Welcome to Bacon Day!
What’s the best way to celebrate a day dedicated to the finest of treats? By chowing down on some crispy bacon and, of course, watching Kevin Bacon flicks. Make this bacon-wrapped pork tenderloin for dinner tonight, or try out baconsticks (like breadsticks, but better) as a snack. Don’t forget to pull out “Footloose” for some quality holiday entertainment.

Arkansas vs. Virginia Tech - Game Summary - December 29, 2016 - ESPN (ESPN)
It's never easy to replace an icon.
One way to do that is to create your own legacy, something first-year coach Justin Fuente is doing at Virginia Tech after taking over for Frank Beamer.
Jerod Evans threw for 243 yards and two touchdowns and ran for two scores and No. 18 Virginia Tech pulled off an epic comeback -- the largest in the school's 124-year history -- by erasing a 24-point halftime deficit to beat Arkansas 35-24 on Thursday night in the Belk Bowl.
"It's a fantastic honor," Fuente said. "And I think it speaks to our guys -- the character and toughness and what it means to play for Virginia Tech. They love Virginia Tech."
Along with that memorable feat, Fuente also won 10 games this season -- something no other Hokies coach, even Beamer, can say he accomplished in his first season.
It wasn't easy though.
