Blacksburg

And that number is embarrassing low for college and college-age students.

When we go downtown in Blacksburg and we look at age, it's clear.

The younger the pedestrian, the less likely will you get a wave of thank you.

And by the way, there's a field called positive psychology, and it is such an important area.

And Torque is probably an interesting one in the self-driving space.

We were founded, I'm actually here in Blacksburg, Virginia, right next to Virginia Tech, by a group of grad students that were really good at competitive robotics and really wanted to figure out what we could do with this technology.

So going all the way back to 2006, 2007, you know, we were in kind of that major event, the DARPA Urban Challenge, which if you kind of trace the roots of all the senior leaders across self-driving companies, whether it's Waymo, Aurora, Stack, you name them, most of them got their roots in that same kind of competitive environment.

And we were fortunate enough to be the third place finishers, Carnegie Mellon and Stanford being one and two.

Everybody was curious.

What would happen to Wake Forest after beating Carolina? What would they do? Well, they go up to Blacksburg.

They score – what was their – their forward scores a hat trick.

They smack around Virginia Tech 4-1.

They've got Wake Forest this week on the road where they're almost two touchdown underdogs.

Then they are on a buy, and then they host Cal, and then they host North Carolina, and then they travel to Blacksburg, where they haven't won since the 90s.

They have to win two out

of those.

Gobblers.

All the football business going down in Blacksburg.

We will talk with Andy Bitter.

Ethan Gronkmeyer, good evaluation.

Maybe he hasn't turned the ball over.

But I will say one last point about this is the time to fire Des Kitchings was after the Virginia Tech loss a couple years ago in Blacksburg.

And then that's when they announced that anonymous donation, which we all suspect wasn't so anonymous.

And then they gave Des the extension, which I think Mike Barber had to FOIA.

Yeah, but in all seriousness...

I don't know.

Maybe a tech win that salvages something? A win in Blacksburg? I mean, it comes down to that one dangling carrot.

Maybe.

Yeah, but in all seriousness, I don't know.

Maybe a Tech win? that salvages something, a win in Blacksburg? I mean, it comes down to that one dangling carrot.

Maybe.

Under Tony, UVA's had one of these road upset wins at times, right? They won at Pitt a couple of years ago.

Virginia Tech have to play at home.

They play each other next year in Blacksburg.

But a big win for James Franklin and the Hokies and Clemson's offense.

It stinks.
