(thanks for flagging :) )
I'm assuming OK State will go after Zac Robinson. Former quarterback in Stillwater, now OC for Falcons.
Pearl has always been a little flexible in that department.
In my heart he'll always be 40
I was solidly against and took heat for it

Oh hey! This sounds like what we're dealing with in Chicago City Council.
Good call on Briles
Tbh, I haven't been able to watch any of the games after SCAR, so I didn't know he was hurt.
Burgos has had diminishing returns the past two years, the talent is clearly there, and that was a Pry offer. Fuente didn't even offer him.
Heath is injured. Was on sidelines but not in uniform.
Hiring Pry back?
Also Art Briles.
Is heath on the team any more? Greene has done well. Burgos has been disappointing for me, I thought hed be a lot better. Laws is coming around and still young.
You are right about PJ from last season.

Ayden Greene, Burgos has been ok, Emmett Laws, Heath, Woodson has developed but may be poorly coached.

# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 This right here. BOV meetings are "business meetings," so the work is done behind the scenes and the public-facing meetings are required for legal compliance. They'll do their business out in the open but they're not going to put something like this on a public agenda if it isn't already sealed. There will be a presentation from our COO and CFO about the nature of the financial situation, which I expect to be fairly brief, and a vote to approve. I'm not sure how much discussion to even expect.

No way a committee led by the chair and two board members is going to put together a proposal and go public with it without the votes. I'm sure Rocovich has even had one on ones with other members informally to ensure they back it. It's just how boards work.

# | VT BoV Approves increase of athletics budget by $47.1m this year, growing to a total budget of $212m in 2029 I'm curious as to how much of the "philanthropy" portion was contingent on getting rid of Pry and trying to get a better coach/football resources in place

Prioleau did look like he was ready to break out last year as a change of pace back before getting hurt, so it's not totally fair to pin all his success on playing Wofford.
One thing that I have been thinking about regarding Wofford and the remainder of the schedule is the phrase "you see the most improvement between week 1 and week 2." I am hoping that under Montgomery, this is the first time some of these guys have experienced real coaching in the last few years at VT. It is probably like 90% wishful thinking, but I think it is possible.
So much of the production has come from transfers who are only here a year or two, it is hard to judge the talent and development that has come. But if guys like Devin Alves and the backup TEs start showing up (let alone a Wiggins or Adams at WR) then I will start to feel like this might be true.
Agreed. You don't want people making fun of you, then don't let them beat you two years in a row or at all.
As a Hokie alumni and current OK State grad student (go Pokes), this has been a particularly bad year to watch football. On the other hand, I'm not a big fan of Gundy the person so I'm not sad to see him go. It is impressive to see that even with a shit ton of oil money thrown at it, you can still drive a football program straight into the ground. Makes me feel less bad about Pry driving our broke ass program into the ground. Now I'm stuck living vicariously thru my daughter at Minnesota. Can't wait for hockey season to start.
