Realistic Expectations

What should our Realistic expectations be? Should we truly believe VT can win a national title?

Seems hard to believe a school wedged in between the blue ridge mountains in southwest va can contend with schools on south beach and LA. Should we simply be happy with 7-6 records mixed in with a few ACC titles? some say yes, I say no. Are we going to recruit like Alabama and FSU absolutely not. But last time I looked our recruiting class is ahead of Oregon who is playing Monday night for the title.

In 1999 we made it to the top of the mountain. We were that close. Could we do it again? I say yes. It may not be next year but we cannot lose the expectation of winning a title. If that expectation isn't there then why play the games? ACC titles are great don't get me wrong but that isn't the be all end all. It seems like things are starting to click in Blacksburg again, so I say why not us?

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
β€œI served in the United States Navy"
