HOKIE HOOPS WIZ
| 1 year 8 months # | Hokies Womens Soccer: Virginia Tech beats Iowa in Sweet 16 ESPN+ 9pm

Last night the announcers said Raleigh. That said, the previous game they said the Hokies had moved to the Elite Eight when it was the Sweet 16. They looked like two College sophomores in the booth shots they showed.

Will update as I see an official post.

No, no, a thousand times NO. It will never be better to lose to UVA. Some of us have to live in the same state as those entitled assholes, and we definitely do not deserve their gloating and crowing for an entire year.

Pry has honestly done pretty well in the portal. Tuten, APR, Peebles. Jennings was a bit of a whiff-ish but I think that's in large part from his injury.

| 1 year 8 months # | OT: Summer Fishing Thread

The reds have become extremely rare here the past few weeks, leaving us with some schoolie sized stripers as about all there is to go after. I've caught my share of stripers and don't really care that much to fish for them this time of year unless they gang up as they prepare to exit the Bay and that's been slim pickin's the past few years. I basically refuse to troll for them like most around here do though I'll drag a jig as I move from one pod to another if they're schooled up well. Our reds and trout are mostly headed for the 757 and on down to NC for the winter. About the only time I miss living in the mountains is the availability of winter fishing. Smallmouth, walleyes and trout are pretty much available year 'round and they aren't to be found around here.

i had a whole rant typed up but it was all over the place and I decided to start fresh. In summary:

  • the state of college football, for a fan of a non blue-blood school, sucks and we're never going to get back anything that resembles what it used to be. Too many to thank for this one, but a special shout-out to ESPN and the NCAA for two very different reasons.
  • we all need to treat ourselves like we're part of the ownership group, and if we, personally, are not investing in the program or NIL then we have ZERO room to complain about on-field performance in any sport
  • assume every season is going to be completely different - there is no more continuity of players, no more 4-year development, but that also means key pickups in any given year can take you from a .500 team to one thats in the playoffs (and vice versa)

Remember how demand Jimbo was of the FSU administration? It will be the same thing at WVU. I'd be shocked to see him go there.

2025 VT could face challenges similar to Florida State this year. A significant portion of our starters will need to be replaced, either internally or through the transfer portal, and retaining our top players with eligibility remaining will be tough.

If Coach Pry doesn't deliver a transformative offseason in the portal, the program could be in serious trouble. Honestly, part of me feels it might be better to lose to UVa next week. Skipping a bowl game could allow the coaching staff to focus entirely on rebuilding through the portal for 2025.
