Name me a recent really good Minnesota player in the NFL

I already answered that in the post. Marketability and state population are not the same thing. VT plays on Thursday nights ESPN prime time 1-2 times a year. Usually 1 home game at least. That is not an accident, ESPN knows what they have in VT. And that has been the standard for almost 30 years. Let’s give ourselves some credit, that’s all I’m saying. Things get lost in these crazy TV numbers, no reason to believe our future is being a nothing in the landscape. VT BABY!!!

Yes I made one typo in that whole post and I saw i before you posted this.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 12:31 AM ET
Our academics and research are a plus.**
MikeVT85 • 08/05/23 12:15 AM ET
Academics means little to nothing. It used to be used as an excuse
vtka93 • 08/05/23 04:20 PM ET
Not really.
Pylons • 08/05/23 12:50 AM ET
Hating on your own school is weak. Academics are important
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 02:00 AM ET
I am not hating on my own school.
Pylons • 08/05/23 08:34 AM ET
You mockingly called our school Joey Slye University. That’s a put down.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 11:05 AM ET
I was mocking you, not the school. **
Pylons • 08/05/23 11:08 AM ET
And Joey Slye. (1 of 50 references I used). But it’s all good and done.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 11:11 AM ET
"Casual fan" is pretty vague, but I doubt most casual fans know
Pylons • 08/04/23 11:33 PM ET
You are a casual fan
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 02:54 AM ET
No allegiance and hoping for the worst? lol. You truly have no clue.**
Pylons • 08/05/23 08:20 AM ET
A casual fan plays Fantasy Football…
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/04/23 11:49 PM ET
Which conference are we competing with Northwestern for
Pylons • 08/05/23 12:04 AM ET
We are theoretically competing with the NWerns/MD’s etc for P2 membership
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 02:43 AM ET
Read my original post and stop it with Joey Slye
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 12:12 AM ET
Lol. Ok, I will be sure not to forget the JSU...I mean VT...
Pylons • 08/05/23 12:18 AM ET
Joey Slye is making $5mllion to kick a football for two years. JSU works.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 01:46 AM ET
Love it. "Stop it with Joey Slye"
Pylons • 08/05/23 08:29 AM ET
Did you graduate from VPI? **
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 12:27 AM ET
Yes. 3 times.**
Pylons • 08/05/23 12:43 AM ET
Okay great. I’m also a proud VT alum.
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/05/23 12:54 AM ET
With the add of UO and UW, I think our chances at P2 have improved.
Maroon Baboon • 08/04/23 11:02 PM ET
Not sure I agree, BUT, I sure hope you are 100% correct!!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 08/04/23 11:59 PM ET
100% agree and I just want to emphasize…

Minnesota - Bruce Smith (Heisman)**
HwoodHokie • 08/04/23 10:45 PM ET
Didn't Paul Bunyan play for Minnesota? ;)**
Old Line Hokie • 08/04/23 11:39 PM ET
Good pull. Bruce Smith (Minn) won the Heisman in 1941
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/04/23 10:55 PM ET
I agree, except we have totally failed to capitalize on any of those names**
VTNuke • 08/04/23 10:30 PM ET
Well, if the BigTen went to unequal revenue
SpeakToDamien • 08/04/23 10:07 PM ET
Name me a recent really good Minnesota player in the NFL ◄
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/04/23 10:24 PM ET
Compare VT athletics to Maryland or any of those other schools. I just did.**
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/04/23 10:18 PM ET
He’s right and grounded in logic. Your post is mostly emotional**
drb • 08/04/23 10:25 PM ET
?? Virginia is like 12th in population and eyeballs
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/04/23 10:35 PM ET
Question for those in NOVA?
Old Line Hokie • 08/04/23 11:31 PM ET
Virginia Tech rules NoVa
Hardcore_Hokie • 08/04/23 11:39 PM ET
Truth.
RJHokie • 08/04/23 11:52 PM ET
How visible are the Terps on local TV?
Old Line Hokie • 08/04/23 11:42 PM ET
I live in Maryland right now and Maryland doesn’t care about UMD football
