Let’s say a couple of years from now VT wins a Natty, but not 1 starter is

An original VT signee. It’s just not my old school college football anymore. I accept that, but it just doesn’t feel right. I’d be surprised if jersey sales even sell anymore. Name might just on the back one year. I’ll watch and root, but i’m not invested anymore. Sorry, hope VT gets a lot of wins from Franklin, but I can’t bring myself to go deep in caring for players that transfer here from another school. Especially for a year or 2 tops. If VT wasn’t your go to school to begin with I don’t have much in common with you. VT was my only love coming out of HS. Feels mercenary. Just my rant.

Most of the current generation doesn’t know what a clutch pedal is,
