So Wofford landed on our schedule as a replacement for whom ??? I assume
86TechHokie • 09/16/22 11:17 AM ET
ECU - and I'm incredibly sad because that was a fun matchup and venue**
WildTurkE • 09/16/22 11:24 AM ET
ECU screwed VT, that was enough, you dont deal with unprincipled programs
Mercury • 09/16/22 11:38 AM ET
You forgot their second screw job. At the end of the season, instead of...
EDGEMAN • 09/16/22 02:52 PM ET
They took both the VT paycheck and the check from the make-up game.
Fatman • 09/16/22 04:25 PM ET
Pretty sure that ended up being untrue. @Chris Coleman ? Anyone?**
reestuart • 09/16/22 04:37 PM ET
bingo, so true. Case closed**
Mercury • 09/16/22 03:10 PM ET
VT dragged their feet on that because of the potential to play in the
reestuart • 09/16/22 02:59 PM ET
That most certainly is on ECU
EDGEMAN • 09/16/22 03:18 PM ET
VT made almost no effort to get them hotel rooms. As of Tuesday afternoon
reestuart • 09/16/22 03:27 PM ET
Sorry,as a power 5 school ECU should be honored to have us on the schedule
Mercury • 09/16/22 03:12 PM ET
good lord. Honored to play VT? LOL. That's stupid.**
reestuart • 09/16/22 03:28 PM ET
He sounds more like a hoo with each post.**
NokieHokie • 09/16/22 03:28 PM ET
I dunno if even they would allow his legacy post…**
Brewing_Hokie • 09/16/22 05:46 PM ET
I was convinced of that a long time ago.**
saret • 09/16/22 05:24 PM ET
Now, THEY should be honored. 🤪**
TomTurkey • 09/16/22 04:42 PM ET
I agree. I enjoyed the series.
Hokierjh65 • 09/16/22 02:37 PM ET
ECU is located in Greenville, NORTH CAROLINA, not South Carolina**
techer1983 • 09/16/22 02:16 PM ET
who gives a damn semantics its a school left behind
Mercury • 09/16/22 03:14 PM ET
Nope.**
NokieHokie • 09/16/22 01:56 PM ET
And there was a bit more
WestyHokie • 09/16/22 01:47 PM ET
Greenville didn't experience 'mild bad weather'**
TomTurkey • 09/16/22 04:45 PM ET
Even if they did, that wasn't the prediction at the time decisions needed
NokieHokie • 09/16/22 05:16 PM ET
Wrong.**
NokieHokie • 09/16/22 01:56 PM ET
Explain**
WestyHokie • 09/16/22 02:35 PM ET
ECU went to FL in advance to beat the hurricane. Had they gone to VT. The
NokieHokie • 09/16/22 02:50 PM ET
And UVA moved their game to NASHVILLE TN to avoid the storm's path**
TomTurkey • 09/16/22 03:06 PM ET
yep. And VT cancelled a home soccer game the day before the ECU game.**
reestuart • 09/16/22 03:07 PM ET
they also couldn't get VT to answer about finding accommodations after VT
reestuart • 09/16/22 03:06 PM ET
So they were worried about post-hurricane damage on their route?
WestyHokie • 09/16/22 02:55 PM ET
They wouldn't know the extent of the damage ahead of time.**
NokieHokie • 09/16/22 03:03 PM ET
I don't see how this changes any of the story
WestyHokie • 09/16/22 08:25 PM ET
Yes, they guessed wrong. I don't blame them for that. But what do I know, I
NokieHokie • 09/16/22 09:14 PM ET
As a Hokie Alum and ECU faculty member, that's a pretty ignorant take...**
DurhamHokie • 09/16/22 01:09 PM ET
seemed pretty spot-on to me.**
squarerootofone • 09/16/22 01:38 PM ET
Me three. We owe ECU nothing.**
BAMRising • 09/16/22 01:41 PM ET
ECU would beat us this year, so good thing we're not playing them.**
DurhamHokie • 09/16/22 01:47 PM ET
Maybe, maybe not **
VaTechHokiesACC • 09/16/22 04:40 PM ET
Brilliant post... that's every game ever played.**
DurhamHokie • 09/19/22 10:10 AM ET
According to most models
Hokierjh65 • 09/16/22 02:56 PM ET
Models, schmodels - ECU would pound us - we're just not that good this year** ◄
DurhamHokie • 09/19/22 10:09 AM ET
I think we're missing a big component to this...
WildTurkE • 09/16/22 01:51 PM ET
So what happened form your perspective?**
DoYouLiftHokies • 09/16/22 01:23 PM ET
See below...
DurhamHokie • 09/16/22 01:46 PM ET
Below ... as in Florida? That's where the ECU bus is right now**
WestyHokie • 09/16/22 02:37 PM ET
One correction, Greenvile, NC**
84goblr • 09/16/22 11:57 AM ET
I remember that too. Just think we need to repair this relationship
WildTurkE • 09/16/22 11:42 AM ET
Mildly bummed since my Dad (RIP) was an O-lineman for ECU so I pulled for
Tuckahokie • 09/16/22 01:44 PM ET
nah....screw them. Think of it as a business...
JoesterVT • 09/16/22 12:03 PM ET
VT is paying Wofford $450K. How does that compare to ECU?**
reestuart • 09/16/22 02:32 PM ET
yep.. screw them. I prefer playing ODU over them**
Windows NT • 09/16/22 12:35 PM ET
Yeah, that schedule is nifty**
TomTurkey • 09/16/22 03:09 PM ET
ECU would need that hypothetical conference even more badly than VT**
Synaesthesia • 09/16/22 12:01 PM ET
i was tired of the series, but I didn't think there was any reason
reestuart • 09/16/22 12:00 PM ET
We have left that station
Mercury • 09/16/22 11:52 AM ET
Love your O&M-colored glasses, but...
