having been going to the spring game for years at 72 I have seen all kinds of weather there in April. Anything can happen I learned. I even had to leave one time with a fellow Hokie as soon as we got seated because a thunderstorm hit. First time that ever happened. But I’ve been there when it was snowing. I’ve been there when it’s raining. I’ve been there when it’s been freezing cold and I’ve been there when it was absolutely gorgeous. Obviously the weather will play a part somewhat in the attendance it always does. It’s not my first rodeo. I believe Franklin thinks it’s more important to fill the stadium up for the recruits that will be there to show them how much the fan base loves Virginia Virginia Tech football and I’m pretty sure he’s gonna have a boatload of recruites there. I expect nothing less with his level of recruiting energy and planning! If it makes it on ESPN that’s certainly not a bad thing and a plus. But I could care less whether ESPN is there or not. Not a fan of ESPN and never will be again with the stuff that’s going on there. Unfortunately, sometimes it’s the only way I can watch Virginia Tech supporting events and it’s already part of my Verizon cell phone package or I would not pay for it. I know my wife and I will be there if it’s not bone chilling, cold, and raining. Our health issues just can’t handle that kind of thing like we used to. But I wouldn’t bet against Franklin continuing to push and promote this game because that’s just what kind of coach he is. He knows the score here and he’s trying to build something again and this ain’t his first rodeo and this Hokie feels pretty confident he’s going to do just that with the foundation he’s already built at Virginia Tech, especially in the area of recruiting and in the portal. Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. Go Hokies!!!! ** Edited by SCHokie1103 at 2/16/2026, 10:50:13 AM
