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?**

A lot of very negative posters who complain about everything

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**

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...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 01/14/25 01:42 PM ET
(7th), really? interesting... +.7. **
bourbonstreet • 01/14/25 08:03 PM ET
Chris - There seems to be a big disparity between 247 and On3. Do you know
VTTyson • 01/14/25 03:30 PM ET
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.
HokieDelNorte • 01/14/25 10:45 PM ET

BuffaloTraceHokie • 01/14/25 03:07 PM ET
17-0**
bigbadbird • 01/14/25 01:31 PM ET
Nice - going 13-0 and still playing the 1st round - hope to get a home game**

HokieJamie • 01/14/25 01:20 PM ET
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.**
