If some way somehow they could beat Stanford 1-2 times this weekend that would help us considerably especially if NCSU could get back into the top 50

The best we can do is support Poppin' It with as much money as possible. Chip and we supporters are doing our part, but more money is needed. Lots more.
As for now NIL money, along with Poppin" It, money is needed. Our players deserve NIL money.
When a Texas university can pay a coach $76 million NOT to coach there, that is serious money.
When a Texas university can pay a softball pitcher more than $1 million a year to pitch, again that is serious money.
My thinking as of now is Poppin' It and NIL money.
Let's go Hokies!!

VT sure as hell doesn't seem capable of the vision required or foresight. Our program has deserved stadium improvements for many years now. I've already shown what hoova, Liberty, did years ago. Meanwhile we operate out of shipping container press boxes and bringing in aluminum HS bleachers when or if hosting. Does this not bother the AD or ANYBODY in VT leadership???? I mean, if I'm the AD, I'm looking at what our peer conference members have, looking at videos and plans the "enemy" is working on and comparing contrasting to our own house. Then doing gap analysis to determine funding, getting the funding, and planning to close gaps if not leap forward. I don't get it.

video clip of him introducing Arthur to the FB team at a practice and had Arthur lead them in a Let's Go Hokies cheer. Franklin might as well be the FB Head Coach AND AD for all intents and purposes.

The first thing he did was to go over and meet Arthur. Later he brought him a hot dog. 😳

pointing out I think Franklin "Gets It". So many great lessons in the simple act of kindness and bringing Arthur over to FB practice! The AD and Ath Dept should take note.

They serve Strawberry Slushies and Mango Slushies that have some type of wine in the mix. You will need to have your ID with you to buy any slushies - they will card you even if you're as effing old as I am.
They're very good and imagine they will be even better on a hot day but why have alcohol in a slushie? It's not like buying beer in a beer container with the brand label all over it - it could be/should be something kids can also have. The alcohol isn't necessary, it's not served in a special container with an alcohol brand name on the cup.
Have your ID with you!

the first Clemson softball game this year and seemed to have a good time. So he knows it’s quite popular for a lot of folks. As Pete says, the rise of football will raise all boats.
