This game reminded me a lot of a game we played at ECU 10 or so years ago
early in the season. VT threw two interceptions. ECU returned a blocked punt to win 27-22. It sucked, and we were ranked 17th going into that game. So yeah, yesterday sucked like a lot of other games have sucked in the past. Does it mean the rest of the year will suck? Maybe. Probably. Maybe not. Who knows? This season could be disappointing, but let’s be real. Fuente burned this place to the ground. We have a first year head coach, who wants to build the program back up, who buys into the Hokie traditions, but it’s going to take a while. Hopefully we can be contenders for the ACC in 3-5 years, which would have us contending for a playoff spot as of 2026, and that would be cool. It takes a while to put out a dumpster fire, and just as long or longer to build something better in place of the dumpster.

VT also had the best QB since Vick sitting on the bench for just that game

Main difference I see is the absence of hope. We were ranked #13, I think,
