like you did, that no matter how you read it, twist it, or turn it...........is negative. Why? James Franklin's contract ink is barely dry, and I just have to say this isn't necessary. C'mon. How about a "glass half full" and say "When Franklin retires ranked with Beamer as a Hokie great",. he will have left our program on much solid ground. We just landed a bunch of 4stars and it appears more heading our way - Franklin leaving in a couple of years just does not fit with the vibe, mood, or tone today. Not a flame. Not trying to piss you off. Just asking we keep it positive, as but for the hot deucer we laid Saturday night - it's been as positive a few weeks in Hokie land in quite a while. MTH
