So settle for soup when you could have steak and lobster.

The acceptance of mediocrity is Hoo’ish. Meh…good enough is a terrible outlook. If you aren’t going to strive to be the best then you might as well shut the program down, raze Lane Stadium, and build something more productive. ** Edited by GSOHokie01 at 9/4/2024, 11:55:55 AM

I think we will see some teams with similar resources to VT
MaroonMark • 09/06/24 01:29 AM ET
Been saying this for years. Short of a miracle benefactor, VT is stuck.**
marcbvtgm • 09/04/24 05:36 PM ET
Money alone won't do it. Ask the bottom of the SEC and B1G...
Techsupport • 09/05/24 10:26 AM ET
But you have zero chance without $$ - Deion or not. Ergo, VT has no chance.
marcbvtgm • 09/05/24 10:48 AM ET
At what precisely?
Techsupport • 09/05/24 03:46 PM ET
A great team. A big dog. See the OP (which is what I responded to).
marcbvtgm • 09/06/24 11:33 AM ET
To me a top 15 team is a 9-10 win program.
Techsupport • 09/06/24 03:10 PM ET
Can remember how one player named Michael Vick put VT at the top.**
Bburg Mac • 09/05/24 08:34 AM ET
Vick would cost $2 million now**
VTGungHO • 09/05/24 11:13 AM ET
Probably cost......
2hhoop3 • 09/05/24 11:43 AM ET
We absolutely can be top 12; have been as recently as 2010-11
hokiepro • 09/04/24 01:46 PM ET
That's not recent in today's era. Things are moving blazingly fast.**
NokieHokie • 09/05/24 11:54 AM ET
Were you around the last 30 years? Infrequent top 10 visits are realistic
Techsupport • 09/04/24 01:43 PM ET
I would be surprised if any of our fans think a run in the playoffs
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/04/24 01:06 PM ET
I think VT can absolutely be a playoff team consistently
hokiedad25 • 09/05/24 10:01 AM ET
"Playoffs? PLAYOFFS??"
Zanderhokie • 09/04/24 02:41 PM ET
If we are capped then that means more money won’t get us any results
HokieAl • 09/04/24 11:32 AM ET
Maybe one day we’ll be able to chant “We’re #13!”**
Hardcore_Hokie • 09/04/24 12:52 PM ET
Bingo on both.
Gobbler Guru • 09/04/24 12:28 PM ET
Even though you are correct about the SEC not transforming those schools
VTHokie2000 • 09/04/24 06:21 PM ET
Truth! **
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/04/24 01:42 PM ET
Would like to see the non P2s create a division with balance and reality**
Happy Dog • 09/04/24 01:34 PM ET
I'm starting to agree with this take on VT sports**
GoFightingGobblers • 09/04/24 12:39 PM ET
Think if some P2 school took 1/2 their FB money and NIL and spread it over
cricket77 • 09/04/24 11:46 AM ET
All that matters is football, period
Happy Dog • 09/04/24 12:15 PM ET
I would be shocked if everyone does not understand this
VT ChemE 1986 • 09/04/24 01:44 PM ET
I don't think most people care
Happy Dog • 09/05/24 05:18 AM ET
There's a reason "sports fans" is a shorten version of the phrase "sports
VTHokie2000 • 09/04/24 06:08 PM ET
I’m with you on that.**
cricket77 • 09/04/24 11:42 AM ET
Need to look to non-rev sports if you want a national title
Happy Dog • 09/04/24 11:40 AM ET
IMO Clemson seemed to drop off after everyone started paying players w/ NIL
kingofcassell • 09/04/24 11:30 AM ET
Until proven otherwise, I offer O/U as 4.5 for playoff selection

GSOHokie01 • 09/04/24 11:28 AM ET
Lane has been raised. I vote no for razing. **
TomTurkey • 09/04/24 11:36 AM ET
Corrected. I would rather not raze Lane Stadium…
GSOHokie01 • 09/04/24 12:00 PM ET
I'll give Pry 2 more seasons, but no money. SB and WBB for me. And St. Jude**
TomTurkey • 09/04/24 12:13 PM ET
Maybe it being higher would help
Pylons • 09/04/24 11:57 AM ET
I think VT has the resources and talent to be a top 25 to 30 team most
Hokie_Forester • 09/04/24 10:55 AM ET
20 yrs ago VT had a competitive athletic dept. If we're not going to try
