should help with the angst ridden frustration of a sub par campaign in what is considered VPI's flagship athletic pursuit. The most obvious example is embracing basketball. While of course you may not reach our lofty heights, you have achieved a level of relevance. Next are the Olympic Sports. You actually have improved greatly in many of those activities to rival our efforts. Obviously none of those can replace the weekend commitment of Fall Saturdays travelling and tailgating for the expected win on the gridiron. I would fill that void with yachting on the Bay. Most of you probably do not embrace the Salt Life, so there is the Bass Boat option. We would occasionally travel. I do not believe that Tuscany trips really fit your dynamic, but I do hear that Branson, Gatlinburg, and Myrtle Beach have a vibe you will enjoy. Just remember Gobblers, there is a world of excitement beyond Lane Stadium. Toodle loo for now.
