C'mon. Asking for a pause on the clear and borderline Debbie Downer stuff
VMI game can't get here quick enough...........please Lord let it be this coming Saturday..........
This is a bit of dead period and lots of thoughts and ideas, but the "first time OC" and "Marcell is hurt" (per Facebook - there's a real footnote source to use), we didn't do this and didn't do that is really reaching an intolerable level.........can we just pause on anything close to negative? At least for a few more weeks? Good grief. I pause for days coming on here for fear of the latest disaster "right around the corner" posts. C'mon. If someone gets hurt - next man up (have you not been listening to the Franklin MO?).
Has everyone already forgotten the depths we have been in? For all of the we need a big-time coach crowd: we got one regardless of the inappropriate question from some knucklehead at the ACC media day deal. For all the we need money crowd: we got it. For all the we need to do better recruiting crowd: we are. For all the we can't compete against x,y,z for so and so: we are, and winning many of these. For the Blacksburg can't draw the ones we need crowd: that's just complete BS.
There'll be time enough to debate every single play and stoke the fire so and so....... later. We are NOT going 12-0 so get that out of your head and try to reflect on just how far we had fallen and ALL the things that have been done to flip that trajectory and that this year "could be" one that got it all going again and back where we "all" want it to be.
Not flaming anyone or calling anyone out - just a cautionary post from an old geezer who has seen it all from Jimmy Sharpe till now. We are sailing into a much different area and it's time for some positivity given the last several years. Bring on VMI!!! Can't happen quick enough.
GO HOKIES!!!

was a QB for Claiborne. He went awol during the season. That's how bad some of the history has been, but of course, not all of it. I really believe we have someone who knows what he is doing with some money to do it. It still will be tough in this new age, but we're going to be competitive.

I just find it super-annoying when someone drops something cryptic and poorly-sourced on the boards, then doesn't circle back around to explain themselves, where they got the info, provide a link, etc.
Nothing. Just "Marcell (sic) hurt?" Then crickets.

Some people are just happier when they are miserable. They can be difficult to ignore but I try in order to keep my sanity.

actually be RATTs joins the ranks of the negative after the frustrating stretch of football futility we endured.

I certainly consider myself a RATT, however some may have assumed I was a NATT during the last year of Pry's campaign. From my perspective at least, there was soooo much toxic positivity. To some posters nothing was his fault at all.

It was clear to me very early that he was a lost cause. It was going to end badly. Watching folks pretend all was well and success was right around the corner was painful. I particularly enjoyed the “stars don’t matter “ crowd when our recruiting cratered.

Once he hired his coordinators I was no longer optimistic
Way too much inexperience in the upper tiers

negative. If I agree with your negative post, it is positive to me, and vice versa!
If something gets old or boring to me, positive OR negative, I just skip it and move on the something else. I can't say ANY post bothers me a great deal.....oh well.........

Well...I think we are starting off 7-0 so, will I get
"puppy upper" critiques? It's all fun and games, man. We are here to chew the fat. Just chew it, and spit stuff out once in awhile.

+1 for the " puppy upper" reference

Unfortunately, that's the year of the Apocalypse. Nuclear winter and the collapse of civilization could lead to heavy turnover on the offensive line.

After watching Pry run the team, I’m concerned about his ability to run the defense.
Whatever he has done in the past at PSU, he’s no Bud Foster…and it’s not even close.
I expect us to be 7-5 or 8-4 this year with the team losing in the 4th quarter due to defense.
Hope I’m wrong 🥹

Regardless who the defensive coordinator is we will lose games because of defense. Don't be so quick to piss all over Pry.
