Not to steal Chip’s thunder from his upcoming tale of the tape but
Scouting reports for this week: -Don’t walk people, come right at them None of the other 3 teams has a team BA above .284 -LSU & SAlabama however do have top 32 team pitching staff ERAs -S Alabama’s BA is .251 with 37 HR. But their ace has allowed 2 runs the last 3 games ** Edited by hokiepro at 5/12/2026, 8:31:59 AM

Thanks for whetting our appetite for Chip's full table of information.

What do you mean “not to steal Chip’s thunder”. You are doing it
and you know you’re doing it. Just got to have another opportunity to educate the masses with your “wisdom”.

I don’t call his comments enthusiasm. I call his comments coaching but mor—
More importantly complaining—2nd guessing.

I didn't mind that post at all. It's the small-sample size, in-game panic
that's ridiculous. Like, we were down 2 or 3 runs vs. Liberty & we were already being swept by UNC.

It’s a reverse mojo schtick/angst outlet
If you’ve not figured that out by now…well I guess I need to tell you. Some think it’s funny others don’t…if you don’t …just pass on by. I’ve tried to dampen it a bit and only throw one in once and a while to try to get us going…that’s literally it It pleases/amuses me when I’m “wrong” and we immediately blitz a team and people come in and shake fists telling me how wrong I was…sorry if you don’t get that ** Edited by hokiepro at 5/12/2026, 12:25:38 PM

Hate to break it to you, but posting on a message board has zero effect on
what happens in the field. I just don’t understand the overwhelming negative, doom-and-gloom, “woe is us” sentiment that’s predominant in this fanbase, & that you are a caricature of. Like, how do you post 90% negative when this is team is as good as it is? And why do so many people here feel the need to point out every perceived slight by the TV announcers, Jim Phillips’ stylist, or whoever’s in charge of updating the ACC bracket? Who ****ing cares if it’s not updated? We won! My responses (“shut down the program!”) are generally to point out how ridiculous you sound, also to counteract all the negativity. You’re not the only one who’s mostly negative, & the worst are the ones who post nothing about softball for weeks & then chime in after a loss. Ok. Rant over. Hope you’re doing well, pro. Go Hokies!

Yeah I’m fine for now
Chemo port goes in Friday…just hope I’m home and lucid in time for game time so if I’m not on during the game yall didn’t scare me off 😂 I get what you’re saying. It’s just been a long life of “close but no cigar fandom” I’m trying to have some fun with it and yeah it’s a little weird & superstitious. And of course I know nothing I say makes their performance change thanks for that enlightenment 😜

We each suffer through games in our own way. You post. I don't.
Except to complain about Live Stats and to 'egroan' occasionally.

My biggest gripe is Live Stats when its the only way I can follow the game.
This board is more informative and accurate at times.

What??? Don't you know that Hokie fans have psychic abilities, far beyond those of normal people? That they can smash an opponents' momentum, with a single well timed and magnificantly crafted post? 😇

I recall a saying, "Don't like my personality?"
"Then get on your knees tonight and thank God you're not me!" I just read and scroll. Read and scroll. And post non-controversial attempts at humor.
