As it should be. Players should always compete.

I’m just saying it is meaningless in terms of the ultimate outcomes of the season.

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...

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

Really really sad for you that you can’t enjoy a win, like Saban says, they

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.**

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. **
