This will be interesting.

4...I'm pretty convinced the crowd at the end of the trailer is from Lane Stadium

and then you factor in that that brand new OL might wind up being the strength of the offense, simply by virtue of not being turnstiles.

Unless Drones takes the step forward we were all hoping he'd take a year ago, it could be another vintage Virginia Tech offense.

I think we could sit here and hem and haw on this one

on the plus side, Monty has a track record and it's only asking for a ~15% improvement in output

on the other hand, we have a completely new OL and lost our best player to the NFL

All things equal, do we think Monty could squeeze another 57 yards out of the same exact players against the same exact competition? Maybe?

But the reality is he has to do it without Tuten, and with a completely new OL that hasn't played together yet. Drones will need to improve pretty drastically just to maintain the type of production we saw in 2024. Can he connect the dots under Monty? Maybe?

I really think there are too many unknowns. I'm on board with looking at the coaching changes as potential upgrades (granted, the previous coaches weren't hard to upgrade from) and taking a #glasshalffull view from that perspective. However, the reality is they are facing an uphill battle with a turned over roster.

I guess the good news is our schedule might actually be easier this year. In non-con we swap Marshall and Rutgers for SCAR and Wofford - probably about a wash there. In the ACC we swap Stanford(16), BC(9), Cuse(4), Clemson(2) and Duke(7) for NC State(10), Wake(15), Cal(14), Lville(5), and FSU(17). (2024 final standings in ()) so our 2025 schedule looks...easier?

None of that matters. Ice cream takes the cake. Takes the pie too. It elevates everything!

Well, maybe not mayonnaise, but that is mayonnaise dragging down the ice cream and not the other way around.

When rappers and young african americans stop using it literally every other word, then i'll be outraged. Not a second before that. And no, I don't use it, nor do I distinguish between the bottom of society logic of "soft A".. We walked on the moon, yet in 2025 we justify the use and context of this word. We have regressed. a ton.

While I agree with you, one could make the argument (I would not) that Monty, Sief, and the new strength team will help this team improve despite the talent dropoff.

I just don't see how any rational fan (is that an oxymoron?) can expect this team to win >7 regular season games

It's gotta be 7-6 with 7 regular season wins and a top 30 high school recruiting class and a proven QB coming in to replace Drones (or Drones returning after a great season, but I feel like that's unlikely).

Regardless, I don't think 7 wins in a vacuum cuts it. We'll see.

This week's TV Guide has us picked as the most likely team to argue over mayonnaise brands with their diabetic dad. Good article on the superiority of cake over pie in that issue as well.

Same, it just seems like the assumption that we will be bak Making the Leap got kicked down the road a year from last year.

Anything is possible, but I too would be surprised if the 2025 Hokies do one single thing on this list.

and ACC advancing 5 of the 9 teams that were sent, with each of the 5 teams that advanced had an SEC team on the regional.

No ACC/SEC super regional matchups. The earliest chance we have to see that would be in Omaha with UNC facing Auburn, if they advance.
