Our schedule after week 1…looks much tougher than preseason
Only Wake looks like it can be booked as a W Even Cal looked a lot better than anticipated USCe, FSU, Miami in top 15 GT & UL very possibly can be ranked by time we play them I didn’t see 5 top 25 teams on the schedule but looks very possible And UVA didn’t have their normal struggle with an FCS/G5 school. They look much better

My expectations for this football program have been low since '18
When we win, it's a tad more enjoyable that way. It all starts and ends with ADWB. His lack of taking the initiative, and only reacting to situations, has put us in a hole. TAMU does not lack for resources. They also gave me cause to donate and join the 12th Man Foundation, as they engage with the fanbase. I cannot say the same for any number of paltry efforts from Blacksburg and the Hokie Club. I even donate to Triumph NIL, but feel it is all in vain. Too little, too late. 7-5 or 8-4 are meeting expectations. Losing to Vandy, will be unacceptable this year. I am expecting us to take Ls from the Canes and Noles.

Anyone expecting wins vs USCe, UM, FSU, GT, & UL preseason is delusional
I’m more optimistic post week 1 but still have those games as losses. My optimism now extends to a .500 season being POSSIBLE although I need more to think it’s probable. No P4 QB is going to be the limiting factor.

Until I saw them Same with Miami in Blacksburg in November until I saw them

They might. But let's see how the season plays out. They didn't play a good
team on Saturday.

I'm sure our opponent's fans are looking at our new and improved...
...football team thinking we're not going to be a pushover. I doubt Miami and F$U fans think that, since they never have before...lol

Our new hires certainly gave us improvement. The player mistakes greatly
outnumbered the coaches mistakes. You can't say there is no improvement when the coaching says otherwise. ** Edited by IB4TECH at 9/3/2025, 2:23:36 PM

Yep. A few moments of sloppiness surrounded by some pretty decent football.
The key is can they avoid a game of wack-a-mole and clean up one thing and have another pop up. But I certainly like the chances better after seeing game 1 than I did in previous years when it moments of sloppiness surrounded by a half of decent football and a half of WTF.

Even after our loss, I feel more optimistic about this team than at...
...the same point during Pry's first three seasons. Feel we actually have hope for the first time since Pry lost in Norfolk three years ago. That was a total crap show!
