Who's the first 5-star? Dfs?
No one mentioned RichRod
Yeah, but that's because we felt like it was manifest destiny to happen, and not something we had to continually strive to earn
Can someone just delete this now? This is stupid. Haha. Funny troll job, dude.
Can someone describe said list? I can't reach it from work.
...we've never really been reaching for a high bar...
We had an empty National Championship trophy case for two decades! ;^)
I think I speak for everybody here when I post this gif in response to this "Dream conference".
IDK in the south I think App State has more name recognition than BC or Syracuse.
They (and to a lesser extent, Marshall) have the name recognition as a lower-level school that occasionally punches above their weight. That is all.
I'm glad I read the two new comments on the other post. Otherwise, I'd have had a heart attack!
Love you bud, but when we talked about this, I said I was glad that the Commonwealth of Virginia doesn't allow betting on Virginia schools. I don't like having the temptation to bet against VT, because I just can't do it. I don't want any reason to root against the Hokies pulling the massive upset.
Dream conference:
VT
UVA
JMU
Liberty
ODU
W&M
Richmond
VMI
The ACC - All Commonwealth Conference. Easily attend all road games!
/s
I think it's fair that you're acknowledging the sarcasm. Is the board downvoting sarcasm now? If so, I'm fucked.
am I happy about it? No.
I don't like half the trash teams in the ACC and I don't like that we're stuck with them. But if we're going to be stuck with a bunch of garbage teams, it would be more fun for it to be more regional - I'd rather play Marshall and App State than BC and Cuse, given the choice.
Part of your point stands. Those teams aren't Bama or Michigan and they never will be (by the way, neither is VT). Would I rather play the best of the best? Yes. That's why I so desperately wanted VT to get into the SEC. But that seems incredibly unlikely at this point. I just don't see why you're getting bent out of shape at the prospect of us playing Marshall and App State in a hypothetical conference that will never, ever exist.
Since we're dealing with hypotheticals, why don't you join the fun instead of just trashing it. Instead of ridiculing the idea of playing lowly teams from the mountains, how about you put together your ideal conference for VT. What teams would you love VT to play regularly?
I said what I said, and meant it!
Change the DAMN Title. Moving On means something completely different then Moving UP!
@ joe - plz remove all his turkey legs
100% serious question. Has he been cleared to play by the NCAA clearinghouse? don't shoot me
Alum lol wtf...
There are countless examples right under our noses. VCU committed to actually being good in men's hoops. They made it to a final four and are consistently good and in the dance. JMU committed to going to FBS in football. They won national championships and now own the sunbelt in 5 mins. Coastal Carolina has committed to being good in baseball. Alabama was so pissed at going 9-3, they paid Saban more than any NFL coach to come rescue their program. VT refused to commit to Kenny Brooks. VT refused to give Mike Young any competitive NIL and instead hoped to catch a miracle in football by paying Ali Jennings. That's not commitment that's half cocked bullshit.
I never root against the Hokies. ever. If I lose money so be it... but why not cash in on us losing every single time at BC hoops? In vegas you dream of those locks.
