A new "Up the Coast with Alex and Britt" is up
VTChip • 04/29/26 02:04 PM ET
And didn't help VT much, if any, with the sweep**
TomTurkey • 04/29/26 02:07 PM ET
...because we got pounded by Liberty midweek after losing 2 to a subpar GT.**
HoakieBS • 04/29/26 06:22 PM ET
GT is in the tourney field projections and just lost a 1 run game AND 9 inn
hokiepro • 04/29/26 07:54 PM ET
Pounded???! It was 10-9**
VTChip • 04/29/26 07:12 PM ET
Honestly the 10-9 makes it worse from a . . .
MidloHokie • 04/30/26 07:49 AM ET
My bad, i guess i was remembering the 9-0 pounding we put on them AWAY
HoakieBS • 04/29/26 08:43 PM ET
Not a cookie cutter sport. While you're correct, "On any given day!" **
TomTurkey • 04/30/26 10:56 AM ET
Just ignore him. He's one who throws cowcrap against the wall to see if it
ancient alien 2018 • 04/29/26 07:55 PM ET
Well, his screen name does end in BS...**
HokieNL • 04/29/26 07:58 PM ET
Some of us don't mess around.**
vatechcowpatty • 04/29/26 08:44 PM ET
Excellent point!!!**
ancient alien 2018 • 04/29/26 08:02 PM ET
Yeah, maybe 10 runs to a small degree, but my exact reaction.**
TomTurkey • 04/29/26 07:30 PM ET
What's sad is Tech would be in much better position to host
RVAHokie05 • 04/29/26 04:34 PM ET
Yeah, ask Oklahoma State Cowgirls! Same exact thing, now they are playing
PokieHokie • 04/30/26 03:03 PM ET
OSU was in Clearwater. They are 'playing better' because . . .
MidloHokie • 05/01/26 06:56 AM ET
What is overlooked is that of the top 30 RPI we have the lowest # of Home
HoakieBS • 04/29/26 06:32 PM ET
Again, another scheduling issue. I understand weather concerns but . .
MidloHokie • 04/29/26 09:45 PM ET
Chicken .... egg.
Will StewartAdmin • 04/30/26 12:07 AM ET
but the ticket revenue doesn't get funneled back to the SB team.
Chesapeake_Hokie • 04/30/26 08:30 AM ET
Is that a bad thing? What the market will bear?
TomTurkey • 04/30/26 10:52 AM ET
Suppose everyone felt that way?
RRHokie90 • 04/30/26 01:48 PM ET
Ive used your quote several dozen times. ◄
TomTurkey • 04/30/26 02:15 PM ET
And why couldn't that be changed?
VTChip • 04/30/26 08:33 AM ET
I agree. Maybe with the new administration**
Chesapeake_Hokie • 04/30/26 08:36 AM ET
Every(darn)thing doesn't have to be done with the same rules & limitations.
laphroaig • 04/30/26 08:49 AM ET
Yep. That's a legit take. Bottom line Softball is objectively one . . .
MidloHokie • 04/30/26 07:41 AM ET
Here's where I get confused
Raleigh Hokie • 04/30/26 11:10 AM ET
He’s his boss, those that don’t say that get fired.**
Stech • 04/30/26 08:37 PM ET
Nah, it's much deeper than that
Raleigh Hokie • 04/30/26 09:40 PM ET
Ok**
Stech • 05/01/26 02:37 AM ET
Pete knew Whit from working as an assistant coach at Missouri.
RJHokie • 04/30/26 10:07 PM ET
Pete probably understands the pecking order in finances better than us.
TomTurkey • 04/30/26 02:36 PM ET
The next "creative out-of-the-box thinking" fm the old Admin ...
Atlee Hokie • 04/30/26 08:43 AM ET
Here's the thing. Back before Whit hired Pete D'Amour ....
Will StewartAdmin • 04/30/26 09:05 AM ET
Interesting.
Atlee Hokie • 04/30/26 02:42 PM ET
@VTChip 's story of "manager for a day" is volume II
TomTurkey • 04/30/26 10:47 AM ET
That actually happened 10 years ago today
VTChip • 04/30/26 01:47 PM ET
@Ancient Hokie says "hear hear" to the story of the 5 year old...
TomTurkey • 04/30/26 02:19 PM ET
There's a name I haven't seen in a long time.
Atlee Hokie • 04/30/26 02:57 PM ET
Still here, buddy.
Ancient Hokie • 05/14/26 11:29 AM ET
The name referred to a pair of socks
TomTurkey • 04/30/26 03:07 PM ET
Understand he signed away a lot of control. Not good. Easy, less to do,
laphroaig • 04/30/26 08:53 AM ET
can you elaboarate on this please ?
Chesapeake_Hokie • 04/30/26 01:48 PM ET
@saret can explain it better. Bottom line, when you hire outside
laphroaig • 04/30/26 02:31 PM ET
@Chesapeake_Hokie , perhaps I can help here. During Whit's
saret • 04/30/26 03:57 PM ET
In the Greenbier section, lived here virtually (more)
Chesapeake_Hokie • 04/30/26 04:18 PM ET
I'm very familiar with the Greenbriar area, having lived there from
saret • 04/30/26 04:25 PM ET
sure will . . .
Chesapeake_Hokie • 04/30/26 04:31 PM ET
Strike while the iron (and fanbase) is hot!**
TomTurkey • 04/30/26 08:26 AM ET
I believe the DSR and KPI metrics consider that.
RJHokie • 04/29/26 06:39 PM ET
Yep. Pete needs to reassess his scheduling. If he can't get a . . .
MidloHokie • 04/29/26 04:43 PM ET
Who would have thought Georgia, Auburn, and USC would struggle???**
VTChip • 04/29/26 05:34 PM ET
You're making my point. Those are host teams. You need play somewhere .
MidloHokie • 04/29/26 05:56 PM ET
SC was projected top 15; Auburn top 25
hokiepro • 04/29/26 08:05 PM ET
I understand the nuances of scheduling having a daughter who . .
MidloHokie • 04/29/26 09:39 PM ET
But, but, they are SEC teams where it "just means more!"**
