I know this has been the sentiment to the point it’s accepted as fact. But,

What about cam ward in different systems having success, sheduer sanders, Jalen hurts, Diego Pavia, chambliss from ole miss are all examples of players doing well with different coaches and in different levels of play. Would Tranquill have ruined a Ben Rothlisberger (in a hypothetical transfer out of Miami of Ohio)? What about Byron Leftwich? Is it possible Maurice DeShazo was no good for any other reason? Just for an academic review against the accepted facts?

Agree cannot boo the player!
RiverVT • 02/01/26 08:31 AM ET
I understand people get frustrated but booing players is not helping.**
HokiesACC2004 • 02/01/26 07:40 PM ET
I don’t think booing is warranted, but also it’s excusable for pros
soflahokie • 02/01/26 02:00 PM ET
I think booing is now on the table due to millionaire players.
proudhokie2001 • 02/01/26 12:05 PM ET
No. Still a jerk move.**
WestEndHokie39 • 02/01/26 12:26 PM ET
So no booing refs either, right?**
HokieGator • 02/01/26 01:27 PM ET
We should boo the mascots instead. Lol**
Windows NT • 02/01/26 05:18 PM ET
We do. And get deserve it. Just like the cheerleaders that wave their flags

CPVT3 • 02/01/26 09:17 AM ET
I posted about this and used the term “allegedly”. Some probably did but it
RhinoVT • 02/01/26 09:13 AM ET
Wasn't that his [ex?]GF?**
TomTurkey • 02/01/26 11:48 AM ET
Regarding Maurice DeShazo...
Will StewartAdmin • 02/01/26 10:04 AM ET
Tranquil the tranquilizer ... it was horrendous play calling **
HokieGT • 02/01/26 02:15 PM ET
Tranquill ruined DeShazo's senior year.**

Maurice was a Fran Tarkenton, not a Johnny Unitas
TomTurkey • 02/01/26 12:23 PM ET
I remember cheering when we threw a long, incomplete pass. **
RhinoVT • 02/01/26 10:39 AM ET
EXACTLY. I remember that like yesterday.
Will StewartAdmin • 02/01/26 11:31 AM ET
Treg Koel...the OG Grant Noel?**
MP4VT2004 • 02/02/26 07:11 PM ET
Thank heaven I have no recollection
TomTurkey • 02/01/26 11:43 AM ET
Relax. I was at the game, this is way overblown.
Apex-Hokie • 02/01/26 08:34 AM ET
Everyone around me was B and M about it - I wasn’t around students **
AnotherTechW • 02/01/26 09:43 AM ET
I know like what do people want us to do about it lol I didn't boo**
CPVT3 • 02/01/26 09:08 AM ET
Not defend it is a pretty low bar to meet...but alas**
GCHokie34 • 02/01/26 09:50 AM ET
Are the students on this message board defending it?**
GCHokie34 • 02/01/26 08:39 AM ET
I’ll defend it
s11rww • 02/01/26 10:38 AM ET
Could you at least get his photo out of your profile if that's your take?
I love VT! • 02/02/26 11:18 PM ET
How did I kick him when he was down?
s11rww • 02/03/26 10:44 AM ET
And the1st Annual VT Achievement in Bloviating Award goes to...
hok1eboy • 02/01/26 08:11 PM ET
There is zero "higher intelligence" in booing anyone lol**
GCHokie34 • 02/01/26 11:56 AM ET
Sure there is
s11rww • 02/01/26 12:34 PM ET
I have zero issue stating flatly I'm better than anyone who boos teens**
GCHokie34 • 02/01/26 01:50 PM ET
Make sure to check your mailbox tomorrow
s11rww • 02/01/26 02:21 PM ET
Sick burn...
GCHokie34 • 02/01/26 02:45 PM ET
Fair enough
s11rww • 02/01/26 02:59 PM ET
Yep. If everyone completely checked out like I have...
MP4VT2004 • 02/02/26 07:15 PM ET
Id have the same opinion if college sports operated completely non profit
GCHokie34 • 02/01/26 03:06 PM ET
Quick way to lose a debate. Maybe "logic" but "higher intelligence"? **
TomTurkey • 02/01/26 12:19 PM ET
Logic says
s11rww • 02/01/26 01:15 PM ET
I like your post - but I cannot defend booing.
Walkin` Willie • 02/01/26 11:47 AM ET
I can't imagine there are more than a handful of students on this board...
Culpeper Hokie • 02/01/26 09:04 AM ET
