At Fancy Gap A&M, what matters is that you're nice and work sooooo hard.
BlackwaterHokie • 12/22/24 09:11 AM ET
Sounds promising**
sbarron • 12/22/24 11:28 AM ET
God forbid you should hurt someone’s feelings**

Anyone on hot seat? No. Do results matter? No.**

VT ChemE 1986 • 12/21/24 06:28 PM ET
Hurry? Admin would need years of declining revenue to get off their butts. **
40ozDistrict • 12/21/24 07:37 PM ET

I really can't think of another P4 school that has a more rudderless AD.
Gobbler Guru • 12/21/24 05:56 PM ET
how many other P4 schools do you actually pay attention to?**
ShockWaveVT • 12/21/24 06:06 PM ET
I don’t pay attention to any

His main skill is obliviously vomiting up word salad nonsense excuses. **

Nope...

When is the last time an AD was fired?**

GoldCoast • 12/21/24 10:40 PM ET
Here's the article from 2021 that talks about Babcock's extension.**
VTHokie2000 • 12/22/24 04:42 PM ET
2029 expires
RiverVT • 12/21/24 05:39 PM ET

Seems like everyone is fine with being the worst power conference team
Zanderhokie • 12/21/24 03:59 PM ET
