I live in Harrisonburg and the delusional JMU fanbase keep saying

Hokies are scared to play them. Obviously, it's due to scheduling and contracts and JMU was the one that had to go. How do I explain this in the simplest terms? They truly believe Tech is hiding behind "other reasons" behind the actual reason and it is legit both scary and annoying. They truly think they are big time now.

Unfortunately the last few years they would have probably beaten us

How would you explain the designated hitter rule to a cat.
CyberHokie • 01/15/26 01:05 PM ET
The easiest way is to tell someone the 4 dates of the original OOC games.

Vippie1 • 01/15/26 08:56 AM ET
Tell them VT, as bad as they were, beat a P4 team last year. Did JMU?**
HokieKanger • 01/15/26 08:22 AM ET
Admit they would have crushed us this year by 30
Riverguy • 01/15/26 07:04 AM ET
I wish we would play and just shut them up **
HokiesACC2004 • 01/15/26 06:34 AM ET
Is it really worth your time?**
RLFDHokie • 01/14/26 07:49 PM ET
Yeah. You don't.**

Tell them we’d love that student athletic fee they have. $2,500 vs $700?
HokieNeal • 01/14/26 07:27 PM ET
That would be a cool $80 million in student fees ;) **
The Hokie Steve • 01/14/26 10:18 PM ET
yeah. we are terrified.. petrified. i guess they reloaded with the d3 kids**

Just leave it alone for now - they earned the feeling to be pissed - really
U2Hokie • 01/14/26 07:26 PM ET
It’s not VT job to make JMU relevant in the CFB landscape .. tell them that**
The Hokie Steve • 01/14/26 10:19 PM ET
Napier certainly did a good job at UF. Lets see how he will do with less. **
Glenvar Hokie • 01/14/26 09:23 PM ET
FWIW Billy Napier was 40-12 at UL-Lafayette the 4 years he was their HC.

Yep & two coaches in a row have bolted from them.**
seacain • 01/14/26 07:19 PM ET
Date was set for Sept 26; ACC told VT to free that date
hokiepro • 01/14/26 07:00 PM ET
Plus neither SMU or VT wanted to open
HokieFlyFisher • 01/14/26 07:23 PM ET
Yep. And we’re saying the same thing
hokiepro • 01/14/26 07:24 PM ET
I mean, I don't think scared is the right word necessarily...
Gobbler-100 • 01/14/26 06:48 PM ET
Yeah, this is the time for them to talk trash. They can't afford to keep
ChrisLords • 01/15/26 04:49 AM ET
They can't keep hiring home runs **
