In the ACC, I could see UNC making a change or BB walking away....

Wake Forest will open when Dickert moves on....

In the Big, when does Ferentz retire? They make the playoffs this year, does he go out on a high note?

Does Fleck finally find his next school?

agree with Cards..great fan support, one of the away games I like going as they actually have fans who care...but do to their history they usually all have gallows humor.

Some rumors going around in Blacksburg that if Doeren is canned, they may look to Shane Beamer when he is canned this year.

But considering where NC State is at, they should be able to get a great roster every year.

Only thing I hate about them is their stupid wolf pack hand signal

I have stated this a few time on here...

As a VT fan, we cannot be more happy...oh no, he loses the big games, well we just want to be in the big games again. He already has VT back recruiting at the peak of Beamer.

Secondly, he has already came in and started renovating parts of the buildings, locker rooms, etc...ie, taking us from the mid 2000s to modern program.

As for this year, if he wins 7 games with this roster he will have had a great year. VT had layers of crap coming in, our best players from the terrible teams are at Alabama and UCLA now. He could not turn over the whole roster. Lots of young guys, take the bumps and move on.

Secondly, if he wins 10 games a year, he will have a statue like Beamer in Blacksburg.

VT knows we are not Ohio St, Alabma, LSU, etc...so we do not get pitch forks out for bad losses.

Never forget the play that started the ACC sharing communications...VT scores a TD and was confirmed on the field...and miraculously it is turned over and Miami wins :lol:

ACC refs favoring Miami for years and still 0 ACC championships...

lol at Ryan Day..
Ok...I am the old man on the porch yelling at the clouds...

College Football Was Great

* Regional Rivalries - talking crap to people you lived near...UCLA and Rutgers fans have nothing in common...Pitt and Clemson no history...etc etc

* Goal one was always to win your conference and see where the chips lay...now your goal is not get injured for the potential next 4 to 5 games...

* Regular season meant something each week...oh you are 10-0..well the next weeks lets play some of our back ups to make sure they are ready just in case

* Bowl Games - yes, I think losing these are terrible...for fans..you stick through a tough season you still usually got rewarded with a nice warm location...and now the Rose, Sugar, etc are no longer events...they are just game hosts...

People will say teams like mine VT should be happy as there is a better chance at the playoffs, while probably true, still to me would never beat winning the conference and then playing a big game against a Texas or Auburn, etc...oh yeah, we got our arse kicked, so what I am going on Borbon St and partying...now if it happens, enjoy crappy Columbus or Norman in December (no offense, no one wants to go to Blacksburg either)

sorry for double post, but not easy to get to even from Europe so not sure what they are doing
Tunisia...say Carthage and they may know :lol:

And things always change in Africa, but Rwanda has really done an amazing job in the last decade in making things better, and frankly much safer than other countries in Africa. Do work over that way, and one of the few places you do not need security

Damn...dont watch one race and HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSS get double points...maybe I should visit the inlaws in Chicago more often :lol:
Now, mind you it has been 5 years since last time I was there and it has become more "open"...

Obviously, alcohol is verboten, but they do have some terrific restaurants in Riyadh. Najd Village I had been taken to a couple times for Arabian food and always a great time. Also, if you like India, Zafran is really good.


Lots of good shawarma shops...never had a bad one.

When call to prayer starts, nothing moves. I would setup your phone to plan accordingly, ie if you need to go to the bathroom.

As for sites to see, it was mainly just malls and office buildings I was taken to, so no real recommendations there. I would look into a tour guide.

A colleague said Riyadh Season was pretty good for a visit.

Couple things, the hotel bars usually have great juice drinks.

I am on the larger side, but be prepared for lots of fat slobs.

CAPS STACKED, LEAGUE frickED

All beware the Protai

Seriously our forward depth is insane this year. Solid enough defense and a top 5 goaltender. Very stoked for this season.


One last ride for the Captain....Wilson, Tuch, Leonard, Protai (love that, going to steal it), Kyrou up front....
