like you did, that no matter how you read it, twist it, or turn it...........is negative. Why? James Franklin's contract ink is barely dry, and I just have to say this isn't necessary. C'mon. How about a "glass half full" and say "When Franklin retires ranked with Beamer as a Hokie great",. he will have left our program on much solid ground. We just landed a bunch of 4stars and it appears more heading our way - Franklin leaving in a couple of years just does not fit with the vibe, mood, or tone today. Not a flame. Not trying to piss you off. Just asking we keep it positive, as but for the hot deucer we laid Saturday night - it's been as positive a few weeks in Hokie land in quite a while. MTH

I'm an unfortunately ignorant realist who sometimes struggles to see when things I personally think as a positive may be seen as negative. I'll just sit back and enjoy this one.

a new day, a new era that I would say is coming to Hokie Football. That’s what we all want no matter how we post it. MTH

program with outsized expectations and an ungrateful fan base. We will treat him well and I think it will be reciprocated.
