I just watched your interview with @TaddeoAndrew and it may have been the most substantive 7 or 8 minutes spent in any segment I’ve seen on what’s become a narrative that’s pissed me off lately. The fact that many in our business crucified the non P4 teams getting in solely because 2 got in when it was the @TheACC having a stupid tiebreaker was responsible bull…t! Responsible TV broadcasters should know better. In its current format they had every RIGHT to play! Whether the format changes and a separate Playoff for the G6 schools is out together (frankly I don’t see a TV appetite for it)is up to the leaders of the @CFBPlayoff. Their 2nd half back door cover was damned compelling! It left @oregonfootball doubting themselves afterwards. This just in, those @JMUFootball players have their jockstraps on too! They have dreams and wanna compete👍🏈🎙️🎧

It seems like everyone’s getting in this jersey debate nowadays, so I’d like to put this take out there.

*ahem*

These were the best jerseys JMU basketball has ever had. They should be brought back. I won’t be taking further questions. Thank you.

“Every kid I see at those hospitals has cancer. So this is a football game. There are a lot of people doing a lot more complicated things on this planet than (football), and so the message is easy. Here’s a challenge. What are you going to do?”

Dr. Binks publishes a chapter on the neurophysiology of dyspnea in the Handbook of Clinical Neurology - "a prestigious, multi-volume reference work". His chapter is a state-of-the-art summary of the neurobiology of a clinical symptom that negatively impacts millions of patients.

In a recent letter to the editor of @roanoketimes, VTCSOM student Lauren Canary discusses how "viruses like hepatitis A, B, C and HIV can spread like wildfires in communities that do not invest in housing, vaccination and harm reduction." https://t.co/Agx38C55Mu

An amazing student (hint: it’s @somatosavory) brought me my favorite blueberry donut from my favorite Carol Lee Donuts in Blacksburg this morning. If you are a @VT_alumni you know how special this is! My day is made! 😊
