Many VT students come from the DC suburbs in Maryland. It also feels like a subtle tribute to Buzz Williams' sweater from last night.

I'm sure he understands why it exists, but it is still wrong. Maryland is an awful state and their obsession with that god awful flag is laughable.

And I know at least 12 people easily who would love to have that on a shirt.

VT's new indoor practice facility. Hadn't seen it yet, had no idea it was this enormous. Supposed to finish in June and will be one of the best in the country. Tons of natural sunlight.

I thought it was already for sale on Buzz's site. It's been all over my FB.

And people who like Maryland's flag don't live close enough to Maryland to know how truly terrible that state, and therefore all her symbols, are.

That flag is nothing by Monarchist heraldry, making it nothing but :britain:

plus Maryland is basically :china:

but without the authoritarian power and Chinese people.

First they built a Big Ugly Sewage Treatment Plant, then a Big Ugly Hotel, then a Big Ugly Ferris Wheel, and now they're building a Big Ugly Casino because Maryland can suck all the dicks for ruining Virginia's view across the river.

When they say "football" they mean "The Ravens", the University Of Maryland fanbase itself isn't very big and has been beaten down by poor sports administration and mediocre teams

Too much--Frank only practices punting whenever possible and indoor days were the only ones where he used to remember he had quarterbacks on the team.

That's not bad. Fairly similar to TTU's future facility, which is tied up with an indoor track for $48 million or so.

Isn't he unofficially considered the team doctor for a bunch of schools? He did Lattimore's ACL surgeries for us.

Believe so. He's a surgeon/doctor for a shitload of teams and organizations. Hell, even the WWE sends their wrestlers to him. Dude's basically the #1 authority on ligaments.

CSG hears pitch for new fight song, 'Hail and Unite'

quote:

�The Victors� could soon have a modernistic younger sibling.

If a resolution presented to the Central Student Government on Tuesday night passes, the body will provide funding to a group of students looking to develop an additional thematic song to play at University athletics events.

In addition to discussion of the resolution, the meeting also included an interactive presentation on reacting to an active shooter.

Business sophomore Adam Weiss, a representative on the CSG Assembly, spoke on behalf of the song campaign, which he called �Hail and Unite.� He said his friend, LSA senior Mike Weinberg, conceptualized the project.

�This project is meant to be, number one, extremely unique,� Weiss said. �The goal of this song is to get a lot of big names that are associated with the University.�

He added that the project would also be backed by a crowd-funding campaign, which is tentatively set to launch next month.

The Hail and Unite organization asked CSG to allocate $2,750 from its Legislative Discretionary Fund to the project: $1,750 would go toward funding for a promotional video to recruit donations from students, and $1,000 would go toward �speaker fees,� or accommodations for potential visiting contributors.

While the song�s lyrics and tune are still undetermined, Weiss said it is the organization�s aim to involve big names in the music business and University alumni to contribute to the song. For example, he said Weinberg wants to get Eminem involved.

Weiss also said that David Banner, a rapper and music producer, has already agreed to produce the final product.

Numerous representatives voiced uncertainty about the project because they felt its initial budgetary breakdown and ultimate goals were not clear enough to elicit funding. Others voiced concerns that it lacked the philanthropic value of student organizations that had received funding in the past, like MUSIC Matters or optiMize.

After it was suggested that a more detailed budget for the project be disclosed to the assembly, the resolution was sent to the finance committee for review.

This seems like a sound business plan destined to go places.

I am in 100% support of this because it's going to drive the old farts crazy.

It doesn't stand a snowball's chance in hell of coming to fruition but it should be fun to watch in the meantime.

If you're getting David Banner involved the really obvious choice is just to make "Like a Pimp" the new fight song. I would completely approve if Texas wanted to do that.
