I hope they go 12-0, 16-0 and never lose a game from now until an asteroid takes us all out. I went to every home football game every year I was at VT and most bowl games. Ive been to far more football games as a spectator since graduation than basketball. Justin Fuente, Brent Pry et al have done nothing personal to me. Played flag football for years with a former VT football player and would trust him with my son's life. Genuinely nothing but positive interactions with anyone ever associated with VT football. What I have always been incredulous about is that VT has continually funneled money to a failing football program under the same guise now as it was 20 years ago...that somehow it will generate money for basketball. Thats simply not reality. To add on to that, its one thing to not drive funds to the basketball program...I think its shortsighted in terms of dollar growth, but its at least a defensible decision. What ISNT defensible is actively taking resources FROM basketball (the only pther sport with any ability to generate revenue) to prop up a football program that has done literally nothing with the increased resources and actively went backwards. It isnt sound financially, it isnt sound strategically but most importantly it isnt sound logically. As far as enjoying football success...are we counting a Spring Game as a win? Is football season here and I dont know it? There was optimism around both Fuente and Pry (even touting Pry's bulge in his pants as some omen he will be a good coach)...Fuente even won some games early on James Franklin has zero wins. And even though I share the optimism that hes definitely the guy for the job, I dont think the basketball funds taken would move the needle either way for a team who hopefully will win more than they lose but wont be a national player (which is expected in year 1 of course)
