But even this site is different than HokieSports.

It’s independent whereas HokieSports (and likewise the Auburn site) is directly tied to and run by the respective athletic department. This example is akin to a company putting out their own press release on their own website and leaving out incriminating facts. If anyone believes that’s gospel, that’s on them. But bias is expected. It’s certainly not some condemnation about the media as a whole (and believe me, I’m not one to defend the media).

The mythical 7th inning never happened! You must be imagining things.
HolidayInnHokie • 02/10/24 09:16 PM ET
Auburn's own web site is not the media.**
schubee • 02/10/24 09:01 PM ET
It is a type of media, no?
GCHokieof91 • 02/10/24 09:07 PM ET
"The media" is unaffiliated, IMO. Auburntigers.com represents the team.**
schubee • 02/10/24 09:21 PM ET
Yes it is and it conveniently left out certain facts**
Italian Stallion • 02/10/24 09:17 PM ET
I’m not sure I get your point here.
vthokieq • 02/10/24 08:51 PM ET
Yes Tech can. My point is that
GCHokieof91 • 02/10/24 08:55 PM ET
I get that. Just wouldn’t really refer to them as “media”. 😉
vthokieq • 02/10/24 09:13 PM ET
That website is definitely media. And yes, definitely biased.

What a dirty program they are and always have been
sacramento hokie • 02/10/24 08:37 PM ET
Auburn has more NCAA violations than any other school.
RJHokie • 02/10/24 09:21 PM ET
Yep, they don't always have to lie to spread misinformation. Omitting
WVHokie84 • 02/10/24 08:33 PM ET
Yeah, that sure sugar coated what actually happened at the end. ,**
RJHokie • 02/10/24 08:28 PM ET
We should never agree to play Auburn again.
IV_Hokie12 • 02/10/24 08:28 PM ET
Absolutely true.
Atlee Hokie • 02/10/24 08:36 PM ET
In the meantime, I hope the gals take out their frustrations on Illinois
WVHokie84 • 02/10/24 08:34 PM ET
Let me guess.... Auburn plays Belmont tomorrow afternoon?**
hokie77 • 02/10/24 08:37 PM ET
Yeah, maybe Belmont will rise to the occasion and beat them. **
RJHokie • 02/10/24 09:22 PM ET
If Belmont is winning mid-7th, the sprinklers will come on.
HolidayInnHokie • 02/10/24 09:59 PM ET
You can almost guarantee it!**
RJHokie • 02/10/24 10:04 PM ET
Yeppers...**
WVHokie84 • 02/10/24 08:40 PM ET
Part of me agrees, but Illinois didn’t do anything wrong.
IV_Hokie12 • 02/10/24 08:37 PM ET
Well Illinois is in the B1G. In my opinion, no other incentive is needed to
dallasvt • 02/10/24 09:00 PM ET
Agreed. Not IL's fault. But someone needs to pay.
WVHokie84 • 02/10/24 08:42 PM ET
Another 18-1 or 18-0 game might be in order. **
RJHokie • 02/10/24 08:35 PM ET
Absolutely. Just to prove a point who the best team is.
WVHokie84 • 02/10/24 08:49 PM ET
That would be one of the funniest happening ever. An old man can dream.**
Atlee Hokie • 02/10/24 09:28 PM ET
You calling me old? :-)**
WVHokie84 • 02/10/24 09:37 PM ET
No. Calling me old. And if 84 is your class, I have you beat by a mile.
Atlee Hokie • 02/10/24 10:19 PM ET
LOL! LOVE IT!
