carhokies • 11/24/22 06:20 AM ET
Liberty also has track & field facilities that are better than VT's
UpperQuad • 11/22/22 04:03 PM ET
And basketball and baseball is at least as good, debatably better

EDGEMAN • 11/22/22 01:32 PM ET

See, this is exactly what I'm talking about when posting so much about
91HokieBob • 11/21/22 12:11 PM ET
In some ways I agree with you, BUT there's another side of the equation
VTChip • 11/20/22 09:26 AM ET
^^^THIS^^^ NO IT"S NOT CRAZY! It's an expectation we deserve as a P5 major
