They're deluded because they thought a protector of pedophilia (Joe Pa) was going to lead them to the promised land. Total cult up there, most don't see anything wrong with what Joe did or didn't do.
He was one game from making the national championship last year, and a Rose Bowl win before that.
This is so interesting. I met a Penn State grad (older guy, sixties probably) in a group setting today. Someone commented something about Franklin being out. His response was "two years two late." Given how well they did, it seems surprising. I'm guessing they want Natties or next guy up?
Yeah that ship been sailed. Does make me sick that we let IU pluck this dude right out of our backyard though...
Also the odd hokie with unrealistic expectations lol

It is a crazy world where this isn't going to be unusual as players transfer here and there in search of more money/playing time.
I imagine FSU would think they are too good for a coach who was fired. We want to become relevant again, FSU feels they should be competing for the national championship...and a coach who can't win the big game isn't going to move the needle for their fans and their expectations. For this Hokie, I would love to hear us even in the conversation again - to feel that HOPE in early season every year. To know we are only a few games away from reaching the goal. I miss looking at the schedule and seeing "gimmes." Man, we were spoiled - I vow to never underappreciate that again.
Lofty aspirations for Vanderbilt at 19. One former Hokie we won't potentially face is MJ Collins who transferred to Utah State after one year at Vandy.
Vandy did another thorough Portal overhaul. Frankie Collins, SG on his fourth school after stops at Michigan, Arizona State and TCU but likely starts at PG. Tyler Harris, PF on his third school after prior stops at Portland and Washington. Mike James, Wing comes over after two years at Louisville. George Kimble averaged 18 ppg at Eastern Kentucky last year as a SG. Devin McGlockton, SF, returns but Hokies saw him for a couple years at BC before last year at Vandy. Mason Nicholson, PF transferred in after 3 years at Jacksonville State. AK Okereke, SF comes in after 3 years at Cornell. Jalen Washington, Center, spent 3 years at UNC before coming over.
Tyler Nickel is one of only three returners from last season.
Vanderbilt has 7 guys that averaged double-digit scoring last year, plus three more that averaged 7.5 ppg or higher. The biggest question is how they gel all these new pieces and keep all the scorers happy with reduced roles in that regard. The freshmen that signed were all 3 🌟 so likely don't see the floor much.

He's a reporter, not a bookie... why would he be making the odds?
VCU at 60 surprises me with coaching change and basically an entire new starting five plus bench from the portal and most from lower level basketball. They only have one guy that averaged double digit scoring last season and only two others that were above 8 ppg. Ward from LSU seems legit, Tracey was a bench guy at Oregon last year, Mitchell from Bryant has a load of question marks as does Evans from Bryant. The new head coach, Martelli, was the Bryant head coach last year so Mitchell and Evans at least know his system.
In my opinion its better that he got the odds from an actual sportsbook that calculates lines every day as their job instead of just making up numbers himself. But yeah he should have clarified that in the original post

Ahh so no actual thinking on his part .... just regurgitation.
I wouldn't mind one of those losses being us. I'm assuming the incestuous rankings will favor the SEC as usual and as an ACC team, we'll only end up with ~4 chances for Q1 wins in conference games. So it would be nice to make some of these count.
Preseason read on the ACC is mixed. Seems like Duke and Lewisville are the top teams, then a whole lot of unknown. I've seen Hokies slotted anywhere from 6th 16th.

Comprehensive preview with intel on college football's coaching carousel for 2025 from @RJ_cfb + @chris_hummer with a nugget about Shane Beamer and Virginia Tech 👀 https://t.co/ym4r1xwhec— Brad Crawford (@BCrawford247) October 15, 2025
None of the other openings have 'gone dark' like ours has this week. That is what he was referencing.
Is it bad that I hope St. Mary's comes out with at least 2 losses so we don't have to hear about them come Feb/Mar.
2+2=5 for medium values of 2.
Looks like the field for this tournament changed a good bit since it was originally announced. Bracket

- CSU (79)
- St. Mary's (55)
- Wichita State (128)
