Finally finished the @HokiesFB feature wall in the new casa. Probably shouldn’t admit it, but I’ve been collecting helmets and plotting this thing for probably five years. Pumped it’s complete.

Grateful for a wife who will let me put my nerdiness on display. #Hokies

Not to sound hyperbolic or have extreme recency bias, but........

Are we currently living through the greatest NBA Finals of all time AND the greatest Stanley Cup Finals of all time, simultaneously?

I just interviewed the EastBay founders about their new book: The Book of Eastbay

They were a delight, and everyone should check it out

@Sydslidepark @crawf34 Let's go! Hope you enjoy!

[Sammy Eanes @sammyeanes]

@SneakerAlertHD Those catalogs are core memories.

Good timing for this post, too. The Book of Eastbay just dropped today, if anybody wants the full story behind how it all started.

@crawf34 @Sydslidepark Good news - this interview was to promote the book Art & Rick wrote about Eastbay. It's out today: https://t.co/KB7OLIaJ0x

Steve Cropper was never a household name the way Jimi Hendrix and Eric Clapton are, but he was the guitar hero’s guitar hero.

In Memoriam: “Play it, Steve!” Immortalized with a shout-out in Sam and Dave’s “Soul Man,” 1992 Inductee Steve Cropper was one of music’s most recognized and in-demand guitarists. (1/3)

Stax soundtrack this Thursday in honor of Steve “The Colonel” Cropper.

Thanks for a lifetime of iconic music.

Play it, Steve.

@RobBishopSD Likewise, Rob! Was rooting for you guys, too. Hope all is well out there, too!

I rarely post anymore, but another Mets season just came to an end, short of a championship.

A tip of the cap to probably my favorite Mets team of all time. So many memories.

Lindor having arguably the best season in Mets history
Pete Alonso’s post season
All the comebacks
Vientos’ emergence
Jesse Winker being a sicko
Iglesias’ OMG anthem
Grimace

Thanks for one fun ride, 2024 @Mets

Rewatching the #WrestleMania  main event.

Undertaker’s bell tolled 3 hours and 16 minutes into the show.

Between that and Triple H’s tweet, that spot was intended for Austin, or it was a masterful job by @WWE to throw people off the scent of Taker being the final surprise.

If there's ever a Battle Royale involving the parents of college athletes, the #Hokies win hands down.

[Sammy Eanes @sammyeanes]

Someone's math isn't mathin.

VT games with available data:
Syracuse - 782,000
FSU - 3.02 million
Marshall - 319,000
Rutgers - 720,000
Purdue - 294,000*
Average: 1.027 million

You could make an argument to toss out Purdue, which would bring the average to 1.21 million.
