Today or tomorrow likely ends another team sports school year
With baseball likely to lose game 1 or 2 at ACCT. Only women’s soccer, wrestling, track, swimming and Softball had really any semblance of success Hoping we get to see more next year 😕

When you get down, think about Texas A&M
That'll give you a smile!

At least TAMU has won a NCAA championship in a team sport. Maybe some day
VT will find a way to get that monkey off its back.

If we want a natty we need to dump the money to softball.
Its the closest team we have to being contenders and probably be one of the cheaper sports when it comes to NIL. Not saying we should do this but if want that Natty it would be our best bet.

Softball could work, but the SEC seems to have a firm control on that sport
VT may have better luck in soccer, tennis, golf, or adding a cheap sport like women's bowling.

The SEC has won ONE softball Natty in the last 10 years....
And that was Florida, ten years ago. Oklahoma was a Big 12 member for all their recent titles.

The "control" I am referring to does not put as much weight on national
titles compared to other factors (i.e. locations of the top softball recruits, region of the country where softball thrives at the lower levels, money/resources to entice top recruits to attend their schools, ability to play more home games during the regular season, ability to secure more regions in the postseason, etc.).

They do but they are not that far ahead. Pull a Texas Tech and go pay the
best pitcher in the sport and this team could win it all.

For some reason that really doesn't bother me
I mean we have won conference championships, and the satisfaction only lasts until the next season. If we had multiple national championships, I don't think my current satisfaction level regarding VT sports would be any different.

It does show that the coaches and administration knows what it takes for a
program to get to the top of the mountain. When club teams are able to win multiple national championships in multiple sports, then at some point then at some point it may raise the question if the leadership for the club programs know something that the leadership for NCAA athletics does not. Also, I'm not sure it is a good look when VT and I think K-State are the only schools from a "power conference" to never win a NCAA team national championship in any sport. Does VT really want to be the last school standing in that category?

Keep in mind that we've been full power conference member for only 25 years

I understand, but it is worth noting that the term "power conference" did
not really exist until the BCA/BCS error.

It Aint Easy Being a Hokie Fan
Most VT sports programs in decline. We lack any drive at the top levels...AD, Prez, BOV. Just keep sending the checks. Status quo reigns. Old boy network of indifference. FB a big disappointment, hope CBP can do better, but doubt it. Like the guy, but eventually got to start winning. Should never have hired rookie coordinators last year, big mistake. Maybe better this year ?

On paper, I don't see how this year could possibly be better than last...
....I mean we had 20 returning starters last year, and totally fumbled that opportunity. I don't know how you turnover the entire roster AND the coaching staff and do better than last season. Just being real, I think 2025 is brent-pry-year-one 2.0. I don't even know how you build a team in this environment when the players minds are on their next stop, not the team they're on.

On paper, there was no way we win less than 8 games last season.

I think women's basketball also had a successful season.
hokiepro hokiepro OP
It was mildly successful yes
Considering the rebuild

I have hope for WBB, and expectations for continued success in Wrestling
and softball. FB, not really expecting success, just hoping continued revenue success to support the Teams that have a chance
hokiepro hokiepro OP
Success for football will be finishing top 5 in ACC
1977hokie 1977hokie
I’d take that for sure! Don’t expect it, but we’re over due for a pleasant
surprise, maybe this is the year
hokiepro hokiepro OP
That was moreso a statement for future years
Not saying it’ll happen this year but that top 5 should be considered successful in the future
