I suppose meaning is something each of

assigns as we choose. You think tonight’s was meaningful. For what reason, I have no idea. I see these games as meaningless.

Boy, we sure are good at winning meaningless games
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:20 PM ET
Dude, it's Loserville. Not meaningless to us old farts **
HokiesACC2004 • 03/06/24 06:02 AM ET
Absolutely. Whipping Louisville is never meaningless
Zanderhokie • 03/06/24 10:13 AM ET
You can tell somebody wasn't a VT BB fan in the Metro days if they can't...
Gobbler-100 • 03/05/24 11:21 PM ET
Aaaaaaaaaaamen to that!

dubnic2roxy1 • 03/05/24 11:01 PM ET
it's better than losing meaningless games.**
squarerootofone • 03/05/24 10:47 PM ET
Winning an Away Conference game was very meaningful to me.
YBYSAIAHokie • 03/05/24 10:33 PM ET
That’s a good point. We’ve sucked soooo bad

I don't get it. Are you being sarcastic or are you intentionally being a **

He is a troll. Loves attention more than wins.**
Femoyer Hokie • 03/06/24 02:31 AM ET
Really really sad for you that you can’t enjoy a win, like Saban says, they

You’re like a southwest Virginia Confucius **

Glad I could help:**
Stech • 03/05/24 10:40 PM ET
Kept possible a bye, giving a better chance at winning the ACC tournament
RhinoVT • 03/05/24 10:20 PM ET
I love the desperate optimism of our fans. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:23 PM ET
Desperate optimism is the definition of being a fan. **
VT One • 03/06/24 06:21 AM ET
Isn’t that the definition of “fan”? Versus someone who just takes
RhinoVT • 03/05/24 10:28 PM ET
Yes., the former is a fan; the latter is a troll. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:32 PM ET
... which makes you a troll.
Will StewartAdmin • 03/05/24 10:44 PM ET
Thanks Will. That guy is the worst.**

Can you escalate it for the next offense? His schtick brings NOTHING to
HeisenBurg13 • 03/06/24 07:49 AM ET
Thank you
HokiesACC2004 • 03/06/24 06:02 AM ET
You're the best, Will!**

BOOM. Such panache. **

The 26 th toughest schedule...
HokiePail • 03/05/24 10:11 PM ET
Win a couple of games in the conference tournament...
Arch72Hokie • 03/05/24 10:17 PM ET
In the conversation for what, the NIT?**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:16 PM ET
Time to change your board name? : )**
techcabber • 03/05/24 09:51 PM ET
A good one****
Arch72Hokie • 03/05/24 10:12 PM ET
Not meaningless to the players**
Arch72Hokie • 03/05/24 10:15 PM ET
As it should be. Players should always compete.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:35 PM ET
Why?**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:53 PM ET
No Pride? No joy?**
techcabber • 03/05/24 09:55 PM ET
What makes you say that?
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:57 PM ET
You are probably...
Arch72Hokie • 03/05/24 10:20 PM ET
We’re not 1/3 of the way through the basketball season, friend.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:24 PM ET
Probably so. But that post didn’t show your true joyful self🤔**
BEST2VT • 03/05/24 09:59 PM ET
Would you consider it 'meaningless' if we lost this game?**
MidloHokie • 03/05/24 09:50 PM ET
Yes. Sucking early in the season
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:53 PM ET
Glad the 2022 didn't phone it in after a bad start in the league.**
MidloHokie • 03/05/24 09:57 PM ET
Of course.
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:03 PM ET
IMHO a .500 record in the league is an OK outcome . . .
MidloHokie • 03/06/24 07:07 AM ET
There is no such thing in VT athletics**
vtbroccoli • 03/05/24 09:49 PM ET
I suppose meaning is something each of ◄
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:56 PM ET
I am assuming that you didn't bother watching then
Rationalist • 03/05/24 10:09 PM ET
Well, I don’t consider sports fandom to be
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:22 PM ET
It must be both. A dullard with an empty life. 😂**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:15 PM ET
A win is a win and none are meaningless, imo. Many are more important
VT One • 03/05/24 09:37 PM ET
What meaning do you attach to the win?**
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:38 PM ET
We needed to win our last 3 to go to NIT. And we've won 2.**
nkhooch • 03/06/24 02:08 AM ET
Road win. One closer to the mythical 20 win mark. Never give up. **
VT One • 03/05/24 11:17 PM ET
Man are you good at wet blanketing. Nice Job!**
UTPr0sim • 03/05/24 09:29 PM ET
We all have different gifts. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:34 PM ET
Some you need to give back...**
UTPr0sim • 03/05/24 10:00 PM ET
That’s what I’m doing. I’m giving back to the TSL community. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:04 PM ET
Way to enjoy the win.**
Jackie VT • 03/05/24 09:28 PM ET
I don’t really celebrate mediocrity. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:35 PM ET
I don't know, you seem to pat yourself on the back quite frequently**
hokiehill1117 • 03/06/24 09:49 AM ET
So celebrating a win is celebrating…
Jackie VT • 03/05/24 09:39 PM ET
You don’t think a win can be mediocre?
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 09:44 PM ET
I enjoyed the win because I enjoy watching the Hokies win…
Jackie VT • 03/05/24 10:02 PM ET
Good for you! Truly. **
Pride_and_Joy • 03/05/24 10:05 PM ET
You are such a ray of sunshine. Go “cheer” for another team. **
