@jcalvinmeyer The talent is clearly there. Just hoping he can put it together. He certainly made up for that bunt and more.

@jcalvinmeyer Two incredibly bad ABs from Cowser and Gunnar. Gunnar’s was inexcusable.

Rico Garcia's heroics are wasted. The Orioles can't score in the bottom of the 10th, and we head to the 11th. Colton Cowser's sac bunt attempt didn't work. Gunnar Henderson struck out. Adley Rutschman grounds out.
Jacob Calvin Meyer@jcalvinmeyer

Craig Albernaz asked Rico Garcia to pull a Felix Bautista. Garcia might be a foot shorter than Bautista, but he filled The Mountain's shoes quite nicely. Garcia tossed a scoreless ninth and 10th innings. All the Orioles need to win this is one run in the bottom half.

Franklin stays hot on the recruiting trail. He’s doing great work in short order for the #Hokies 2027 class.

A ton of schools serious about competing in CFB and CBB are heading this direction. Not sure this ever happens without the Whit presentation and the Franklin hiring.
Andy Bitter@AndyBitterVT

In the wee hours last night, Virginia Tech released open session materials for the BOV meeting in June. There's a presentation on forming an athletics-related LLC, Hokie Ventures, to promote business operations in the #Hokies athletic department. virginiatech.sportswar.com/article/2026/0…

I'm not sure Franklin will ever break into that elite-tier of recruiting, but sitting in the low-to-mid teens every cycle should be enough to meet the expectations at Virginia Tech.
Hokie Hangover Podcast@HokieHangover

One of the central questions of our latest episode was this: what is James Franklin's ceiling as a recruiter at Virginia Tech? The early returns seem pretty good, but can Franklin consistently elevate the #Hokies into the upper tiers? Watch/listen here: hokiehangoverpod.com/james-franklin…

@dennyhamlin I’m glad that you and Kyle were able to bury the hatchet. I know y’all were fierce competitors but you worked together for so long and undoubtedly respected one another. Praying for Kurt, Samantha, and Brexton.

@JoshPateCFB @ClayTravis Making the playoff in CFP will become analogous to making the playoff in the NBA for lots of programs. Getting bounced in the first round will not be enough for guys like Kalen DeBoer and Steve Sarkisian.

The coaches vs (some) fans split on an expanded college football playoff is interesting. Coaches know they will be judged on making the playoff or not. Meanwhile the same fans who don’t want an expanded playoff will demand their coaches be fired if they don’t make the playoff.

@tinainvirginia If AI were truly intelligent, it would know the locals also try their best to keep Croatan and Sandbridge a secret.

From Virginia Beach. This is spot on. “asked AI to roast Virginia Beach and thought I’d share the results 😉. Virginia Beach: the only place where you can experience the thrill of a military jet shattering your eardrums while you're stuck in traffic behind a Nissan Altima doing 45 mph in the left lane of I-264. If you’ve ever wanted to visit a beach city that feels like it was designed by a committee of strip-mall developers and retired Admirals, VB is your paradise. Here is a little breakdown of what makes it so uniquely frustrating: The "Oceanfront" vs. Reality You have the Oceanfront, which is basically just a 40-block tourist trap fueled by the smell of cheap sunscreen, funnel cakes, and regret. It’s where people from out of town go to buy a "Virginia is for Lovers" t-shirt and dodge teenagers on electronic rental bikes. But if you actually *live* there? You avoid the Oceanfront like the plague between May and September and pretend Chic's Beach is an exclusive, hidden oasis—even though you’re still just sitting in the sand looking at the Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel. The Town Center Paradox Because the actual beachfront is a chaotic mess, the city decided to build a "downtown" from scratch a few miles inland. Enter Town Center: a hyper-sanitized, artificial cluster of chain restaurants and luxury apartments where people dress up like they're in Manhattan just to go to P.F. Chang's. It has all the organic charm of a freshly printed receipt. The True Local Culture * **The Jet Noise:** Locals call it "The Sound of Freedom." Everyone else calls it "I can't hear my own thoughts because an F/A-18 just buzzed my roof at 2:00 PM on a Tuesday." The Roads:** Northampton Boulevard and Indian River Road are less like thoroughfares and more like real-life games of *Frogger*, except the frogs are driving lifted pickup trucks with pristine, never-used truck beds. The "Seven Cities" Identity Crisis:** Nobody actually knows where Virginia Beach ends and Norfolk or Chesapeake begins, but everyone will aggressively defend their specific suburb as if it has a rich, distinct cultural heritage. Ultimately, Virginia Beach is a city that wants to be Miami, acts like a small military town, and is geographically mostly just a giant swamp with a really long boardwalk. But hey, at least the orange crushes are good.”
