I only hope that we win our bowl game. I really don't want to end the season with a losing record.
Yes.
But this team seems to have the most potential out of any recent team we've sent onto the court in the last few years. Maybe it's because of our fast start (I know, sub-standard competition) but I believe we have a realistic shot of reaching the tournament. As everyone is saying, the ACC is kinda having a recent downturn in basketball, so maybe we take advantage of it? It's not entirely implausible, guys.
Maybe it's just my heart yearning for Hokie Sports to do something of relevance this year since the football team flopped on us, but I believe that we make something out of Green's last season.
Even if we miss the dance this year, I hope that the team shows potential and a fun style so we can sign some big time players in the coming years. Almost anything will be better than weaving around the perimeter until it's time to hoist up a bad shot (props to Greenberg for elevating the program).
Before tonight I haven't been able to watch a game so thanks for spending the time to do these reviews/previews.
We're going to get crushed on the glass.
Wrapped him up and put him on the ground, but I feel like he went too high. Also, Bud needs to check his chin strap before the snap, we need him on the field at all times.
I still like the one from a few years ago when he ran all the way down the sideline while fist pumping.
now THAT is a happy dance.
Well I guess if we can't beat them, we'll steal their traditions....
Oh UVA.
East Carolina also going to the Big East I bet.
If we make the NIT, meaning we had a better season than last year, I will be pleasantly surprised.
7 wins may be a high bar for VT in the ACC. Somewhere between 4 and 7 is my guess.
I also think we will be 5-3 ten days from now.
I heard this the other day too (Navy that is).
Navy in football-only, Notre Dame in all other sports ...
Fuck this

...its a logical argument against GT, that there is some team like Central Michigan that would get a shot if GT doesn't.
The argument for GT is Miami and UNC's ineligibility. GT "earned" their bowl bid by winning 6 of their 12 games and would not "have" to play in the ACC-CG if UNC and Miami weren't cheaters. Its not GT's "fault" that they are going to go 6-7, they've got 6-6 in the bag right now!
So it will be interesting to see how that comes down. I would argue that the NCAA's summer prioritization of 6-6 teams did not consider the unique circumstance where GT was thrust into a division title game that they didn't effectively "earn."
Either way, win/win for us. If GT gets in, we get more bowl money to split up. If GT doesn't get in, we'll likely be in the Sun Bowl.
What if GT doesn't get in, OU loses and Clemson gets in the BCS? VT/NCSU/Duke need to split up the CFA/Russell/Sun I guess. Either way, keep us out of any bowl against a Big East team, please.
...assuming Kent State either doesn't win or doesn't jump UCLA to get to 16.
If Kent State isn't in.....and....
If Oklahoma loses to TCU.....then....
Clemson is a likely BCS team and VT is likely headed to Atlanta.
Should have signed it as 'A member of Hokie Nation' as I began the letter, but regardless, how I signed it wasn't the point of this when I wrote it.
Does this make Clemson a possible BCS selection? If so, we may rise to the CFA in Atlanta.
All the schools that are mentioned in ACC expansion are not teams that bring a whole lot to the table. Louisville and UConn at least bring a viable basketball programs, but Navy? Come on.......this is not a positive thing.
THE ICEMAN
starts putting up solid numbers and especially if he has a few dunks every now and then, can we please start calling him "The Flying Dutchman"?
:(
Navy???
I met/spoke to Bruce Smith at Big Als Friday night and he hinted that change was coming and expressed his want for change. He had Beamer's back, but made it clear some changes need to be made on the offensive side. If Bruce wants it, it should happen.
When is the selection show? It's the sunday after the conference championships right? This weekend?
