Oh, I'm sure you can look at the data and argue for both.

Then again, the transfer portal hasn't been around very long, and I'm sure they've slowly tweaked their system year by year. So maybe there isn't enough historical data built up for us to draw conclusions.

Tell me again why we'll be so terrible next year?...

Talent, history, tradition**

Why would you expect anything different than recent history?**
Palmetto Hokie • 01/14/25 10:22 PM ET
Can’t replace the seniors we are losing
Blake843 • 01/14/25 10:19 PM ET
Tuten and APR
crazylane • 01/15/25 12:01 AM ET
21 out of 22 returning starters in 2024. Same regular season record as 2023
GSOHokie01 • 01/14/25 10:10 PM ET
king tut'? Yah; he was... ...who is '25, here?**
bourbonstreet • 01/14/25 08:01 PM ET
Tuten is a huge loss
Seikoh_04 • 01/15/25 12:12 PM ET
Nobody... Pry went 3 wins before Tut. Then 6-6 with him twice. Now what?**
NokieHokie • 01/14/25 10:40 PM ET
...less?**
bourbonstreet • 01/14/25 10:41 PM ET
I'm afraid so. Not sure we make a bowl this year.**
NokieHokie • 01/14/25 11:03 PM ET
A lot of very negative posters who complain about everything
Planner_Hokie • 01/14/25 07:30 PM ET
Not a terribly hard question to pry open.**

I think he's making a last ditch effort to foster in a new era.**
BG Hokie • 01/14/25 06:18 PM ET
Or Foster in the old era.**
NokieHokie • 01/14/25 11:04 PM ET
Well, Tech looked like a team on the rise at the end of 2023. Returned
seekoHoG • 01/14/25 05:18 PM ET
Don't know about terrible, but will take a step back. 4 reasons:
Gobbler Guru • 01/14/25 05:07 PM ET
5. We will lose 2-3 games when we were the favorite. Pry's record.**
George Baylor • 01/15/25 07:58 AM ET
1 is wrong. We have a year 3 starter returning
hokiepro • 01/15/25 07:24 AM ET
Many nattering nabobs of negativity here
Happy Dog • 01/14/25 04:37 PM ET
Entire religions are built on the idea that today is the worst of all times
Beerman • 01/14/25 04:03 PM ET
I don't think we'll be terrible....but we'll be around .500
TekkNerd • 01/14/25 03:49 PM ET
Tech needs a QB, a QB Coach to develop them and a competent OC. Tuff Sched
Flanker • 01/14/25 03:42 PM ET
Eh, I know Drones 2024 was disappointing but he proved plenty in 2023. If
BG Hokie • 01/14/25 04:24 PM ET
He's too slow and he can't throw.
Flanker • 01/14/25 07:49 PM ET
Drones just isn't a natural passer
MKD • 01/14/25 04:33 PM ET
A rSR in his 3rd year as a starter severely limits play calling for any
BG Hokie • 01/14/25 06:44 PM ET
Tech needs a QB who can overcome poor playcalling by an inept OC.
Flanker • 01/14/25 08:16 PM ET
Limits? Perhaps but few don’t. My hope is Bowen can/will use Drones better
marcbvtgm • 01/14/25 06:39 PM ET
So you want a SLOW QB to use his legs to set up throws that he CAN'T MAKE?
Flanker • 01/14/25 08:31 PM ET
I'm not sure we will be terrible, but Pry has yet to prove he can
BuffaloTraceHokie • 01/14/25 03:09 PM ET
More than half are non P5 players, all 3* level guys..
Techsupport • 01/14/25 02:54 PM ET
Because Pry will keep talking about PSU**
hokie_eikoh • 01/14/25 02:22 PM ET
So you're telling me there's a chance? I think the range of outcomes is
BG Hokie • 01/14/25 02:17 PM ET
Review how good we were envisioned being last year
Pylons • 01/14/25 02:00 PM ET
VT hasn't proven it can put a good product on the field after a couple of
reestuart • 01/14/25 01:55 PM ET
Maybe getting players who were "developed" by other programs is the key....
EDGEMAN • 01/14/25 02:53 PM ET
Are they good enough for us to lead by 2+ scores in the final minute(s)?**
hokiepro • 01/14/25 01:54 PM ET
We won't be terrible next season. Just average and mediocre as usual
Zanderhokie • 01/14/25 01:54 PM ET
Yawn.......Ask again when we see on field results.
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/14/25 01:53 PM ET
what's the definition of "terrible"?**
6thStreetHokie • 01/14/25 01:48 PM ET
I don't know if we'll be great or terrible, but...

bourbonstreet • 01/14/25 08:03 PM ET
Chris - There seems to be a big disparity between 247 and On3. Do you know

Oh, I'm sure you can look at the data and argue for both. ◄
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/14/25 05:14 PM ET
I think it is about filling needs.

bigbadbird • 01/14/25 01:31 PM ET
Nice - going 13-0 and still playing the 1st round - hope to get a home game**

I agree, but we have the NOISY small minority who hates everything with VT
1947Sunbowl • 01/14/25 01:06 PM ET
I don't really think we're comparing ourselves to P2.
TekkNerd • 01/14/25 03:58 PM ET
"hampton Sydney level budget"...
JRHokie • 01/14/25 02:51 PM ET
Eh, I LOVE VT. I'm just kind of pessimistic about the 25 team... Certainly
BG Hokie • 01/14/25 02:18 PM ET
I think your assessment is wrong.
VT ChemE 1986 • 01/14/25 01:57 PM ET
EXACTLY. We can pretty easily be better than we are.
CPVT3 • 01/15/25 04:40 PM ET
He and his other 2 names are always wrong.**
NokieHokie • 01/14/25 06:15 PM ET
Maybe it is your assessment of a poorly run dept and team is what is wrong
VTCALS72 • 01/14/25 04:37 PM ET
Ha ha ha…..Duke, GT, 1-13 in 1 score games

Hokeedokee • 01/14/25 01:00 PM ET
winning close games is on the D, hopefully the new hire will help
tallahasseehokie • 01/14/25 01:16 PM ET
Unfortunately we have a mediocre QB and head coach.**
XundaVT • 01/14/25 12:56 PM ET
No strong QB or depth means injuries leaves us dead**
WildTurkE • 01/14/25 12:53 PM ET
I think we have a strong QB who was injured a large part
hokiepro • 01/14/25 01:56 PM ET
It's only a matter of time before he's injured again
WildTurkE • 01/14/25 03:42 PM ET
Not just our system. All college QBs need to be runners these days to be
hokiepro • 01/14/25 04:01 PM ET
Another coach with no leadership, playing hurt players,**
Rahvatech • 01/14/25 02:48 PM ET
Pry is our coach. **
GreenvilleVT • 01/14/25 12:49 PM ET
Coaching "Pry" is the best reason I know.**
