Perception is reality. EVERYONE has this point locked and loaded re Foster. As VT fans we dismiss it. And that only fuels the fire for everyone else.

Worst part is the problem only applies up front. TG puts kids in the League like it's his job.

100% agree that it does fall to the coaching staff, but when you look down the bench what do you see? I see projects, injuries and somewhat of a lack of talent. It will take time and we are on the correct path, but you can only do so much with what you have. It's not like we are loaded with McDonald All-Americans, but we will get there. Personally I am pleased with this season, the quick start probably gave us a little false hope of where we really are at. But I'm OK with. that too.

kinda OT, but I know from experience (and im sure a lot of you can attest to this) that whenever I got a ticket for South Endzone, I just got a copy of West or North ticket from somebody already sitting there, and squeezed into that section.

Attendance has been down due to lack of winning and is a result for the upper part of South endzone being empty sometimes, but its also the students just moving to a different section

Great quote from Bud, via Andy Bitter:

Foster on Beckett: "He likes to rip people's faces off. We kind of like that about him. He's got an attitude."

For me money needs to be spent on, in no particular order : updating Merryman FULLY, changing (edit)North end zone to permanent structure, updating Lane stadium facilities bathrooms/snack bars etc, updating Casell, team tractor trailer and team branded buses, hiring more staffers to get better at social media, media in general, better live stream etc, anything else that coach Fuente and Buzz feel would help their teams.

I would say winning is most, if not all, everything.

At the end of the day, VT football is a product. People want to pay for a good product on the field. Good/Improving product = more butts in the seats. More butts in the seats = more revenue for VT department. More money for VT Department = Better facilities/coaches which usually results better recruiting.

Bronco's got a sense of humor, anyway.

Then again, we knew that when he took the job.

"We are actually in good shape with Laborn."

Must not have a twin brother.

Not calling bullshit on your assessment. Just saying it's a loooooong time to NSD17

"Look at our pic stitch of all our players who have held the cup since 2004."

Yeah. But I would argue that you have to win to get an uptick in donations. So wins matter a pretty good deal if you consider that they are tied directly to donations.

I honestly think that Momma Bailey had the final say and put her foot down at the last minute. All of these NLI have to be signed by the parent too.

If that's the case, we should be more upset with Momma Bailey for not informing the coaches that she wants her sons to play together and that would be her deciding factor.

VT = the popular hot chick that the parents don't approve of
Iowa St. = the nice girl next door whose parents go to church with your parents. (and happens to have a sister for your brother).

It's kind of hard to send your NLI if your parents are unwilling to sign it.

We will probably never know exactly what the thought process was, but if this is the case, I can't see how his parents were okay with his decision to go to VT until suddenly the last minute before signing this morning. He seemed all about VT leading up to today, which would imply that his parents were also supportive of that decision (obviously with all the VT swag as you mention). What suddenly changed to make his parents not onboard with VT right before signing, if we are operating under this theory?

Just an insanely frustrating situation all around. But it's best to just move on.
