Having SC and an improving Vandy doesn't make for an easy start.

I can see Tech hanging with South Carolina for a half and then slipping. They are saying this may be a better Vandy team than last year so that will also be a difficult game....

What percentage do you think VT starts the season 0-2?
MKD • 08/05/25 08:18 PM ET
141 2/3% chance that both lose to your Virginia Tech Hokies!!**
Arch Hokie 06 • 08/06/25 03:59 PM ET
38% (75% loss to USC x 50% loss to Vandy)**
solareye • 08/06/25 11:37 AM ET
We have a 28% chance of going 0-2 and a 28.2% chance of going 2-0.
jonnyhawk • 08/06/25 11:15 AM ET
I am more interested in the consequences of going 0-2
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/06/25 11:07 AM ET
Vandy is a psychological "must-win" for the program...

Sorry for the dark tone, but all this talking about winning and losing has

less than 25%
hokieninsurance • 08/06/25 10:18 AM ET
About 50, only because I think VU is a tossup and USC almost surefire loss**
Synaesthesia • 08/06/25 09:52 AM ET
The biggest issue with 0-2 is not JUST 0-2, it's another loss at home. For

66%**
AirborneHokie96 • 08/06/25 09:31 AM ET
I just think we will be better than most believe at this point.
likehokies • 08/06/25 09:28 AM ET
It's the first game
flymanhokie • 08/06/25 12:55 PM ET
IMHO, Pry and this team cannot afford a slow start to the season. They have
91HokieBob • 08/06/25 10:31 AM ET
That's exactly what I'd like to see.
likehokies • 08/06/25 11:16 AM ET
Yup. It's time for Pry to nut up as head coach and come out looking and

75%**
Fore_Hokies • 08/06/25 09:02 AM ET
That’s way too high, IMO.
Pride_and_Joy • 08/06/25 09:12 AM ET
Pry has his finger on the scale**
VT ChemE 1986 • 08/06/25 11:04 AM ET
33% is the correct answer, I'll even show my work: 65% * 50% = 33%**
BG Hokie • 08/06/25 08:30 AM ET
Current predictives have USC with a .74 win probability. **
Pride_and_Joy • 08/06/25 09:13 AM ET
As soon as I posted that I thought my number was too optimistic. This
BG Hokie • 08/06/25 09:55 AM ET
Not trying to claim a victory. Just sharing my opinion. **
Pride_and_Joy • 08/06/25 12:24 PM ET
You shared a fact and I made a joke in response.**
BG Hokie • 08/06/25 12:45 PM ET
Okay. It was a weird joke. **
Pride_and_Joy • 08/06/25 05:57 PM ET
It was a normal joke told by a weird guy.**
BG Hokie • 08/07/25 02:03 PM ET
Sounds about right. Also think there’s maybe a 20% chance of going 0-3
I85Hokie • 08/06/25 08:29 AM ET
0-3 - if VT goes 0-3 Pry shouldn't even bother showing up for the next game**
VPI_1998 • 08/06/25 12:50 PM ET
Whit and Pry better be packing bags and houses. The fan fervor will be
91HokieBob • 08/06/25 02:41 PM ET
Fans would buy that argument for SC and Vandy because both are P2 schools
VTHokie2000 • 08/07/25 01:03 PM ET
55% ... If we start 0-2, Pry has gotta go
kingofcassell • 08/06/25 08:19 AM ET
We start 0-2, I think USC-E and Vanderbilt are probably better than us.
TekkNerd • 08/06/25 08:06 AM ET
Yup! Somehow...I think we will eek out a W at home vs Vandy. Pry and this
91HokieBob • 08/06/25 08:39 AM ET
Given Vandy's schedule, it will probably need to go 4-0 in OOC games if it
VTHokie2000 • 08/06/25 02:32 PM ET
Beating Vandy is very doable, but it will be a battle for sure.**
TekkNerd • 08/06/25 08:50 AM ET
33%**
reestuart • 08/06/25 08:05 AM ET
50% I think we can beat Vandy if the OL comes together and young receivers
SCHokie1103 • 08/06/25 08:04 AM ET
20% chance of beating the cocks and Vandy is 50/50, so 40% chance
Wilmington Hokie • 08/06/25 07:50 AM ET
85%. USCe, better than us, Vandy QB will hurt NFL's DC, Hope wrong.**
George Baylor • 08/06/25 07:27 AM ET
That’s higher than the win probability for USC alone. lol. **
Pride_and_Joy • 08/06/25 09:15 AM ET
That would be 100% with T-Bow and Marve
EDGEMAN • 08/06/25 05:34 AM ET
0% **
Stork • 08/06/25 03:51 AM ET
75% USC has a QB, WR, and DL getting propped as dudes. Pavia is good and we
Maroon Effect • 08/05/25 11:24 PM ET
70% sounds fair. Two new coordinators and replacing a number of starters.
GSOHokie01 • 08/05/25 10:23 PM ET
50**
40ozDistrict • 08/05/25 10:17 PM ET
Better beat Vandy....or
JRHokie • 08/05/25 09:39 PM ET
We probably have a 65% chance to be at Vandy. Maybe 20% to beat USC.
Seikoh_04 • 08/05/25 09:11 PM ET
It's tough to predict without more data - 2 new coordinators that we

Vandy's predicted records range from 6-6 to 2-10.**
ancient alien 2018 • 08/05/25 09:03 PM ET
Vandy's a tough read.
Will StewartAdmin • 08/06/25 09:24 AM ET
I suppose that's the reason their record predictions are all over the map.
ancient alien 2018 • 08/06/25 05:12 PM ET
might be more interesting to look at their losses and what the second half
proudhokie2001 • 08/06/25 10:49 AM ET
