I've been seeing stuff on Twitter about how excited they are to potentially play Duke again in the ACC championship game, but I've also seen reporters saying that could open up a path to the ACC being left out of the playoff. Idk if that's just if Duke were to win or because it's the 4 highest ranked conference champions and beating 7-5 Duke instead of SMU or Miami wouldn't be enough to rank them over any of the other conference champions.
Regardless, a donor cut a check and they spent the money well and struck gold, hat tip to them for that. FSU has proven that can work for one season, but is really hard to replicate over and over and their recruiting class is bad.
I don't think anyone needed additional proof. I will say that the university is taking on huge financial risk in the investment that was made. If this doesn't work, we're in deep shit. If it pays off, well...we'll all breathe easier. Time will tell. Give it 4 years and ask me again.
I want to see Drones NIL contract. Something strange is afoot
USC looks like they'll survive the scare. 21-10 with 3:30 left
With all due respect, I'm not worried about them
They're only good and relevant because we aren't. Now that we have Franklin, that changes. I don't give a shit how much they spend, we are spending, too, and our coaches can actually recruit and actually coach.

# | Virginia Tech at #17 Virginia Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread And at the time...31 of those were one play.
No matter who loluva plays next week, it will most likely be the lowest rated ACC Championship Game on record.
Actually it was 16-0.

Signing day is coming up and for the first time in a while I am stoked for it.
Let the JF rebuild begin!!!!
With their lawyers scum alums they can do both....and still fund all the non-revs. They just never cared enough. This year may have flipped that switch.

# | Virginia Tech at #17 Virginia Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread SMU is far from G5 compared to most in the ACC. They have piles of money and are spending it. They didnt even need ACC TV money just a ticket in the door.
Also a Cowboys fan.
And forego basketball?
Nah
With decent coaching and a good stable of starters, we could be in the ACC title game next year. This is a bad conference, if Franklin hits the portal hard, next year could be a lot of fun.
The James Franklin era has thankfully, officially begun
The problem is we just facilitated a potential disaster. UVA proved to their fanbase that if they fund football in this shit conference they can win. Will not be surprised to see them ready to spend $30-$35M in NIL next season especially if they make the CFP.
So fucking painful. All of it!
Now, we reset, rebuild and crush skulls.

# | Virginia Tech at #17 Virginia Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread Do not hold back rubbing it in his face next year
Makes me sick. But this was predictable. I thought 3 wins was about right for this team back in the summer. I hoped we could beat uva but they're having a magical year. They've beaten the easiest schedule in the conference with some of the luckiest luck I've ever seen. Their best season in 30 years coincides with our worst in 30 years. The entire rosters for both teams will be completely different next year and I belive the trajectories will be opposite as well.
I have faith that Franklin is going to maul the ACC. He'll build a 10 win roster over night. Provided he brings in competent coaching, I think we'll have the talent to win the ACC by 2027.
Not just the worst VT team I've had the displeasure of watching since I started at VT in 1997, but the dumbest. May we never speak of them again.
Onward to Glorious Franklin Era.

# | Virginia Tech at #17 Virginia Game Time, TV Info, and Open Thread But a G5 SMU playing in the Conf champ game again is equally embarrassing
I think most will recognize I have not been on the Franklin bandwagon, but I want to win (just not "at any cost" which is what may happen ... but I don't want to get into that here). I do want to caution everyone to not get ahead of ourselves. Franklin is indeed a flashy hire but remember unc's last two coaches were flashy hires who didn't produce consistently the greatest results on the field. Let's win on the field before we start crowing. GO HOKIES.
