now you made me hungry

 

[SimpleDawg]

I'd like to know how many teams are not playing cupcakes right now.

 

[garddog]

now you made me hungry

You should come on down and head over for some MSU ice cream and world famous Edam cheese. Dairy Science Rocks!

 

[SECbbfan24]

Let not all lie to ourselves. We would eat the cupcake....

Every program schedules cupcakes obviously. I would love to see Vic schedule more high quality games. They have been a consistent top 10 program the last few years, would expect a little more from them.

No worries, there's plenty! Vic's got 'em all lined up for all who want some!

Does every AG school have Ice Cream for sale? NC State here has an ice cream brand... called Howling Cow. Harris Teeter is/has teamed up with them to distribute the ice cream state wide.

VPI is in a dogfight with in-state foe Liberty.... 62-58 in the 4th

 

[SECbbfan24]

I am now inspired to look for LSU cakes

 

[eebmg]

Let me know if it tops this




I don't think Vandy is very good this year but their young players with Fasoula has some potential to maybe scare some teams this year. I don't know if White will survive though.

Dang Blastard. backboards ruining the game

Starting from Nov 30th, I think our schedule will be among the better ones in the country. 8 potential top 25 opponents. We just need to get through the first 8 snoozers and just let our young players stretch their legs a bit. It's a logical strategy; just nobody likes it when a top team plays cupcakes.

 

[triaddukefan]

Whew... VPI escapes 73-69.

Haha "potential top 25" -- now we're getting desperate. And let's not confuse "not quite as embarrassing" with "among the better ones in the country."

Six opponents that are currently in the top 25 -- two of them are #25 USF and #23 Arkansas.

VPI has the best in-house announcers of any school I've come across. Mack McCarthy is an retired Men's coach at UTC, VCU, and ECU.

I'm a huge Vic fan but that OOC slate is very bad for a top 10 program. They will face some quality teams in conference play yes but was expecting a bit more pre conference.

Lol, every other team has about the same amount of top 15 teams. We have 4. How many teams have more than 4? Only a couple others, I'm sure.

Every other great team has about the same amount. Tennessee just beat Notre Dame, they'll be in the top 25 next week and I'll see you raise the count to 7.

sugar (won cupcake wars) is tight around the corner from me

And USF will probably get dropped out to make room for Tennessee. So we're back to 6.

You just reminded me...... one of the winners of that show (ive never seen it) opened up a shop about 40 minutes away.

 

[garddog]

Vic trying out the twin towers look tonight. Had Carter and Taylor in for about 3 mins and now has Taylor and Morris in.

Alright, Plebe man. Alright. Just don't get riled up here. LOL.

I just fail to see how our overall schedule is much worse than the other top teams.

Just off the top of my head -- Oregon, Stanford, Oregon State, South Carolina, UCLA ... and probably others I'm not thinking of.

 

[Lorcan]

Seton Hall without Shadeen Samuels and Princeton without Bella Alaire makes for a dogfight, but Princeton wins! 78-76.
