In the DMV is out of the footprint

For schools with a strong presence in the DMV?

Should VT add another annual opponent?
RandomAsianGuy • 05/07/25 06:41 PM ET
Id like to see VT play some home and homes with some former Pac-12 schools
Maroon Baboon • 05/08/25 11:09 PM ET
We already do...
EDGEMAN • 05/09/25 08:46 AM ET
Plus a couple of Arizonas in five or so years.**
Truthahn • 05/09/25 09:57 AM ET
The Arizona home-home series in 2029 and 2030 should be a fun series. I
VTHokie2000 • 05/09/25 02:58 PM ET
WVU annually
Hokie12thman • 05/08/25 05:50 PM ET
Personally, I prefer going to games where I'm not hit with flying
ancient alien 2018 • 05/11/25 12:21 AM ET
This is a valid concern. **
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 12:17 PM ET
Not fair to the VT fans to go there. **
Blueboy • 05/08/25 07:08 PM ET
dont go, this is NOT tea and crumpets
1947Sunbowl • 05/09/25 08:36 AM ET
Then don’t go. Watch on TV. Never should have ended the series. **
LHSHokie • 05/08/25 08:52 PM ET
Right. What is unfair is that they can't go because of safety concerns. **
Blueboy • 05/08/25 09:01 PM ET
Play in DC, but the problem you are talking about was 20 years ago, 3 games
Stech • 05/09/25 01:20 AM ET
Insist of proper policing, but it does show that is is a proper rivalry.**
Truthahn • 05/09/25 09:59 AM ET
Rotate between WVU, UCF, Cincy every year
HokieAl • 05/08/25 05:28 PM ET
From Branding not the best to be associated with Cincinatti UCF
1947Sunbowl • 05/09/25 08:38 AM ET
WVU is a no brainer to everyone that gets ratings. Do it in DC!! New RFK
Stech • 05/08/25 03:03 PM ET
I agree, but I would love to see the budgets for playing there vs home.
Truthahn • 05/09/25 10:11 AM ET
We need ratings and exposure in the DMV/RIC/HR, it will return every dime
Stech • 05/09/25 10:24 AM ET
VT plays MD 26-29. could one or two the games be in DC**
1947Sunbowl • 05/08/25 04:02 PM ET
College Park is close to DC**
EDGEMAN • 05/09/25 06:10 AM ET
A good possibility that the stadium becomes Lane Stadium Northern North
VTHokie2000 • 05/09/25 10:16 AM ET
Don't forget what happened to a Hoo's motorhome when he went there...
EDGEMAN • 05/09/25 10:20 AM ET
Keep the UMd series and add WVU. We need to kill it in DMV, RIC and HR.
Stech • 05/08/25 04:53 PM ET
im not saying not too, however
1947Sunbowl • 05/08/25 07:49 PM ET
I love playing at ODU.
Truthahn • 05/09/25 10:20 AM ET
ODU is a game played in a corn field
VPI 1924 • 05/09/25 04:55 PM ET
Yes, we need to announce a 12-year deal with WVU.
Truthahn • 05/08/25 12:29 PM ET
THis takes time its not transactional
1947Sunbowl • 05/08/25 02:12 PM ET
How could Whit be so asleep at the wheel about football? He worked at WVU!!
Stech • 05/08/25 06:14 PM ET
Maybe, just maybe, the cuzins have no interest in playing VT. Rest assured,
ancient alien 2018 • 05/11/25 12:27 AM ET
You’re living 20 yrs ago, we’ve played 3 times since then & it went great!!**
Stech • 05/11/25 12:44 AM ET
I miss playing WVU annually. I wouldn't even object to the annual VT-WVU
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 12:41 PM ET
Do it!!!**
Stech • 05/08/25 05:35 PM ET
Or Baltimore **
HokiesACC2004 • 05/08/25 01:09 PM ET
I would take that, but further for RIC and HR. **
Stech • 05/08/25 05:38 PM ET
Baltimore could work, but it might be just a little outside either schools
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 01:13 PM ET
It's further from RIC and HR, but don't expect those that live in Bburg to
Stech • 05/08/25 05:43 PM ET
In the DMV is out of the footprint ◄
Pylons • 05/08/25 02:56 PM ET
According to VT's website, VT has multiple campus located in Northern
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 03:34 PM ET
I am shocked RIC is not 3rd, are you sure about those numbers? VT in RIC
Stech • 05/08/25 05:46 PM ET
It is very well possible that RIC is now 3rd. The alumni association used
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 09:56 PM ET
Fascinating non-answer 😂**
Pylons • 05/08/25 04:04 PM ET
Virginia Tech owns Virginia **
Windows NT • 05/08/25 03:57 PM ET
Things are going to get crazy
1947Sunbowl • 05/07/25 09:14 PM ET
In the mean time, probably best to go for 1-off "kickoff" games.
EDGEMAN • 05/07/25 08:16 PM ET
Playing a virtual SEC home game in Atlanta is a great way to start 0-1,
Stech • 05/08/25 03:11 PM ET
If VT is going to play a neutral site game, then I wouldn't necessarily be
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 03:44 PM ET
Neutral sight games may be the answer. VT has
Big12 guy • 05/07/25 08:30 PM ET
No single, away games at any "brand", please.
Truthahn • 05/08/25 12:43 PM ET
i dont know all know vt scheduling policy
1947Sunbowl • 05/08/25 03:24 PM ET
A few years back, I would have
Big12 guy • 05/08/25 01:10 PM ET
I agree. I always liked the Fresno State approach.
Maroon Baboon • 05/08/25 09:29 AM ET
2 for 1's may be the new reality for teams in the B12 or ACC if
Big12 guy • 05/08/25 09:35 AM ET
Why not 1 for 1 with ACC and B12 instead of acting inferior to SEC or B1G?
Stech • 05/09/25 01:51 AM ET
The ACC and B12 should be pairing up right now.
Truthahn • 05/08/25 12:48 PM ET
Except it may not be 2-for-1 or even 3-for-1 for ACC and Big XII schools
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 11:33 AM ET
It happens. The G5 have been living that reality for
Big12 guy • 05/08/25 11:45 AM ET
Historically the legacy P4s often would agree to 2-for-1 deals with G5
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 12:00 PM ET
2 out of 3 isn't bad. KU and Mizzou do not play every year, but
Big12 guy • 05/08/25 12:14 PM ET
I don't think VT could have played at Michigan giving the timing of when
VTHokie2000 • 05/08/25 12:23 PM ET
I've been to three games at Michigan. We should never play there.
Truthahn • 05/09/25 10:07 AM ET
I was surprised when VT announced a home-home series with Michigan because
VTHokie2000 • 05/09/25 10:14 AM ET
You’re probably looking at a school like
