Great hire for VA Tech. VA Tech has a 250 million dollar football donation coming in evidently.

Lost in the sauce today because of all the Kiffin smoke to LSU.

Kiffin to LSU is everyone’s concern right now.

Just because it's in Blacksburg, doesn't mean the area is historically black. Christiansburg was historically a lot blacker and had some real problem kids in their schools even forty years ago. (In college we renovated a school for a community center and then tried to help the underprivileged kids with their reading. Third graders mostly wrote four letter profanities in their books.)

Franklin is going to find it's a whole new world. unlike both Vandy and State College.

The name has nothing to do with the black population and everything to do with the "Black" family that owned the property and deeded it to the incorporated town after the state recognized it. It was named after them.

This one of the most confusing posts I've ever read on this board. What made your brain tell your fingers to type this?

Wow. You mean it's a different school? In a different town? In a different state? In a different conference?

Have you let other people know what you discovered?

This will likely be the best hire of the cycle.
