I was waiting for that picture.
Sympathize with you all. Have completely lost my ability to hit long irons this year after having no issues in years past. Not getting the ball even close to the distance I was hitting my 5 and 6 irons last year and can't seem to figure out how to fix my swing to get back to that buttery 190-200 5 iron and have replaced it with a push/slice or weak shot about 160.
This is becoming more of a support group!
HokiesSports pre-camp roster update. We're still at 111 guys, I know the roster limits and house settlement stuff remains murky, but it will be interesting to see how the numbers work out between now and the start of the season.
Some simple analysis:
34 duplicate numbers 👀
8 running backs
202lb punter
Lost 1 LS and 1 kicker and gained 1 punter and 1 WR since my last roster update
I think your VT under the trash bucket is meant to be UVA, but also... yeah
I think this year's Miami could be last year's FSU. Mario's an idiot. Carson Beck is somewhere between streaky and hot garbage (If he didn't get injured, Kirby would've benched him the second half of that playoff game IMO).
I also think Norvell is a better coach than you give him credit for. They upgraded at both coordinator spots, QB, and Linebacker (their linebacker play last year was similar to ours). I see them winning 8-9.
Welcome back!
The thing that really stood out to me is Duke at #6. Good for them for making a good hire, for recruiting as well as they have, and for actually putting a watchable product on the field. My, how things have changed....
Two (arguably 3) hires in a row! (Diaz, Elko, Cutcliff)
What's interesting to me about this is how bucketed the schools are:
- Clemson far and away the favorite
- Miami and SMU both in the 2600s
- GT/UL in the 2300s
- Duke/FSU in the 1900s
- 8-12 (Syracuse, VT, NCst, Pitt, UNC) between 1300 and 1600
- 13-17 woof
If I were voting, I would bucket it like so:
Favorite: Clemson
- Best of the rest: GT/SMU/Duke - I see GT/SMU winning 10 and Duke winning 8
- Who tf knows: Miami, FSU, UNC, VT, NCst, Pitt, UNC, Syracuse - Between 4 and 9 wins.
- Trash: BC, VT, Cal, WF, Stanford - 6 wins is the ceiling
The Fiddler's Convention, Rhythm & Roots, the RSO, The Jefferson Center, the Moss Center, the Barter Theater, and Wohlfahrt House are plenty enough culture for me to not have to deal with the rest of what NOVA has to offer.
I'm back, FAM!
It's been a long year, and I've missed interacting with you all. Glad to be back.
It's difficult for me to see us ahead of any team "ranked" higher. Our roster is unproven in a number of spots. Where we do have proven players we've seen some inconsistency. The defense was a hot mess last year. Can it improve with a new coordinator? Does the offense take a significant step towards consistency with a new coordinator? And how do we play when facing an opponent with more talent (which will be many of our P5 games). Add to that, Coach Pry, as much as I love him, has not proven that he can get it done on gameday. Period. I honestly wouldn't care if we were ranked 3rd or 16th. It wouldn't matter to me. Just show us all something... anything.

Will let you know after this weekend. I have been too busy to do much.
Personally, I'm OK with the ranking. Historically VT is better when they are dogged in the rankings. There is literally no reason why the Hokies should get any hype after the dog shit pile of a season they had last year with the returning talent on the field. This year is going to have a big question mark looming over it due to the new coordinators/coaches, the major loss of talent, and the influx of portal talent. But relatively speaking, I haven't paid enough attention to the rest of the ACC's offseasons to have any legitimate opinion on the relative ranking. I just know, in my personal opinion, we're going to be a very underwhelming team this year until Pry finally proves us wrong.
GT is too low (if they stay healthy). I firmly believe that Key has them going in the right direction and last year wasn't a fluke, but the beginning of a trend. I'd have them 2nd.
Miami is only this high based on name and hype, as usual. That and the ACC being ass so someone should be at the 2 spot so give it to the name brand. How good are they going to be without Ward saving their asses in half their games? Beck is a huge downgrade.
FSU is too high. Don't see them improving without a regime change.
Spots 8-12 are basically toss-ups and right where VT belongs with all of the uncertainty coming into the year.
I could go along with someone justifying SyrupCubes being ranked higher. They looked to be righting the ship last year and gaining momentum. We'll see if it was a new coach bounce or the start of an upward trajectory.
maybe he wrote 11 really close together and the person reading it was squinting and saw 1
Someone who thinks very poorly of the ACC
This is all I could think of when I saw this. What do you get when you combine an Owl and a bungee cord?
I see 11th is as much a reflection of last year's let down in the same way UNC is slightly overrated because of Belichick
Locker room material. Fourth on that list, easy. Clemson, Miami, Louisville in front. SMU getting love for over performing last year. GT that high is wild. FSU should be good, but Castellanos is ass. UNC overrated because Belichick. Pitt and NC State over us is insulting
11th best team in the ACC...thanks, Whit!
Quite frankly, I'm surprised this wasn't done earlier, but I guess we wanted to make sure the last game we played there was an assbeating of ODU before we canceled.
Having the game delayed because our coaches were stuck in an elevator was comically high schoolish, but then having our lockerroom robbed because of their shit security detail was the like that should have immediately canceled it all. Don't care about the optics of cancelling after a loss, we should have never played there again. If you can't protect our players and staff, you aren't well enough equipped to host games at this level.
