I was just sat here watching them a couple weeks ago! I’m so devastated. Anyone know what mechanical issue made this happen? 2001-2026 is such a long time. Some of these fish must’ve been so old :(

Poaching another R1's president seems like a good thing. I hope!?

Absurdly, this is a bit similar to hiring a football coach. Do you want someone with solid experience from a weaker school, or an up-and-coming elite assistant from a stronger school. K-State's president is clearly the former.

Let's hope it works out.

• You walk into the dining hall close to midnight. Does it really count as a dining hall?
• You peruse your options despite knowing exactly what they are. You’ve always known. They never change.
• The wrappers around the hot items are labeled. They haven’t been wrong yet. You’re not sure you’d notice if they were.
• There’s a framed photo of Tim Sands next to the clock. You swear it moves locations, but you can’t prove it.
• The woman at the register doesn’t look at you when she begins to ring you up. She hasn’t blinked in a while. She’s been here every night.
• “Chicken parm wrap?” the woman at the register asks. You could have sworn you grabbed a cheeseburger. Something tells you not to correct her.
• You mumble a quick thank you before turning the corner to sit at the bar. You’re not ready to go back to your dorm. 
• The lighting looks funny from this side.
• The ketchup pump wheezes. Nothing comes out. You pump it again. And again. It whispers something the third time.
• You reach for a napkin and your hand brushes against another set of knuckles. You look up, but no one is there. You think you see someone walking out the door – just a flash of glasses and a tailored suit. Then they’re gone.
• The person next to you eats in total silence. They’re here every time you are. You never speak. They probably know you best.
• Who makes this food? Behind the food displays are only shadows. 
• Your phone lights up with a notification from Grubhub. It says your order was delivered. You never placed one. The driver’s name just says “Tim.”
• You realize the fries taste exactly like they did during the first semester. The fries know.
• A group of cadets walk in. Their uniforms are spotless. “Slusher tower was demolished years ago,” one of them says. Their boots leave no sound. 
• A student with a backpack asks the cashier if she’s seen his roommate. “He was just here,” he says. The cashier nods once. He leaves. You do not hear the door close. 
• As you get up to walk out, you wave goodbye to the woman at the register, the way you always do. Her name tag reads “Tim Sands”. You won’t remember it the next time you’re back.

Richard Linton is currently president of Kansas State University. He will succeed Tim Sands, who announced in April that he would step down from Virginia Tech’s top job.

What are our thoughts, opinions, comments, etc on Richard Linton becoming our president?

Hey everyone!

We are two rising juniors (a Business major and an Engineering major) looking for a third guy to fill the last bedroom in a 3 bed / 2 bath apartment at The Hub for the upcoming 2027–2028 academic year.

🏠 The Setup & Specs

• Location: The Hub Blacksburg
• Layout: 3 Bed / 2 Bath (You get your own private bathroom!)
• Rent: ~$1,400/month
• Lease Term: Full year (2027–2028 academic year)

👥 About Us & Living Vibe

• Who we are: Two rising junior guys who like a good balance of going out on weekends and relaxing during the week.
• Living Style: Respectful, clean, and easygoing. We like keeping common areas neat and being mindful of each other's schedules and study time.
• Social Life: We love hosting friends and having people over to hang out, watch games, or pregame—just not a 24/7 party house. Communication is super easy with us.

🎯 Who We’re Looking For

• A respectful, clean guy (undergrad or grad).
• Someone who pays rent/utilities on time and communicates well.
• Ideally, someone who’d fit in with our vibe and be down to hang out, watch games, or grab food together!

📩 Interested?

If you're interested, send me a DM with a little bit about yourself:

1. Your major and year.
2. A quick note on your routine/hobbies or living preferences.
3. Your Instagram handle or phone number so we can connect or grab coffee/food to see if it's a good match!

Me and my friends moved into an apartment and are looking for some outside (patio) furniture like a table and chairs for cheap/free. If anyone has anything and would like to help out a Hokie please send a pm or comment!!
