Interesting Read on A Program Falling Behind

A lot of parallels to what we’re enduring up in Blacksburg….. Academic president, doing it with less with legacy coach, poor branding and separate logos…. Loss of focus

Interesting Read on A Program Falling Behind ◄

The culture down here sucks.
Rockfish40 • 06/29/23 10:08 AM ET
Not much different at most directionals. UCF is the unicorn**
Techsupport • 06/29/23 03:38 PM ET
It's a shame. The Tampa area deserves better.
OrlandoHokie • 06/29/23 01:13 PM ET
I like the Solar Bears! I had a great time at the arena! Amped up crowd!**
Rockfish40 • 06/29/23 04:03 PM ET
My honest question is this: does it deserve it?
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/23 01:56 PM ET
The Trop is a disaster; worst venue in MLB by MILES**
hokiepro • 06/30/23 05:16 PM ET
A few facts to perhaps help you better understand.
MontgomeryTexasHokie • 06/30/23 12:15 PM ET
Yeah it’s amazing the Rays (consistently 1 of the best orgs in baseball)…
ombandit • 06/30/23 07:12 AM ET
The Trop is that bad and St Pete is too small for MLB. Team belongs in tpa**
hardcorpshokie • 06/29/23 09:23 PM ET
So true. I look for the Rays to go to Vegas if the A’s don’t **
3TechFanz • 06/29/23 03:38 PM ET
Failing that, they should move to Kansas City.**
KCHokie2 • 06/29/23 08:55 PM ET
What happened to the Royals? Did they move some where?**
ChrisLords • 06/29/23 11:54 PM ET
No, but at this point a swap with Tampa sounds okay.**
KCHokie2 • 06/30/23 12:25 AM ET
Agree, probably a better choice for all parties concerned at this point !**
FLKEYSHOKIE • 06/30/23 06:08 PM ET
No doubt.**
kchokie • 06/30/23 01:58 PM ET
It's a very interesting situation.
OrlandoHokie • 06/29/23 03:08 PM ET
Why should baseball be the deciding factor on whether a city deserves it or
VTHokie2000 • 06/29/23 02:36 PM ET
This is accurate.
IronBlood • 06/29/23 02:44 PM ET
Wait.....I know the As are moving, but is that stadium really worse than

I know Oakland is in disrepair, but that's mostly an issue with
IronBlood • 06/30/23 10:58 AM ET
Correct, the stadium is absolutely horrible.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/23 02:49 PM ET
I remember reading the stadium was
crazylane • 06/29/23 10:07 PM ET
I wish it was all retirees
Rockfish40 • 06/29/23 04:16 PM ET
Correct - this is one of the few "young" places in FL
NOFX • 06/29/23 06:56 PM ET
The problem is the worn-out Yankee fans
Hokie1992 • 06/29/23 03:16 PM ET
I didn't say it should be the deciding factor.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/23 02:41 PM ET
And yet a commuter school with minimal research is selected for the AAU.**
EDGEMAN • 06/29/23 10:38 AM ET
Maybe for glass is 1/2 empty crowd. More things dissimilar than similar.**
marcbvtgm • 06/29/23 09:56 AM ET
Interesting.
Hokie1992 • 06/29/23 08:22 AM ET
I think you overestimate VT's appeal after a decade of mediocrity**
Techsupport • 06/29/23 01:58 PM ET
If it’s all football,
Hokie1992 • 06/30/23 07:42 AM ET
It's not all football, that's the point..
Techsupport • 06/30/23 12:15 PM ET
Well, it definitely is not about what either of those "teams" bring to the
VTCALS72 • 06/30/23 08:25 AM ET
Disagree if that were true we wouldn’t have the attendance we do
sacramento hokie • 06/29/23 09:16 PM ET
I wonder how many of our "comittable offers"
VTCALS72 • 06/29/23 10:05 PM ET
I'm not sure how reliable attendance is given that the students have
