Especially since we don't seem to have any advantage just due to our name like Notre Dame. We get disrespected a lot due to the Dunkenberger and Wolfe years. You would have thought after we made it to the Final Four that we would have gotten a little more respect, but it doesn't look like it. Georgia Tech has a bad record, but they are still dangerous and are basically playing a home game. Even if they don't have many fans come out, they didn't have to travel that far. Out of everything I have seen this year, Coach Duffy knows how to coach. Honestly if someone who should not be named was coaching this team, I don't think our record would be as good. Definitely would have lost some of those close games. I really believe we got an upgrade in terms of coaches in more ways than one! We are lucky to have her, and I hope she stays around. Wenzel, Baker, Nelson, and Suffren sticking around obviously has also made this team who they are. Without them, we might have been back in the dweller of the ACC. They are what you call true Hokies! I hope that core specifically sticks around for next season. I also hope that Sears stays. You just never know in today's world unfortunately. Loyalty to a program doesn't seem to be a thing anymore. So, when you get those type of players now, they are special. Especially when they could have other options. I don't know how much NIL money has been eaten up by the football team, but I hope we are in good shape to where we can continue to get better and better. We have the right coach for that. If someone told me you have the choice of going back to the one who should not be named or staying with Coach Duffy, to me it would be a no brainer. Coach Duffy all the way! It just scares me that if we don't have the funds to get good players with then she won't stick around long. Those of us who have been around since the Bonnie years have been through it, both the ups and downs. The downs being after Dunkenberger and Wolfe took over. It is nice to see a team having fun again and winning the right way. Also, don't get me started about Dunkenberger showing up for the 50th anniversary event. The audacity amazes me! I will leave it at that. Sorry for the long post, I haven't posted hardly anything all season. I needed to get all of that out.
