Nah it was a preseason game

Great podcast guys! By far the best VT podcast I've listened to. Thanks!

Glitter bomb or Tuba dogpile?

NC may be the 9th most populous state, but that belies the origins of many of those residents. I could be wrong, but having been born and raised there, and with many family still there, I believe much of the population growth over the last decade or more can be attributed to an influx of folks from other states. Hence no real attachment to a school like ECU. Although ECU has a great, loyal fan base, it falls well short of the likes of UNC and NC State. They also suffer from being one of six seven (forgot about Charlotte) FBS schools in the state.

Also, I haven't really paid much attention over the last 20 years, but when I was in HS ECU didn't have a very good academic reputation. It wasn't referred to as EZU for nothing. And it was often the fall back school for kids who didn't get into their 1st or 2nd choice, which was usually UNC or State. So assuming that their reputation hasn't improved markedly, that may have had an impact on the Big 12's decision.

Of course now that I've said that, they did let the Cousins in...

the florida people are saying we get to leave for Blacksburg a day earlier because no work tomorrow whoohooo!!!

I expect to hear Skipper go off so many times that they run out of ammo.

I want this and Liberty held to <150 yards of offense. A smothering D and an offense capable of scoring is what we've lacked in Blacksburg for the past few years. Obviously the W is what matters, but it would be nice!

There is no feel better, only Zuul!

One of these days they're going to use an Emme gif wrong and its going to be so sad

Ford and Bucky are pretty much guaranteed out. We'll be losing talent next year for sure.

I feel like people are being overly conservative this season. It's understandable due to what we've endure the past 4 seasons, but I don't see any reason why we shouldn't get less than 8 wins.

We have one of the best wide recievers in the game and our best running back since Wilson. Bucky is a star. Our OL is finally experienced (I hated hearing that as an excuse the past 4 years), we have a Sam Rodgers. Our WR core is decent and I refuse to believe Jerod can be that much worse than Brewer. No offense to Brewer but he was an average QB at best. Great, tough kid though. Jerod is much more talented and should be better at the job.

I get that we've had a coaching change but again, the pieces were always there, it's just that Loeffler could not use them.

I would honestly say the defensive side is more of a question mark but our defense wasn't that great by VT standards last year, I expect an improvement.

The only issue is a tougher schedule, but other than Tennessee and ND I would give a 50/50 split or better to VT. I expect improvements this year.

you did it again.

I keep saying 8-4 as well, with a floor of 6-6 I'd be okay with as long as we're competitive with Tenn and ND. But really I think we can win in Bristol, my hatred of Notre Dame goes so deep that I literally can't imagine a scenario where we lose to them, I think everyone is downplaying Pitt losing a generational talent at wide receiver, and Miami and UNC don't scare me too much. So in my heart of hearts, it's 10-2 (we'll end up dropping a couple no matter what...)
