But it was entertaining watching Keller run all around the field like he was lost and was looking for a hockey puck to to pick up a 7-10 split.
Bro this had me rolling haha thank you
ok so im going to nip this
buzz has a 7 year itch thing. people in my field swear by a "new job every 3 years" thing, so does buzz. we knew this going in and he left us better than when he got in.. not a whit issue
we matched kentuckistan. brooks left us high and dry, checked out after his best player got injured; he knew he wasnt winning a natty after kitley got injured and stopped coaching and worked on interviewing instead. he is a legit scum fuck, abandoned his players and poached his best out the door. not a whit issue.
When we punted on 4th and a nose hair I knew Pry was done and I also knew the team would quit on him. And they did. The other thing worth mentioning is that everybody in the crowd was just apathetic towards the whole thing and we all just looked at each other when we went down 10 and all of us sort of got up and left. I think we've gone off the cliff my friends... nobody cares anymore because it hurts too much to watch Sands/Whit/Pry exhibit such incompetence. Not sure the program recovers from this but if anybody actually cared they would at least clean house immediately and start over.
Whit Babcock hired Justin Fuente
Whit Babcock let Buzz Williams walk away
Whit Babcock let Kenny Brooks walk away
btw speaking of mouseketeers, at least they got embarrassed worse so my cousins won't talk shit. real #HardEdge in morganhole
For me the biggest WTF moment in this game happened in the 1st quarter: Brent Pry turned down a penalty that would have made it like 2nd and 25 and chose to keep 3rd and 9. Vandy converts it for a first down and is gashing us across the field until the Quentin Reddish interception...Pry was so lucky to get bailed out that way
I'm with you. I've really tried to look at the positives and been an advocate for giving Pry the time needed to turn this around because I really like the guy. But it's just not happening.
I've spent a lot of money going to the first two games, but I'm kinda done.
Unless he goes 10-2 this year, Pry has to go.
my younger brother and I are the only good guys in my piece of shit mousketeer (you know the real word, I was told not to drop it) family. he worked his ass off, lost 150 lbs and got his rn degree (2nd bachelor's degree) this summer. so I got him tix for the miami game (first game in lane we're going to since that fucking awful Thursday night in 07) fucking embarrassment, he just told me "basil, loving tech because they win hasn't been a thing for a decade."
I don't drink, my wife asked me to stop smoking. im stone cold sober raging over this. group chats have gone silent for hours. I just cant
Whit Babcock hired Brent Pry.
A-fucking men Sergio. We paying these "athletes" to put a gigantic glob of shit on the field. They fold up and quit, the coaches could care less. But it was entertaining watching Keller run all around the field like he was lost and was looking for a hockey puck to to pick up a 7-10 split.
What a gut punch of a loss. And we've had our fair share of those.
I was about to say, they are exactly where we used to be. Top 10 ranked team that everyone thought was overrated and couldn't beat anyone great?
Yeah I would love to get back to that level. Right now we can't even beat anyone mediocre
I'm gonna be honest fellas. Hard to admit, but it's true.
I sat down and had a good cry a few minutes ago.
I was 7 when I went to my first home game. Parents took me to the top of east stands to sit, and it felt like the highest place I'd ever been. I'm from Frank's hometown. He graduated HS with my grandpa. Frank is the only person who's ever made much of himself from there, except Miss America 1979.
I was 9 when Vick and the '99 season happened. I even got to meet him when my family went out to eat at Ryan's in Christiansburg and he happened to be there eating. To me he was like a living superhero. Never seen a more electric athlete. When we lost the natty I was heartbroken, but it was okay because Vick was coming back next year and we'll get another shot.
When that didn't happen, I was heartbroken, but it was okay because Frank and Bud are still here and the program is really rolling now.
We never did get back, but it was okay because we dominate the ACC now, and any day now fate will break in our favor.
Tyrod showed up and it felt like we were closer than we had been in years. And then Matt Ryan came to town with BC in '07. I was really wet, and really cold, but it was okay... we've still got a great roster and we still have Frank and Bud.
The years rolled on, and we never got back to where we were. Frank was starting to show his age, and it was clear that it was time for change. I was heartbroken but it was okay, we still have Bud.
