I was wondering where TJ and Sasso were the other night
Sam Fisher did not look ready at all and Andy Smith had kind of a low ceiling

It’s becoming a real possibility
This season reminds me of when Hooker came in to save the season. Just substitute him with Drones

The AD has to put the money in the correct places tho
When we donate and it ends up going to nonrevs instead of football it’s counterproductive

I’d simply tell them that’s how the real world works
When you don’t perform, even to the best of your ability whatever that may be, then you have to take the criticism that comes from it and do better. Can’t shelter everyone. There’s no safe space on the football field

Need at least 2 OL
Clements and Schick are arguably 2 of the worst to ever start on a VT OL since the forward pass was invented

New media rights partnership with Play Fly Sports
Learfield it out. They also included naming rights for the stadiums. Could bring in some big money for the Athletic Department

That and there was some drama
They were supposed to have a zoom call and Grimes and his handlers pretty much ghosted the staff leaving them hanging. They were playing games the whole time

Was also told something interesting
NIL is now impacting the RTC’s around the country. Hope there’s a way to sustain the SERTC as well

Word is we are recruiting Dom Bambinelli hard
From Mill Creek, Ga. Hokies are very much in play for him

Not sure we have the horses
FSU is just playing a different level of ball than us right now. Yes the BC game was their let down game of the year. Clemson is pretty good as we saw yesterday. They are also coming off a bye and are at home. Think we just get outclassed. Just wanna keep it close and have a good showing. I’ll call that a success

Drones took control of the team tonight
He really imposed his will and put the team on his back. That’s the leader we have been needing

Just saw the funniest thing on ACCn
A tech fan was holding up a shirt that said “John Ballein needs to go”

No chance we would select Whit if it was today
Football had never been successful under him anywhere he’s been

If you read the body of the most in mentions in 2-3 more years
So that’s the 5 year mark I’m referring to

If football doesn’t make a drastic turn around should Whit be fired?
Talkin over the next 3 seasons or so. Seems like without a solid football program, everything else is unsustainable

He oversaw the hires. Falls on him
Ballein is basically the head man for football under Whit, unfortunately. Wish he would do the noble thing and retire but he’s not man enough

I agree. We absolutely have to get rid of him
John Ballein has helped ruin VT football. He still thinks it’s the 80’s. The sooner he goes, the better

They’ve still been putting up a bajillion points
Milton is def a drop off and they lost some really good OL to the draft. Apples to Oranges. They beat UVA by over 30 in week one

Bc teams like Duke used the portal well and we didn’t
Instead of getting a 3rd string OL they got actual starters

Football is the cash cow
Outside of women’s basketball everything stunk last year. Unless he can get this $400m initiative off the ground, I don’t think he will ever get the facility upgrades done. Falling further and further behind every year. Whit’s gunna have to live in his second home in Blacksburg for a while to hide

Shane has been doing a pretty good job so far
That South Carolina job is a hard one, toughest division in the toughest conference in college football. He’s building a name and experience

Shane replacing Pry and getting a football AD with it sounds perfect
That could just be the big hire to save football

Crazy what happens when you get a new AD that cares about football
Everyone but us, sigh, everyone but us

Fire Stu Holt, Tyler Bowen and Chris Marve
Then hire coordinators with real experience in that position. That’s why Duke is doing so well, Elko hired the right people around him. We are paying more than the last staff, there’s no excuse

The play design is horrible
There’s zero creativity, way too easy to cover the pass plays. Can’t run block, and something is severely wrong to where where can’t prevent long runs.
