Bad times at VT


Aug 19, 2019, 12:06 PM

Don't know if this has been posted before, but SI examines VT's problems. Yikes!

Interesting read. VT will be back but it'll likely take a few recruiting classes. Their schedule this year should help them get some winning confidence. It won't be impressive but should get some of the bad taste from the last year out of their mouths. They should head into signing day with some positive vibes to make people forget about the issues.

Environment


Aug 19, 2019, 12:24 PM

How is the environment there? The tone is set by the HC. For all the criticism Dabo gets about not being a button down- top flight X and 0 guy; he does a superior job of setting the tone. I think he is underrated as an X and 0 guy but; the critics have their "little opinion"!

I think it's more important to have that tone setter sometimes! D'antoni at Michigan St. may get a rare 4 or 5 star(very). He mostly has 3 star guys who know who they are and out work you. He has made it to Big 10 championship games and the CFP. All about attitude and setting the belief out front and keeping everyone on the train as everyone works toward the goal that was set.

For the ACC as a league's sake; let's hope VT can rebound. If VT, Miami, FSU have good years all of a sudden the conference isn't weak! If Nancy St.and Syracuse are good and are ranked - the league must be down. Pitt has 9 NC titles the most of teams considered east coast. Be good if they were good again too!

Thank Goodness for Dabo!

I think they offer group ticket packages.

You just knew something wasn't right last year when that team was so pathetic. The bad stuff always comes out later than sooner. But Yikes! is right. Teammates hoping the team would lose so they would not have to go to a bowl game. Too much dissension creeping into the game. Fuente and staff have to be more on top of this and weed it out quickly, like a certain head coach at a great school in South Carolina (not Mustchump!). Thanks for sharing. Tough to read stuff like this, but necessary.

Coaches are split, too! There is no vacuum in the locker room...what is 'real' is there for all to see, feel, and smell. Pivotal year for Fuente and VaTech.

pride and dedication to history and the commitment they make to their former students who are veterans. Beautiful Campus and buildings!
