I really don't care what happens in any watered down, opt out, Life Is Like A Box Of Chocolates Bowl Game. Win, or lose. There are not only too many Bowl Games, which was bad enough, but now hardly any of them are worth anything. You need look no further than F$U's "effort" against UGA, after the Seminoles were snubbed from the 4 team Playoff recently. The final in that one, I believe, was 63-3. Coach Franklin, get us a winning Regular Season, the first for the Hokies since 2019 (Bud Foster's last season, btw, when we went 8-4, before losing the Bowl Game to Kenthuggy), and I will have an increased, solid trust in you. Another 6-6 campaign, and I will have to remind myself, that it takes time. From 7 Wins being extremely disappointing in 2003, to starving for 7 wins, in 2026. Ever since Danny Coale was ruled to not have *caught* *that* *ball*, what a fall, this program has taken.
