Today was a historic day for VT and the Beamer legacy. Many won't realize it, but Shane, carving his path in the SEC and seemingly ascending for now, has out himself in a great position in the best football conference. A generation before, his Dad did a similar work in Blacksburg. The ACC has faded somewhat, and our faithful, by and large, wouldn't have wanted Shane 10 years ago. Yet here we are. Shane, despite his shortcomings, is proving himself a good coach. Whether or not he is great remains to be seen. VT may or may not be relevant in 5 years, but Shane and the Beamer legacy seem to be better positioned for success. It's a momentous and historic day. How could one not appreciate the gravity of the matchup? We will see how this season plays out. If recent history is any indication, fans of both programs willl be less than fulfilled. ** Edited by Whitswit at 8/31/2025, 10:56:54 PM
