Supporting the Hokies for 38 years, and…

One thing’s for sure… I know this isn’t an opponent to light everyone’s fire, but even the bad teams in the Dooley and early Beamer years would never have lost to ODU twice in a couple years. There was always fight and determination in those teams even when talent was lacking. Shocking to see how far down our overall talent level has fallen… and the general lack of passion and want-to all around is extremely un-Hokie-like! Will be supporting as always, but buckling up for a bumpy ride…

I know we lost vmi & pretty sure we lost to Ap St., W&M & UofR w/Dooley.**
Hoakie82 • 09/06/22 09:30 PM ET

NoHuddle • 09/06/22 11:47 AM ET
It always helps when we tell our players they
fordham • 09/06/22 10:14 AM ET
Or telling them they have no passion for that matter**
4thosehokies • 09/06/22 10:43 AM ET
I hope they’re lifting and practicing and not on this message board **
3TechFanz • 09/06/22 10:19 AM ET
They can read. To think they stay off the internet is a fantasy **
fordham • 09/06/22 10:22 AM ET
Gawd you hsvent seen anthing
Mercury • 09/06/22 07:58 AM ET
You can include 1973 too…..**
FlaHokie75 • 09/06/22 01:06 PM ET
Uhhh....
Casual Fan • 09/06/22 09:59 AM ET
You're comparing VT/Clemson circa 80s to ODU in 2022? **
Techsupport • 09/06/22 09:06 AM ET
Except when MV1 was our QB, we have never been a powerhouse good
dj97223 • 09/06/22 07:52 AM ET
But there were still plenty of bad losses and bad seasons
83Hokie • 09/06/22 06:58 AM ET
Surprising to me many didn't see this demise start in Beams last 4 years**
MrFantastic! • 09/06/22 06:49 AM ET
Not really, won 10 games and played for ACC title in 2016..
Techsupport • 09/06/22 09:23 AM ET
Well Beamer went 5-17 his first two seasons
Hokie1992 • 09/06/22 06:31 AM ET
Hokies Were On Probation!!!! Makes Difference??**
battmanvt • 09/06/22 10:47 AM ET
Not sure Beamer didn't have as much vs the schedule he played then
VTCALS72 • 09/06/22 01:07 PM ET
We never would’ve scheduled 2 games AT ODU in those years either
hokiepro • 09/06/22 06:05 AM ET
ODU did not have football between 1940 and 2009**
Tuckahokie • 09/06/22 06:19 AM ET
We should have played them anyways!!!**
fordham • 09/06/22 10:19 AM ET
We would have had a fighting chance**
YardBird • 09/06/22 09:39 PM ET
Lost to VMI in 1981
VaTechHokiesACC • 09/06/22 03:59 AM ET
An obscure independent with 0 bowl wins, loses to VMI. Not the same at all.**
Techsupport • 09/06/22 09:11 AM ET
It was at the time **
VaTechHokiesACC • 09/06/22 05:03 PM ET
we lost a bad one in 1998 i think - can't remember to who though **
bigbadbird • 09/06/22 08:37 AM ET
nah, we were undefeated that year :)**
merlundhokie • 09/06/22 02:39 PM ET
0-6, I think

Coldest day game I can remember...Cloudy, the wind was biting, and flurries**
Tuckahokie • 09/06/22 08:23 AM ET
Many share your opinion... but
Riverguy • 09/07/22 07:06 AM ET
I have never been to a colder game anywhere-ever. I was a pretty young guy
VT One • 09/06/22 12:58 PM ET
I'm still thawing out.**
Stork • 09/06/22 09:49 AM ET
I lived thru several. there were lots of small school upsets.
UberHOKIE • 09/06/22 02:39 AM ET
I really don't think you can lump 80s & ECU type losses with ODU/Liberty...
Techsupport • 09/06/22 09:03 AM ET
AZ lost 23 games in a row coming into this year
fordham • 09/06/22 10:24 AM ET
This is the VT board.**
Techsupport • 09/06/22 10:28 AM ET
The bash vt board. Correct
fordham • 09/06/22 10:40 AM ET
Don't apologize for your opinion. Everyone has one.**
Techsupport • 09/06/22 10:54 AM ET
I disagree (as of right now)
Rationalist • 09/06/22 09:53 AM ET
I agree, my comment was in the context of the loss itself, not the season..
Techsupport • 09/06/22 10:19 AM ET
I think younger alumni have no context
Mercury • 09/06/22 08:10 AM ET
I’ll maintain there will never be a season as frustrating as 1992 was
Hokie1992 • 09/06/22 08:09 AM ET
Yeah, but it surprised nobody but us. VT was the "other" in '92.**
