C'mon. Asking for a pause on the clear and borderline Debbie Downer stuff

VMI game can't get here quick enough...........please Lord let it be this coming Saturday.......... This is a bit of dead period and lots of thoughts and ideas, but the "first time OC" and "Marcell is hurt" (per Facebook - there's a real footnote source to use), we didn't do this and didn't do that is really reaching an intolerable level.........can we just pause on anything close to negative? At least for a few more weeks? Good grief. I pause for days coming on here for fear of the latest disaster "right around the corner" posts. C'mon. If someone gets hurt - next man up (have you not been listening to the Franklin MO?). Has everyone already forgotten the depths we have been in? For all of the we need a big-time coach crowd: we got one regardless of the inappropriate question from some knucklehead at the ACC media day deal. For all the we need money crowd: we got it. For all the we need to do better recruiting crowd: we are. For all the we can't compete against x,y,z for so and so: we are, and winning many of these. For the Blacksburg can't draw the ones we need crowd: that's just complete BS. There'll be time enough to debate every single play and stoke the fire so and so....... later. We are NOT going 12-0 so get that out of your head and try to reflect on just how far we had fallen and ALL the things that have been done to flip that trajectory and that this year "could be" one that got it all going again and back where we "all" want it to be. Not flaming anyone or calling anyone out - just a cautionary post from an old geezer who has seen it all from Jimmy Sharpe till now. We are sailing into a much different area and it's time for some positivity given the last several years. Bring on VMI!!! Can't happen quick enough. GO HOKIES!!! MTH

Don't worry, Pry has it all under control
Bburg Mac 07/20/26 09:38 PM ET
We have more talent on offense than defense.
