Thanks JMU **
HokiesACC2004 • 02/24/26 06:00 AM ET
Until the locals are purged
ftsumterhokie • 02/23/26 03:46 PM ET
How are they doing reviews if there is no TV?
AnotherTechW • 02/23/26 09:30 AM ET
That's what I was wondering.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/23/26 02:53 PM ET
In English, there are mounted cameras on the

La Gargola • 02/23/26 08:59 PM ET
In softball, South Carolina, Georgia, and Charlotte all had similar reviews
VTChip • 02/23/26 06:15 PM ET
I blame tWhit Babcock - must be his decision to try to put butts in seats
U2Hokie • 02/23/26 09:04 AM ET
The non-conference baseball games are free.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/23/26 02:56 PM ET
It’s just crazy bull****e!**
U2Hokie • 02/23/26 06:29 PM ET
$15 beers they have to make some money lol **
AnotherTechW • 02/23/26 03:03 PM ET
Lol, yeah. I like beer, but not that much.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/23/26 03:39 PM ET
$15 beers piss me off to no end.
Brewing_Hokie • 02/23/26 07:02 PM ET
Become a 12 Stepper - That will cure your anxiety**
N2VT2 • 02/24/26 07:11 PM ET
There is no beer in existence that's worth $15 each.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/23/26 07:39 PM ET
if served by Sidney Sweeney - yes. Yes there is. **
3TechFanz • 02/25/26 12:17 PM ET
Nah there are some **
Brewing_Hokie • 02/23/26 08:45 PM ET
For sure, I'd pay $15 for a Treehouse IPA, no doubt!**

astrohokie • 02/24/26 12:04 PM ET
I stand by my statement. You may be right for a beer connoisseur though.**

Utopias... Pliny the Younger...maybe 2 cans of Heady Topper...**

Yikes!**
astrohokie • 02/23/26 03:18 PM ET
I love it, if the bathorooms are not clean, Whit ies expected to clean them
1947Sunbowl • 02/23/26 01:42 PM ET
That's a great red herring you tossed out there.
Atlee Hokie • 02/23/26 07:37 PM ET
SMH mercury…**
Brewing_Hokie • 02/23/26 07:04 PM ET
The baseball staff has absolutely made it clear that they don't like it.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/23/26 02:59 PM ET
Whit is simply a poor ass AD just collecting a paycheck.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/23/26 09:31 PM ET
Chris, this sentence of yours says it all:

Ridiculous post....and massively ill informed. Baseball "management" has

astrohokiebob • 02/23/26 05:19 PM ET
Consider the source.**
Nortazhokie • 02/23/26 03:07 PM ET
Wow '47 (aka Babs Brother) - we got 3.5 million from Union Bank to add
U2Hokie • 02/23/26 02:36 PM ET
I believe Weaver hired Pat Mason. **

Nortazhokie • 02/23/26 08:07 PM ET
I think you are correct.......
2hhoop3 • 02/23/26 07:58 PM ET
Yeah, at least last year they had one camera (albeit down the RF line), but
Nortazhokie • 02/23/26 07:53 AM ET
Your contention is correct...and the explanation is they don't want to move
VTScoop • 02/23/26 09:34 AM ET
Moved...
U2Hokie • 02/23/26 02:34 PM ET
That's just plain laziness. Like an STD, the AthDept leadership is
saret • 02/23/26 12:51 PM ET
Thanks @VTScoop. Who is "they" in this case? Is it Babcock directly...
QCP • 02/23/26 12:28 PM ET
Well, it would be best to reach out directly to Brad Wurthman since
VTScoop • 02/23/26 01:52 PM ET
Good advice for @QCP , Scoop. Brad almost always responds.**
saret • 02/23/26 03:09 PM ET
Very helpful! Just sent an email to Brad. Will see if I get any response.**
QCP • 02/23/26 02:19 PM ET
Please let us know what he says (if anything). I emailed them early last
Nortazhokie • 02/23/26 02:20 PM ET
Well, I got an out of office response so bad timing on that, but it did...
QCP • 02/23/26 02:27 PM ET
I researched the ACC numbers so far, as of this weekend...

That needs to be in @QCP email.....LOL. Actually seriously, it
VTScoop • 02/23/26 02:48 PM ET
Your last two sentences......
2hhoop3 • 02/23/26 02:01 PM ET
My hope is that if an email is sent directly to WB in the future is that it
laphroaig • 02/23/26 12:56 PM ET
Actually, laphroaig, that already happens. Any email sent to Whit

Wow. Unreal. **
HOKIE MAGIC • 02/23/26 11:11 AM ET
how much is a friggin camera? in the grand scheme of things
3TechFanz • 02/23/26 11:08 AM ET
Much appreciated reply Scoop. Very disappointing.**
Nortazhokie • 02/23/26 09:55 AM ET
Feels like a slap in the face to fans.
AnotherTechW • 02/23/26 09:39 AM ET
Slap in the face to the coaches and players, too.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 02/23/26 10:02 AM ET
Lack of oversight and accountability? Sounds familiar in this modern world!**
MDHokie79 • 02/24/26 11:19 AM ET
Absolutely terrible **
La Gargola • 02/23/26 09:24 PM ET
But, but but, Whit is doing a great job now.
Atlee Hokie • 02/23/26 01:35 PM ET
Nothing is trivial. It all gets noticed and points to a culture the AD has
HokiePWC • 02/23/26 10:41 AM ET
yep, if you can't do the small stuff - how can you do the "big" stuff.**
3TechFanz • 02/23/26 11:09 AM ET
I would suggest people review the list of AthDept personnel on
saret • 02/23/26 10:33 AM ET
Do they still allow "work at home"? Maybe somebody needs to get a search
laphroaig • 02/23/26 01:03 PM ET
I don't remote work is the issue here. People can (and do) not work when in
AbsolutVT03 • 02/23/26 03:47 PM ET
But Whit knew Franklin's agent... So Whit gets a lifetime appointment! :(**
NokieHokie • 02/23/26 10:04 AM ET
