My kid started at Minnesota this year. Maybe I'll just live vicariously through her. Follow an athletic department that gives a damn.
Mine went to UF so sometimes that works out for me...and then sometimes it doesn't. Last night wife and daughter shit-canned Napier a couple of hours before I shit-canned Pry.
He cannot handle any amount of adversity. It's a huge problem and the entire team feeds off of it. He has to realize the he is THE QB1 and his role is more than handoff and throw.
I'm just too old for this shit!
Wish I could double upvote for Helen Keller reference
Yea, last night was the first time I've felt disinterested. I've never turned off a game before it ended before. I don't leave stands early. It's not because I'm a hardcore or out of obligation... I just recognize that we only get 12 games per year, and I want to watch as many as possible.
Well, yesterday was the first time I wanted the clock to move faster so we could get out out of misery.
We should hire JMU's AD, try to get Mullen, and let those two completely rework the entire athletic department from the ground up
Yes, there is only one way to go when you have hit rock bottom. It's times to rip the band-aid off this entire AD.
Oh my sweet summer child
I understand not having as much talent as teams that have a bigger budget.
I don't get having a poorly coached team. JMU and USF manage to field well coached football teams with much less money and no significant conference affiliation.
Does Minnesota have players, though?
Even the broadcasters were calling for an adjustment to our wide set edge rushers. They just exploited that gap in the run game all day. I'm assuming we were supposed to have a linebacker there to fill that gap but Jayden Keller must have some relation to Helen cause I have no idea what he was seeing all game.

we did...didn't even try to get a review of the spot...looked to me like Seldon (iirc) might have made it on 3rd down.
Pry's decision making in real time is awful. But Garrett's injury and failure by the coordinators to make any kind of adjustment on either side of the ball sealed our fate
Me late to the party watching us go up 20-10 >>>>
Me then watching Vandy drop 34 straight on us <<<<
"$750,000 per quarter until the end of 2027"
By my math if we fire him now, it would be a $6.75M buyout (9 qtrs).
VT has to can Whit and Pry immediately. This cannot continue. I have never seen the fan base so collectively and rapidly turn like this. Just based on the pulse of social media and the VT boards, I'd say pretty much 100% of the fan base has had enough. Keep both coordinators and honestly let Mines be interim coach the rest of the season. He's popular with the players and maybe could rally the troops just a little bit.
VT should start an AD search immediately after, and we should get a football hiring committee together right now and go out to UNLV and hire Dan Mullen like we should have done probably in 2015 and definitely 2021. Apparently UNLV doesn't even have the money to pay out his contract. Go get a proven winner in the SEC who was extremely interested in this job twice before.
I don't think they can change the kick time after it's been announced, and we are the only 7pm kickoff.
The crazy thing looking at next week's schedule is USF (who will be ranked) @ Miami is playing on the CW. ESPN really missed that one.
Something clicks and his drive to win just goes away. He was trucking defenders in the first half. 2nd half he ran away and threw the ball away on a 3rd and 23.....
I'm not trying to be doom and gloom, but this program is done. I don't see a path to recover and then build back up to an ACC contender.
The ironic thing is that the path is more straight forward than ever before: just increase giving.
No major athletic program has sustained success under Whit.
Yes. Most coaching hires are busts
VT fan: "it's hard to imagine any coach less well-suited for and able to handle the challenges of P4 football than Justin Fuente"
Whit: "Hold my beer"
Ya know it's going to be way easier to check out this season thanks to the portal. I used to at least have an interest on how our players grew and developed, now with 30 new players I really don't care at all.
Or we are going to be broken all season
The one that was completely inexcusable for me was when the game was still somewhat close, we had 4th and 10 deep in our own territory and he throws a 4 yard out pattern in blanket coverage. That has no hope of being successful, you're better off throwing deep and praying for a miracle.
