  1. He said 7 home games, which means all of the out of conference games have to be home games, so I doubt it is a realistic goal every year.
  2. Maybe he’s looking for a coach with a track record of making it to an elite 8.
  3. I have 16 parks - have not been to a new one since my son was born and the world shut-down in early 2020. We visited O.Co in 2016 when in town for the Texas-Cal game (ugh). We bought last minute tickets in the second deck for almost nothing and there were three other people in our section. I do not remember the game, but I remember the guy that bought a hot dog and sat down in the corner of the section to eat it. The stadium employee immediately stopped him and asked him to see his ticket and he ignored her and pretended he couldn't talk with the hot dog in his mouth. The employee eventually got another employee, who got security, and by the end of the half-inning, there were a dozen guys trying to interrogate this guy sitting in an almost completely empty section of a mostly empty stadium. He walked off at the end of the half-inning after finishing his hot dog. I tried to buy a stuffed animal for my sister on the way out and the gift shop was basically totally empty because apparently they did not want to restock because the season was almost over.
  4. Unless it has changed in the last few years, UVA gives priority basketball tickets to students that go to non-revenue sports games, not football games. Also, it doesn't really matter, but Scott Stadium (61,500 capacity) is bigger than WVU and the same size as ISU - but much smaller than South Carolina, which has a pretty big stadium. I know that UVA does value winning in football, but they just have not figured out how to do it consistently.
  5. You're probably overthinking it. Certainly men buy a lot of coach for their spouses and girlfriends, but I will also note that there used to be two coach stores in the mall near here - one for men's products, so they obviously sell men's products as well.
  6. If you're going to count New York state as included in the Big Ten, you should probably include Virginia as well, as Maryland is bigger in the main population center of Virginia than Rutgers is in New York City.
  7. My favorite part of the rendering is all of the orange people who are wandering aimlessly in random directions spaced all along the sidewalk.
  8. My guess is not until the guys we want decide where they are going.
  9. Does the track cut through the endzones?
  10. Virginia Tech had not been ranked in the AP poll in over 20 years in 1977 - they appeared in a single poll in the 37 years from 1956 and 1993 (the final poll of 1986). At least WVU was sporadically ranked in the 1970s.
  11. When you have the chance to live in the Gong, you have to do it.
  12. Is the fanbase happy if you basically forfeit the conference championship to a rival and they get a bye and you do not?
  13. I honestly don't know whether "shit under the hood" is a good or bad thing. It makes it sound like he's a bit of a head-case.
  14. But some conferences are doing greater than others... https://www.secsports.com/article/33821910/sec-leads-nation-16th-consecutive-year-nfl-draft
  15. That's obviously true, but what are the odds that the Pac 12 is getting two bids even with 16 teams - seems pretty low. 1 bid divided by 10 will definitely be more beneficial than 1 bid divided by 16...
  16. It remains to be seen whether the post-felony-domestic-assault-arrest Beard has the same level of success.
  17. He’s also bringing a lot more baggage to this job than he was to Texas. Heading to your alma mater to put together your dream job staff not far removed from being close to a championship is a bit different than heading to Ole Miss after being fired from your dream job for being arrested for felony domestic assault. Some of those guys may also feel somewhat personally betrayed.
  18. https://www.bizjournals.com/portland/blog/threads_and_laces/2015/11/in-wake-of-texas-mega-deal-a-new.html
  19. It looks like he'll be getting a little bit more in base pay (and 7 years).
