Just an older guy trying to make sense of it all. I'm not a parody, just weird. “Average polo-shirted old guy.”

Flashback to one of the great ACCN commercials you were guaranteed to see during a VT-BC nooner #BeatBC

I know, let the committee pick the 12, and let the computer seed them.
Less playoff games. Bring back the computers. Bring back the BCS.

I'm old enough to remember Oregon 59, Florida State 20; Alabama 38, Michigan State 0; Clemson 31, Ohio State 0; Clemson 30, Notre Dame 3; LSU 63, Oklahoma 28. Those were playoff semis, with brand names getting smoked. Don't act like is the first time we've seen playoff blowouts.

I learned geography by the old conferences + the NE independents.
I’m gonna tell my grandkids there was once a simpler world where college conferences actually made sense … 👉 super70ssportsstore.com/prod…

Glad to see this young man starting to make some noise.
Cassius Harris (Tazewell) had two catches for 10 yards on Saturday for the Richmond Spiders in win over Bryant. First two catches of his college career. #LocalsInCollege #CAA #NCAAFootball

We honor her contribution, while we abhor the way it came about.
Oct 4th is Henrietta Lacks Day in Virginia. A native of Roanoke, her cells were taken without consent in 1951 during cancer treatment and became the first to survive outside the human body. These "immortal" cells revolutionized medical research. Today, we honor her life & legacy.

A textbook demonstration of how to destroy a 2-3 zone.
Happy birthday Jack Givens! The Goose was golden in the 1978 NCAA title game, making 18 of 27 shots en route to pouring in 41 points in Kentucky's 94-88 win over Duke at The Checkerdome in St. Louis. The Lexington native finished his UK career as the school's third all-time leading scorer and one of just three players in school history to score 2,000+ points.

Old heads know he’s Archie’s grandson. Grandpa had wheels back in the day. Look up his college highlights.

Old heads remember. Also had a long NFL career as a Special Teams guy. Always struck me as the ultimate “team first” guy.
Look at some you @HokiesFB who didn’t even know my teammate Nick Sorensen is the DC for the @49ers 👀 Nick was a great teammate and versatile player. Happy for my guy. While at VT, he played QB, Safety, & Punter.

It gets more real as you get older.
The struggle is real! 💯

Did they split a tray?
Governor Tim Walz accompanied by Gov. Roy Cooper stopped at a Cookout in North Carolina for ice cream. It’s 93* here. Walz got mint chocolate chip and Cooper got M&M.

I’m gonna need more than a bank holiday for a proper mourning.
Replying to @Number10cat
Couple of points: 1. I feel fine - plenty of life in me yet 2. Obviously there should be a bank holiday for my funeral

I will need some time off to properly mourn when the time comes.

Wow
Pearl Jam took the stage for a special song that doesn't belong to their discography. The song was 'Mother', released by Pink Floyd in 1979 and it was in the band's ground-breaking concept and double album The Wall. This live performance took place live at Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in 2011. What a great tribute and honor to perform this song, just incredible! #PearlJam #PinkFloyd

It may be a ‘terrible’ map, but it actuality makes sense. It’s hard to see Ohio and Nebraska both being in the Midwest.
Finally one that makes sense
