Does UVa have a lot of their team back next year? I don't have any idea.
In fairness, I don't think that what they are saying is off base. The incoming class won't be playing much. We have a new system being installed. While I do think the foundation in being laid to pound them into the ground, I can totally see (hope it won't happen, but can totally see) them beating us next year. By 2027 season, I'd hope we would be established and well ahead to have another big, long winning streak. We can win in 2026, but I see it as a toss-up or even slight UVa advantage if they have a lot of their players coming back.
Always a glutton for schadenfreude, I checked in at le sabre for a few minutes this morning to see if it bothered them over there. Seems not. They are confident that their team of other school's starters and their returning players will outperform our future freshmen and unproven transfers, and that they have the money to keep it going, and they definitely love Elliot. They're convinced we won't be a problem for them next year, figuring Franklin's targeting '27 as our "arrival", and they may be right there, but we'll see.
"Trust me when I say this, playing WR at UVA was the low-light of my life and being at VT is the highlight"
One I listen to from time to time is The Connect with Johnny Mitchell, it's basically all about the drug scene, I'm kind of obsessed with the cartel history.
Anyway he had on a guest named Luis Navia who was a logistics chief for the Medellín Cartel. Fast forward to him getting out of jail he started a glass shower and railing company in South Florida
This cat was my glass railing subcontractor for a couple of high end retail shops I did down there in the mid 2000s and 20 years later I find out the guys story. Only in South Florida.
Beautiful to see Mines flip a guy from UVA to VT, I gotta say
Love to see that, straightening out those kids in VA. Friends don't let friends play football at uva.
And so it's the Canadians....
Both WVU men's and women's teams are doing well in both the portal and HS recruiting while we slip further and further behind. Currently the mens' portal class is ranked First in the Big !2 and the high school class is ranked 23 nationally including the #14 overall player/#3 point guard in the class.
Seems a good kid too. Am informed of some stuff but I don't want to post online.
Pre xfer craziness, I think you need 6 4* a year at VT to have a really good class, you have to hit on 4 of those 6 though. Meaningful playing time 2 years in and starter for atleast 1 year. A 4* at every level of D each year and 3 on offense with needed a 4* QB to start.
We were arguably q DB away from this even with more than 6 4* this year, if we can do that again but with some DBs then we are doing everything right
Surely he's better than _that_.
Hokies lose 9-4
It was Peyton Smith according to Dylan Tefft on Twitter. Apparently he wasnt the guy heckling at the time. Hokies were arguing ump threw out wrong player along with his calls.
I don't recall who but the broadcast duo said it was one of our pitchers who was not in the game.
Hokies trail 9-3. Umpires tossed someone from Hokies dugout as Hokies have hounded the home plate umpire about his strike zone all day. Guys calls have been really inconsistent.

Hokies get a first round bye and will play Thursday, May 7 at 7:30pm against the winner of #6 uva and #11 pitt. All games on ACCN.
...and it happened. Softball America dropped Hokies a spot after a 36-4 sweep of Syracuse while 13 of the teams ahead of them lost games this week and three teams lost TWO games. Texas is now 30-19 and still Top 10 while Hokies are 44-9 and 18th.
