I have no doubt about your comment about the tournament being rigged.

And yes, the game should be completed on Sunday as you state.

Is there no avenue to protest what Auburn did
VT81hokie • 02/10/24 08:29 PM ET
The best thing VT can do.......
2hhoop3 • 02/10/24 09:04 PM ET
Agree…
vthokieq • 02/10/24 09:46 PM ET
The thing is, Mickey’s antics are also costing Illinois and Belmont
HolidayInnHokie • 02/10/24 08:38 PM ET
This would cause me to question playing for him. Wouldn't quit my

You have something in common with this young lady
VTChip • 02/10/24 09:53 PM ET
Leaving JMU

Mickey will never change. He is who he is. Programs have tolerated him
VT One • 02/10/24 10:08 PM ET
With the portal in place, he will probably lose a lot more
RJHokie • 02/10/24 10:24 PM ET
Wow**
laphroaig • 02/10/24 10:01 PM ET
I’m surprised anyone plays for him anyway, particularly pitchers.
RJHokie • 02/10/24 08:50 PM ET
Tell me more.**
laphroaig • 02/10/24 08:54 PM ET
When he yanks the pitchers he just goes out there, motions them
RJHokie • 02/10/24 09:00 PM ET
Thinks he's a hard-ass, huh. He's no hard-ass. He's a bully.
laphroaig • 02/10/24 09:08 PM ET
Yep. That’s exactly what happened. **
RJHokie • 02/10/24 09:11 PM ET
OK. Two Mickey stories when he coached at Radford.
MidloHokie • 02/10/24 09:24 PM ET
I had heard he was bad news.
RJHokie • 02/10/24 09:27 PM ET
Word gets around.
RJHokie • 02/10/24 08:40 PM ET
You can, but it won’t change anything. Take the high road
RJHokie • 02/10/24 08:31 PM ET
Spot on**
TomA • 02/11/24 06:58 AM ET
We should 100% raise a stink about this and expose them for the cowards
IV_Hokie12 • 02/10/24 08:40 PM ET
Make sure softball publications spread the news!**
EDGEMAN • 02/11/24 07:44 AM ET
Nothing about making a stink would benefit the team. Coach D'Amour learned
HokieFanDC • 02/10/24 10:17 PM ET
It will be a he said/she said type of issue,
RJHokie • 02/10/24 08:44 PM ET
My understanding it is not a team's decision. It is ONLY THE UMPIRES...
jesuisvtguy • 02/10/24 09:11 PM ET
So with the weather clearing how is it that unbiased umpires make that call**
Italian Stallion • 02/10/24 09:15 PM ET
Agree. But in this case the school apparently canceled the game before
RJHokie • 02/10/24 09:14 PM ET
They can't, once the game starts it is totally the decision of the umps So
Blueboy • 02/10/24 10:14 PM ET
@MidloHokie recently posted a response to this.
RJHokie • 02/10/24 10:20 PM ET
That is probably what happened but it is not the rules of the game. If any
Blueboy • 02/10/24 10:27 PM ET
Tournament is rigged. What VT had done to them should from now on be
laphroaig • 02/11/24 04:36 AM ET
I have no doubt about your comment about the tournament being rigged. ◄
RJHokie • 02/10/24 10:29 PM ET
Thanks RJ. But the rules are seemingly clear that ONLY the umps can cancel.
HolidayInnHokie • 02/10/24 09:27 PM ET
So question…how did they cancel the following game.
vthokieq • 02/10/24 10:13 PM ET
Those refs were most likely SEC refs and just believed what
