Whit Babcock, like him or not, this man did the best he could for VT.
jonnyhawk • 04/23/26 05:07 PM ET
Why didn’t he go to the BOV 7 years earlier with that presentation?
VPI63 • 04/24/26 01:23 AM ET
Thank You...**

Whit gambled and lost.

No, keeping Ballein around was a huge mistake. **
40ozDistrict • 04/23/26 08:10 PM ET
Ballein and Fuente..

40ozDistrict • 04/23/26 11:25 PM ET
Yeah yeah yeah. Dude didn’t do the best he could. **
Brewing_Hokie • 04/23/26 05:46 PM ET

The issues have been well documented that Fu could have worked if Whit
Brewing_Hokie • 04/23/26 09:32 PM ET
Then why didn’t anyone else
Planner_Hokie • 04/24/26 01:10 PM ET
Because it’s also well reported Fu didn’t want to do it and wanted to focus
Brewing_Hokie • 04/24/26 01:51 PM ET

I agree, but all the years prior to 2025 under Whit still count.
Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie • 04/23/26 09:29 PM ET
Nope. The BOV TOLD Whit to get that presentation together. **
Brewing_Hokie • 04/23/26 06:04 PM ET
Yes they did….

NOPE
jonnyhawk • 04/23/26 07:37 PM ET
Babcock was only repeating the company line as ordered by the BOV.
RJHokie • 04/23/26 08:43 PM ET
It's great that you can type "NOPE" but you sir, are dead wrong....
jonnyhawk • 04/23/26 06:22 PM ET

If so, free beer for life. But if they do anything other than 12-0 you’re
Brewing_Hokie • 04/23/26 08:48 PM ET
Any free beer, for correctly pointing out that Mr. 12-0 is wrong?? 🍺**
