home on Sept 5th, so moving the game to that date wasn't an option. It is possible the game could have been moved to Week 0.

So IF we did not cancel the JMU game in place of VMI... -- PennHokie Jul 21, 2026 at 10:46 AM ET

If the JMU game had been kept instead of VMI, then VT would played an ACC -- VTHokie2000 Jul 21, 2026 at 03:12 PM ET

If VMI was canceled instead of JMU, I think the first game is an ACC team. -- Wythe Hokie Jul 21, 2026 at 02:35 PM ET

Regardless of the date, we are ducking JMU and it is probably the right -- hokiehill1117 Jul 21, 2026 at 12:45 PM ET

Folks I'm not rehashing if we ducked JMU or not, I simply wanted to know... -- PennHokie Jul 21, 2026 at 01:50 PM ET

My recollection is 60% chance of @Miami, @Clem or @SMU opener if JMU kept -- marcbvtgm Jul 21, 2026 at 02:50 PM ET

JF is smart enough to avoid JMU for his first game at VT** -- tallahasseehokie Jul 21, 2026 at 12:28 PM ET

Except I believe JMU wouldn't have been the first game** -- marcbvtgm Jul 21, 2026 at 02:52 PM ET

ODU, we had jacked up with past and future scheduling, so we kept them -- Hate2SeeItEnd Hokie Jul 21, 2026 at 11:58 AM ET
