HokiePetcu • 09/25/24 01:03 PM ET
It started with eliminating “stick it in” chant

When did VT stop selling The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly type shirts?

We were a different school with a different mentality, culture, attitude,

Say what u want about Jim Weaver, he was instrumental in our ACC addition…
ombandit • 09/25/24 06:46 PM ET
Don’t agree with the intimidation description.

Whit and Fuente
WildTurkey • 09/25/24 05:21 PM ET
Convenient. But not particularly accurate.**

How far behind is the program on facilities?
One4VT • 09/25/24 03:15 PM ET
It's not 2015 anymore. Facilities will be mostly a non-issue in NIL era.
marcbvtgm • 09/26/24 03:55 PM ET
The nicest I've seen is Clemson's facilities
99VT • 09/26/24 09:37 AM ET
Assuming that's true, facilities shouldn't be holding this program back...
One4VT • 09/26/24 09:55 AM ET
No, that's not holding them back IMO.**

50Ford • 09/25/24 02:59 PM ET
What you say about Foster is true
crazylane • 09/25/24 05:32 PM ET
Beamer's own success did, in more ways than one
Synaesthesia • 09/25/24 02:48 PM ET
Beamer stayed 3 years too long, we missed on Fu and were late on facilities
hokieinoregon • 09/25/24 02:25 PM ET
About as succinct and true as you can be**

hokiedad25 • 09/25/24 02:47 PM ET
Beamer stayed because Weaver stayed.

If you believe that was VT's "window of opportunity" to carpe diem and
VTHokie2000 • 09/25/24 07:33 PM ET
Steger should have retired Weaver when it became obvious
RJHokie • 09/25/24 07:59 PM ET
Isn't that what a BOV is for? Someone should have been minding the ship...**
NokieHokie • 09/25/24 08:53 PM ET
Some of those folks likely don’t know the score either.
RJHokie • 09/25/24 09:01 PM ET
It wouldn't surprise me if the BOV thought April 16th was the bigger (and

Lack of two Hall of Fame coaches in the program at the same time? **

Lots of spelling mistakes there, DMercuryVGobbler. Lots of factual errors

dj97223 • 09/25/24 06:50 PM ET
That was likely........
2hhoop3 • 09/25/24 06:53 PM ET
You missed the mark........
2hhoop3 • 09/25/24 02:23 PM ET
Agree 100%. And VT is one of the lowest spenders in ACC for athletics **
HokieAl • 09/25/24 02:02 PM ET
What metric........
2hhoop3 • 09/25/24 03:02 PM ET
Well it's impossible to know what the private schools are spending. So...
HokieAl • 09/25/24 05:10 PM ET
Thanks for reply........

It was everything and everyone. We got comfortable and relaxed

Whit, and his reactive hiring.

We had a chip on our shoulder in Big East
Hokie12thman • 09/25/24 01:28 PM ET
It has been all downhill since we stopped the "Stick It In" chant

How did you come up with the 1st two questions?
VTCALS72 • 09/25/24 01:18 PM ET
Fair questions
HokiePetcu • 09/25/24 01:57 PM ET
When do you think we tailed off in the ACC?
VTCALS72 • 09/25/24 03:31 PM ET
2011-12
hokiepro • 09/25/24 07:28 PM ET
We benefited from Clemson and FSU being terrible. Then they got good again.**

It's more like "Turn off the lights, the party's over."**
EDGEMAN • 09/25/24 03:25 PM ET
True - and who made the hiring decisions from that point forward?**
HokiePetcu • 09/25/24 01:09 PM ET
What does that have to do with it?
VTCALS72 • 09/25/24 01:24 PM ET
The leadership has everything to do with it
HokiePetcu • 09/25/24 02:02 PM ET
