Agree entirely. They're the bright light in February's winter bleakness.

I'll get SAD once the season ends, whether it's tomorrow, next week, or in June. Love this team. True student athletes, too!

Two names from my childhood that I haven't heard or even thought about in

ages! Nice to know that I'm not the only old guy out here. Remember watching Bingo on channel 7 back in the 60s? Mom would give me a calendar and a box of buttons so I could play along. (Obviously, I had no chance of getting any numbers higher than N31, but I was five, so...)

I wore that radio out from 75 through 81. Risked waking up my parents when

they'd be on the west coast. A few years back while driving home, I found a YouTube video from May 21, 1975 (I think), and listened to it while driving up I-81. So cool to hear Marty and Joe. And the Reds won, too! Thank goodness for Bluetooth and smart phones.

You've got to be kidding me...

Went to the bathroom...we were getting ready to punt...just returned, and now we're down by 7. Gonna be a long day.

Exactly right. That's why you play Drones until he gets hurt. Make him

earn that huge paycheck that he's getting. Same goes for the rest of this bunch.

I hear ya. I took my required public speaking class at VT the fall of '81.

The topic of my persuasive speech was no split season playoffs in baseball. The horrendous 1982 season just rubbed salt into wounds.

AMEN!

He's laughing all the way to the bank. Self respect? Doubt if he has any.

He sold it. I agree with your post wholeheartedly. In today's world, however, everyone has a price.

Don't we have any rich alumni out there?

If I remember correctly, the Craigslist owner was a Hokie. Don't know how much it's worth nowadays, but... UPDATE: 2024 revenue was $302 million and trending downward. So much for that idea. He'll be saving his aluminum cans soon - just like me ** Edited by WVHokie84 at 9/13/2025, 11:57:08 PM

Mario Soto. What could have been if he were just a few years older back

in '75 and '76. Cincinnati would have won over 110 games each regular season. And Mario would have won a Cy Young award. ** Edited by WVHokie84 at 9/13/2025, 11:36:29 PM

Unless there's a good replacement, play him until he gets hurt.

Make him earn every cent of that NIL. Season's already in the crapper anyway.
