I heard its a good idea not to mock the intelligence of a Hokie, unless you want to mess with the whole flock. But idle/joking threats aside, "I heard" implies someone said it to begin with, and I'm wondering what undercover authority inside FIRST is spilling secrets, and where the bowling pins idea came from, unless someone 'heard it' from the big speculation of next year's game in the general forum. Also asking for a source of a rumor is a way to distinguish how likely it is that the rumour is true, for all I know someone on one of the teams does have a friend on the inside. But paranoia and conspiracy theories aside, I asked for a source just as a way to relate my message to the one before it before going off on a tangent about what I would predict in the game next year (with that explanation, who ever said ESM majors are anal-retentive)
By the way, I heard Woodie is leaving MIT for Virginia Tech, and Dean is giving up inventing to pursue a career in politics.
