after we (hopefully) beat ODU
Magic 8 ball says: Outlook not so good
I agree with the sentiment. I think that is the main reason I've decided to do these. It is partially to try to understand the analytics of football a little better, but also to stay engaged with a team that is desperately trying to get me to stop watching.
Spent Guy and Shit BadCock made me so sad last night I just went to sleep and lost my NYT crossword streak
Brent Pry thinks my prediction of 4-8 is to high
Whit will probably give him an extension after we (hopefully) beat ODU
Don't see how you can do this under a normal timeline. You can't afford to keep Whit and let him make another hire, but you also don't have time to do a drawn out AD search and get them onboard to make a HC hire before the coaching carousel winds up. We cannot keep Pry into next year. Realistically we might have to fire Whit/or he announces his resignation now in advance so we can start an AD search, and probably he needs to go ahead and fire Pry and we use a search committee specifically for this coaching hire.
Thank you for putting up these depressing stats together. Unfortunately, the "for the remainder of the season I want to see more....", I am at the point where I don't want to watch VT Football anymore.
My wife and I talked about the state of affairs and at the end she said it best, "I love watching good football, this is just bad football".
We both decided going forward we will do different things during VT football games goi g forward.
We have arrived to this point.
Yep. "Tyrod did it, Mikey, Tyrod did it!" was the last time we saw a top-tier OOC win at Lane.
We're developmental now. Cignetti going straight to Indiana is the exception; most G5 coaches will still need an ACC/B12 stop before they get a good Power 2 opportunity. Enough ambitious guys will look at VT, evaluate a schedule that maybe only has one of Clemson or FSU on it at most, and say if they get two years here with their selection of the transfer portal they can be lined up for the next time Auburn implodes or when Bert gets bored at Illinois.
Wait wait wait. 2009?? Was that Nebraska??!
So since Tech has t had to deal with firing an AD in decades what's the process? You fire the AD and the interim AD fires Pry and who else off the staff? Who finishes coaching the rest of the season? Then you need to hire a new AD before you hire next HC and staff.
Its like we spent the whole off season on sc and then were shocked to check the schedule on monday morning. If I am pry and team I had vandy circled as a must win and their offense as a must stop for the entire off season. They clearly did not.
As someone who has worked at a startup for the last 3 years... the death spiral feels familiar
They got a three way guy named Koi, who is actually a reincarnated fish. It's how he can play safety, wide receiver and return kicks and punts. Secret gills help him maintain high oxygen levels.
To bring the mood back down to vent thread levels, they scored more points in the 1st quarter yesterday than we have in 2 games. They had backups in with 10 min to go in the 2nd quarter. Brent Pry could never
That was mostly on account of me being lazy and not accounting for garbage time.
If you take out the garbage time stats there is only one successful play in the second half. The 5 yard pick up on 2nd and 6 in the first drive.

# | Virginia Tech vs Vanderbilt Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread He didn't have to break it out...our coaching staff handed it to him on a platter by not adjusting the defensive front. Siefkes threw so many looks at SCar but seemed locked in to a single set in 2nd half that clearly didn't work.
Drones wouldn't see them anyway or would miss the throw 4 out of 5
Pry ruined the recruiting environment for arguably the best recruits we have had on campus for basketball in the last 5 years so I approve the swap of NIL.
Just put it on a credit card or something
Only surprise here is how high our success rate by quarter is in the second half considering we didn't have positive offensive yards until there was less than 4 minutes left in 4th Quarter.
USF has the chance to do the funniest thing, let's see them go 3 for 3 ranked opponents!
Money. Brett Pry can retire making over $25 mil at VT.
Swap the football and basketball NIL budgets, make Pry get through another year of that garbage so no one gives him a head whistle again, then fire whit and Pry and all of the FB staff. Fully back Mike Young because he at least makes his team better than their talent.
Jerry Kill must have some Hokie Stone Kryptonite that he broke out during the second half.
The portal, state of VT football, and state of college football just had me doing the Patrick Star "WHO ARE YOU PEOPLE" on every play.
