Ah...I see now...you're trying to be cute.

You were provided with evidence that should've at least made you reconsider the absolute nature of your post above and now you want to focus on JUST the scholar side. Even though you know that wasn't the intent of the original question that started this thread. You think it provides you your "out". The problem is you put her on the same pedestal with Vick and then try hang your hat on just the academic side. Yeah...that doesn't work...because Queen and Tincher would still belong in that conversation with their accomplishments on just the athletic side, just as Vick. Nobody is saying Kitley doesn't belong in the conversation...the argument is that these others that you so easily dismissed do as well. Perhaps it's you that's being obtuse.

FloydsBarberShop • 01/24/24 10:03 AM ET
Yes...Chris Smith...the most overooked VT star.**
HokieJack • 01/24/24 12:41 PM ET
Agree. If 4 sports, Dell Curry over Bruce**
TomTurkey • 01/23/24 05:44 PM ET
Do top 4 by decade and then see what choices you have. **

Spyridon Julian was an all american all 4 years he was here and two time
Hokebury • 01/23/24 12:48 PM ET
I'd probably put Queen Harrison above him though.

Great minds. Posting at the same time about the best.**
MR TECH • 01/23/24 09:46 AM ET
He only played 3 years too because Freshman couldn't play**
StautonHokie • 01/23/24 10:07 AM ET
Don't forget Chris Smith, Best men's basketball player Tech ever had.
MR TECH • 01/23/24 09:43 AM ET
I think in terms of individual achievement that would be the list ...
vt90 • 01/23/24 08:28 AM ET
Don't forget Carroll Dale as a Hokie & Gr. Bay Packer**
George Baylor • 01/23/24 08:09 AM ET
Need separate one for individual vs team sports
hokiepro • 01/23/24 07:10 AM ET
And maybe pre-2000 and post-2000 players **
DGHOKIE • 01/23/24 10:57 AM ET
Tough one but has to include Frank Loris **
DGHOKIE • 01/23/24 06:52 AM ET
Frank Loris? Who is that? Frank Loria from the sixties.**

Yes**
DGHOKIE • 01/23/24 10:51 AM ET
Mekhi Lewis?**
Va AandM • 01/23/24 05:35 AM ET
Queen Harrison, Bruce Smith, Michael Vick, Dell Curry, Bimbo Coles**
Hokietech • 01/23/24 06:57 AM ET
There is no world in which Bimbo makes it over Liz. Not even close.
King of Hokies • 01/23/24 09:22 AM ET
Bold statements.
vthokieq • 01/23/24 03:58 PM ET
You don't have to agree about the student athlete thing-- it's already been
King of Hokies • 01/23/24 05:41 PM ET
What are you talking about wrt Queen?
hokiepro • 01/24/24 01:23 AM ET
Yes, she did. We also have plenty of field athletes that won multiple NCAA
King of Hokies • 01/24/24 12:51 PM ET
I agree individual & team are very different
hokiepro • 01/24/24 04:54 PM ET
I was referring to the Olympic golds, not the NCAA ones. People act like
King of Hokies • 01/25/24 01:11 AM ET
She didn’t win any Olympic gold
hokiepro • 01/25/24 06:30 AM ET
Correct...Queen never won an Olympic medal.
vthokieq • 01/25/24 08:12 AM ET
Nothing has been decided for me at all.
vthokieq • 01/23/24 05:49 PM ET
The ACC decided it. Liz has received the Woman Scholar Athlete of the year
King of Hokies • 01/23/24 11:57 PM ET
Ah...I see now...you're trying to be cute. ◄
vthokieq • 01/24/24 06:39 AM ET
No argument from me on Liz's worthiness but Bimbo is there.
Hokietech • 01/23/24 12:28 PM ET
Lol, everyone telling me to study these athletes that I already know
King of Hokies • 01/23/24 05:45 PM ET
This is getting embarrassing for you. A King should have a research staff
hokiepro • 01/25/24 08:37 AM ET
Probably because you don't seem to know as much as you think you do.
vthokieq • 01/24/24 06:43 AM ET
Tincher definitely surpasses Liz. AT won numerous national awards and of
86TechHokie • 01/23/24 12:18 PM ET
Sorry, she played a team sport and her teams never got that far on a
King of Hokies • 01/24/24 12:01 AM ET
LOL…she literally pitched 14 shutout innings in WCWS
hokiepro • 01/25/24 08:31 AM ET
Uh...you're embarrassing yourself now.
vthokieq • 01/24/24 06:48 AM ET
Thank you. Plus she led Tech to it's only 2 ACC tournament championships.
86TechHokie • 01/24/24 07:54 AM ET
The only thing the recent softball teams accomplished greater than AT teams
hokiepro • 01/25/24 08:34 AM ET
Tincher feat**
TomTurkey • 01/23/24 03:41 PM ET
Will wait until Lewis finishes his VT career. Was 2018 Junior World Champ**
Va AandM • 01/23/24 07:06 AM ET
I would put Queen Harrison on before Kitley
UpperQuad • 01/23/24 12:46 AM ET
Liz, Dell, Tyrod, Mike Vick**
ONELLY • 01/22/24 11:07 PM ET
Bruce over Dell or Tyrod
hokiepro • 01/23/24 07:13 AM ET
Not to mention he went #1 in the NFL draft
EDGEMAN • 01/23/24 10:30 AM ET
Bruce is worthy. But this is my personal top 4.**
ONELLY • 01/23/24 08:05 AM ET
DeAngelo Hall or Tyrod Taylor**
carhokies • 01/22/24 10:44 PM ET
Probably **
