Buy or Sell Hokie Stone
In this season's "Buy or Sell," you can now compete against other Tech Sideline fans and Reach for Excellence! (Jon Fleming)

It's a new era in Buy or Sell here at Tech Sideline. For the first time ever, you'll be able to make your own weekly picks and compete against other Tech Sideline fans all season long!

We'll tally everyone's picks throughout the season, and we'll keep a running leaderboard so you can see where you rank. At the end of the season, the winner (or winners ... we could have multiple people tied at the top) will win a prize! We'll decide the prize later, but we're thinking a lifetime subscription or some free TSL gear emblazoned with "2026 Buy or Sell Champion." (Well, we're committed now, aren't we?)

Buy or Sell is presented each week by Anneliese Stewart of REMAX 8 in Blacksburg. If you're looking to buy, sell, or invest in real estate, contact Anneliese today!

How "Buy or Sell" Works

  • You don't have to be a paid subscriber to play, but you do have to be registered and logged in to the site. To register, click "Sign Up" in the header of the site.
  • Each week. we'll post five Buy or Sell lines. If you agree with the line, vote Buy. If you disagree, vote Sell.
  • Submit your picks. You can change them and resubmit right up until the weekly picks lock closed.
  • To be eligible for the rankings and the prize, you must submit a pick for 80 percent of the lines posted (an average of 4 out of the 5 weekly lines).

That's it! Let's get to Week 1's picks: 2026 season predictions. These picks, of course, won't be tallied until season's end. Every other week will be tallied after that week's game is played.
