Watch Pop kill it at a different school and we wonder why Monty never gave
HokieKanger • 12/26/25 07:19 PM ET
Or watch him still struggle with pressure & prove backup QB lovers wrong**
marcbvtgm • 12/27/25 03:38 PM ET
He will probably wind up at UNLV replacing Colandrea. **
Zanderhokie • 12/27/25 12:54 PM ET
Won't happen. You're dreaming. 5'-9" college QBs are few & far between**
YBYSAIAHokie • 12/27/25 11:51 AM ET
I will take that bet if he plays at the P4 level - if he goes to a P4,
CMU Hokie • 12/27/25 11:34 AM ET
SHoulds and coulds that that transactional basis of football
1947Sunbowl • 12/27/25 09:57 AM ET
I don't see him being the guy for any P4 team....
TekkNerd • 12/27/25 08:51 AM ET
Why do you think that? I wish him the best
Fatman • 12/27/25 08:30 AM ET
I doubt it**
bburgnative • 12/27/25 08:08 AM ET
Do you thing how pop and drones did in practice had anything to do
Hokie1992 • 12/27/25 07:57 AM ET
Exactly what I'm thinking, I'm afraid — I think he's going to be a…
TomA • 12/27/25 07:12 AM ET
You think he's going to be a Pava-like player?
YBYSAIAHokie • 12/27/25 01:59 PM ET
How does he remind you of Pavia?**
GoldCoast • 12/27/25 08:03 AM ET
Uh no. He will do some good things at G5 level
hokiepro • 12/27/25 07:32 AM ET
Pop will get his chance..
JRHokie • 12/27/25 06:06 AM ET
Coaches saw him at practice for 2+ yrs. Sadly he wasn't da man-inconsistent**
seacain • 12/26/25 11:47 PM ET
Then why did they keep him around?**
Atlee Hokie • 12/27/25 08:32 PM ET
Maybe no one else was better, other than Drones……**
RJHokie • 12/27/25 08:37 PM ET
I can't believe there wasn't a QB available to us via the portal ...
Atlee Hokie • 12/27/25 08:41 PM ET
Well, they got Rangle but he apparently didn’t pan out either.
RJHokie • 12/27/25 08:42 PM ET
I'm not sure the O coaches had a clue.**
Atlee Hokie • 12/27/25 08:44 PM ET
Really makes you wonder.** ◄
RJHokie • 12/27/25 08:47 PM ET
I want the best for Pop, and I hope he does kill it at the next school.**
Stech • 12/26/25 08:29 PM ET
As long as it’s not ODU or JMU**
Hokie1992 • 12/27/25 07:58 AM ET
If we lose to ODU or JMU going forward
crazylane • 12/27/25 10:42 AM ET
😆 **
Stech • 12/27/25 08:15 AM ET
I hope the best for him. Hopefully he banked some $$ while at VT**
40ozDistrict • 12/26/25 08:00 PM ET
He’s going to be playing at an FCS school & will do well there**
Hokiefied • 12/26/25 07:41 PM ET
Pop had his moments & UVa
RRHOKIE • 12/26/25 07:37 PM ET
That was one of the worst uva teams in memory**
Happy Dog • 12/27/25 07:16 AM ET
Yep. Terrible D. No pass rush & not good coverage. **
marcbvtgm • 12/27/25 03:40 PM ET
He had his shot at VT and hopefully, he'll do better in the FCS. No one...
Tank • 12/26/25 07:33 PM ET
ex coach didn't give Pop a chance to win. instead monty bet on a bad horse**
Windows NT • 12/26/25 07:39 PM ET
Our O line couldn't pass block
crazylane • 12/26/25 09:52 PM ET
Had his chance every day in practice
Hokiefied • 12/26/25 07:45 PM ET
did he?
drc1956 • 12/26/25 08:21 PM ET
No way
3Manysons • 12/26/25 09:06 PM ET
I’ve seen that said repeatedly and it makes 0 sense
Hokiefied • 12/26/25 08:38 PM ET
The coach that just got fired might have made that deal. If you don't have
Tombo • 12/26/25 11:19 PM ET
I have the common sense to know this is the evolution of the QB2 is the…
Hokiefied • 12/27/25 07:55 AM ET
I'm not subscribing to the backup QB is the best player on the team theory.
Tombo • 12/27/25 11:07 AM ET
Did you watch the whole field or just the QB? The entire VT pass O sucked. **
marcbvtgm • 12/27/25 03:43 PM ET
Direct answer came from Franklin when he told Pop to hit the portal
Hokiefied • 12/27/25 11:36 AM ET
You dont think he has a bigger budget than Pry did? Your logic is flimsy
Tombo • 12/27/25 07:21 PM ET
So Drones had business being a QB1 on a P4 team????**
HokieKanger • 12/26/25 09:19 PM ET
Remember that LSU came after Drones and we upped his NIL**
HOKIE75-79 • 12/27/25 08:27 AM ET
No. I’ve said repeatedly he’s G5 but the best option available.**
Hokiefied • 12/27/25 07:57 AM ET
Not on this VT team
crazylane • 12/26/25 09:56 PM ET
remember our QB that went to Tenn, and how he improved**
HOKIE75-79 • 12/27/25 08:28 AM ET
Did he improve.....
2hhoop3 • 12/27/25 08:36 AM ET
Ah, and Virginia Tech has struggled recruiting and developing top-tier QBs
Hokie1992 • 12/27/25 08:03 AM ET
No, but he was the best we had, which we all can all agree is sad.
