It was 56 degrees and dry. In addition to being pretty perfect for a workout, it was about 30 degrees warmer than projected temperatures the rest of the week. Fartsacking was a poor choice. Here’s a sneak peak of Lap Dog on Thursday morning: It was a typical Hokie Pokie warm-up. You gotta give the …

Weatherman gig nailed, I need an …
