Why were they picked 17 out of 18 in the Big 10 then? I realize we will

Have growing pains. But suddenly it’s ok to lose when the line says so? Instead of asking why are we such an underdog? It was hard to watch. I just hope there are some growing pains. But I feel there are some glaring weak spots not likely to improve much. His fault or not I feel MYs seat will get hot enough to pop popcorn this year.

Well, my expectations for this team has just plummeted.
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/15/24 10:01 PM ET
for sure, this is a really bad team, like early 90's bad**
furnulator • 11/16/24 05:31 AM ET
You had higher expectations after watching the first 3 games??**
hokiepro • 11/16/24 05:28 AM ET
Yes. We won all three and beat the point spread on all three.
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/16/24 10:35 AM ET
Three cupcakes**
JackDSML • 11/16/24 05:59 PM ET
I saw us score 2 pts in 8 min vs USCU; without a FG for 7:00 vs Del St
hokiepro • 11/16/24 10:59 AM ET
Sure you could, bro. You love to cherry-pick your stats, don't you.
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/16/24 11:30 AM ET
Ok sure. It bodes well when you cannot put the ball in the basket for almos
hokiepro • 11/16/24 11:35 AM ET
This team was never better than 13-15 wins on the year, you pick em
soflahokie • 11/16/24 01:35 AM ET
I hope I’m wrong but I think we’ll win maybe 5-6 ACC games, we’re a low G5**
ombandit • 11/15/24 10:43 PM ET
I think we will struggle to win 10 overall; I don’t see more than 7 overall
hokiepro • 11/16/24 11:42 AM ET
I was trying to be a little bit “glass half full” there 😂**
ombandit • 11/16/24 12:49 PM ET
I hope you're right tbh. I would take 5-6 ACC wins no questions asked**
Gobbler-100 • 11/15/24 10:53 PM ET
Such lofty goals… 😂🤣**
ombandit • 11/16/24 07:02 AM ET
If your expectations were over 0.500 they were out of whack**
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/15/24 10:19 PM ET
Thank you sir. May I have another? **
YBYSAIAHokie • 11/15/24 10:49 PM ET
Its November. They will be in Jan.**

This is a talented "team". If this TO problem isn't corrected soon, the

Hit the live stats link at the top of the board
Will StewartAdmin • 11/15/24 10:31 PM ET
Thank you, sir!! Says pretty much everything about tonight's game.**
ancient alien 2018 • 11/15/24 10:35 PM ET
A Lot. It was the difference in the game**
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/15/24 10:19 PM ET
Yeah. Digging into the stats. It was more equal than I expected
HokieAl • 11/15/24 10:33 PM ET
Absolutely.**
ancient alien 2018 • 11/15/24 10:28 PM ET
And they were a very bad matchup for this inexperienced team. I believe if
UTPr0sim • 11/15/24 10:13 PM ET
True. I picked 81-68 PSU for 'Streets pick-em. As I said above, no team
ancient alien 2018 • 11/15/24 10:21 PM ET
Really? I would be surprised if this team is better than .500, so…
BeachGobbler • 11/15/24 10:05 PM ET
Blame Whit. Can’t believe we let Pedulla leave and not pay him. Basketball
TboneParkerVT • 11/15/24 10:14 PM ET
That line was ridiculous. This VT team is right where I expected it to be

Our most talented players are Freshmen and a raw freak athlete transfer
hokiepro • 11/16/24 11:45 AM ET
And SCAR was picked bottom of the SEC last year, nobody has a clue

He doesn't care. He and his wife are multi-millionaires. He can go to the

Preseason predictions are a waste of time.
NC Hoke • 11/15/24 10:24 PM ET
Another ridiculously bad preseason prediction. They’re a very good team
Zanderhokie • 11/15/24 10:19 PM ET
They will!! Getting the TO'S cut in half will go a long way towards
ancient alien 2018 • 11/15/24 10:38 PM ET
I got our point total right, but didn’t expect us to give 21 TO’s**
VT ChemE 1986 • 11/15/24 10:12 PM ET
24 turnovers. Yikes. **
Zanderhokie • 11/15/24 10:15 PM ET
Agreed on both counts
