VTChip • 11/17/22 10:41 PM ET

Atlee Hokie • 11/18/22 12:43 AM ET
Only one thing at a time, especially when they're chewing gum.**

saret • 11/18/22 08:14 PM ET
Good point, but how do we know if a mega donor has even been approached?

There's a LOT of money to be made from those series games! **

RJHokie • 11/17/22 09:38 AM ET

VTChip • 11/17/22 01:03 AM ET
I do wish VT would at least charge some nominal fee like this
