1947Sunbowl • 09/29/25 02:19 PM ET
Sure sounds great and we all hope this comes to pass sooner than later
SCHokie1103 • 09/29/25 01:41 PM ET
Totally agree and time for WB and Ballein to move on**
DCL • 09/29/25 03:23 PM ET
Ballein needs to be graciously fired**
CPVT3 • 09/29/25 08:19 PM ET
Graciously or expeditiously? 😁**
RJHokie • 09/29/25 08:21 PM ET
He should be treated the same way he treated Diana Clark.**

JRHokie • 09/29/25 01:19 PM ET
Can't wait for the inevitable "Way too tied to Beamer" complaints**
Tuckahokie • 09/29/25 02:17 PM ET
Not a knock on King, but it would be the most VT thing ever to hire him**