2016 was a glimmer of hope after a difficult few years. Clemson still won in the end, but it was okay - we've got a new coach and we still have Bud.
2018 came and things under the new coach weren't looking so good, and at long last, Bud left. But it was okay, because .... I'm starting to run short on hope, but it was going to be okay, because this is Virginia Tech.
Then Pry came, and it felt like hope because of all the warm familiar feelings he brought of the old days and the old ways. The first season was really rough, but it was okay, because we gotta start somewhere to get back to the top.
Tonight, I think my well ran dry. It feels like a death that I'm grieving. I don't see a light at the end of the tunnel anymore. College football in the modern era feels like a big party is going on in every other house on the street, and I and the team I love simply are not invited. And to make the pain worse, it seems like some unexpected others are. Vanderbilt. Duke. JMU. Indiana. Opponents that (it feels like) not that long ago, would have been easy stepping stones on our schedule.
The podcasts, the media sphere around college football, social media, the national consciousness.... none of this stuff that existed when we were great. And they don't remember that we were great. We are less than irrelevant at this point. Only we remember it... those of us who were here for it. And the memory feels more and more distant by the year. I've forgotten what it feels like to win and be a winning program.
And tonight I think I let the last shred of hope that we would ever climb out this hole, slip away.
It's never gonna happen for us, is it?
The most terrible second half of football I've probably ever seen! Watching tech now makes me appreciate all those wins when I played. They out here giving out free money to lose like this!— Sergiorender70 (@sergiorender70) September 7, 2025
I would rather be them than us right now.
Silence, it's the reason myself and a lot of other Hokies have been disengaged this offseason and watched the game with... surprise? we got a first half lead. This coaching staff and admin have got to go, it's been inept and the effort, crowd reaction, and general fan reaction of the second half is damning. It's simply not worth the effort to be upset, it's become the routine for the past decade.

Time to clean house in Blacksburg. What an embarrassment.— Kyle Bailey (@KyleBaileyClub) September 7, 2025
Devastating.Good night friends.— Sons of Saturday Podcast (@SonsofSatVT) September 7, 2025
The worst sound in sports is silence. Silence is apathy, and apathy is fatal to an administration, team, program and everything you're trying to accomplish. https://t.co/RDeoSn3xKi— Chad Willis (@ChadWillis) September 7, 2025
Pulse check:
If Brent Pry is employed by the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University a week from now I will be beside myself.— Grayson Wimbish (@G_Wimb) September 7, 2025
Context matters.This is inexcusable. Can't happen.Losing by 20+ under the lights at home. It's yet another sad, embarrassing day in VT modern history. #Hokies— Matej Sis (@MatejS247) September 7, 2025
BIG changes. Immediately.— VT Barstool (@BarstoolVTech) September 7, 2025
I never seen a team get the slightest resistance and immediately start folding like VT over the last decade— Légend (@DonV757_) September 7, 2025
The Virginia Tech fanbase deserves better.#Hokies flush a 10-point lead at halftime down the drain and lose to Vanderbilt 44-20 in front of another sold-out Lane Stadium.Tech hasn't beaten a Power 4/5 non-conference opponent at home since 2009.— Ricky LaBlue (@RickyLaBlue) September 7, 2025
100%. Shane and SC are so overrated. They've got some talent at spots but they will be exposed as the SEC schedule starts. I'm just so done with the segment of our fan base who fawns for Shane. And he wants VT to think he was too good for us. He and his dad were complicit in our downfall and riding the whole program down, and are going to act like they're too good for us now. I'm over them TBH.
South Carolina is not a top 10 program. But the rest is sadly true.
Well hey that is about to be even better when there are significantly fewer people in the stadium going forward
Positive for the evening: lte in stadium is much better this year.
...I hope
Just wait til next week
Not gonna be good. We had 5.4M viewers for the opener against USCe. That ranked us highly. We're gonna come back down to earth now. Then drill into the interior of the earth and not be remembered. Winning teams get the viewers. We're going to lose a lot of money this year with the new model.
It was a fitting ending having Vanderbilt fans do the SEC chant in Lane. What a great way to end things.
On the bright side, I did get a chance to play my first round at The River Course before the game. That was fun for the both first and second halves.
