Look guys, I’m just so mad about all this…
I yelled at Whit (here on a message board, I’m not a psychopath), got yelled at back by the boss (sorry David, enjoy your work) and just basically lost it. My apologies. I’m just so disgusted at the way KB handled all this. Leaving wasn’t surprising.My 7-yr old is devastated, as so many are. Still, I get the state of college sports, and it seemed inevitable. I’m disappointed players are leaving but they really should explore their options. But he could’ve had the decency (like Buzz did) to show some gratitude to the fan base here. We were a huge part in the growth of this program, from financial support to ticket sales, to merch, as well as traveling to see the team play. Just so low-class IMO. I think one day he’ll regret how he’s handled this. Anyway, looking forward to some good news from Whit soon. I do hope some of the ladies do stay. We are eager to support them in the off-season and on into next season. You can rebuild quickly in the portal and Tech is a very attractive destination. Let’s go!

Just imagine how Raven Kitley feels…………..🙁
How in the hell does a coach with integrity even talk with another team about a job switch before his present team plays in the NCAA tournament? Yep, he has no integrity.

If Raven starts wearing a blue wig I quit!

I doubt you will find many P5 coaches with integrity.

I've purposely not paid attention lately.... So, he has STILL not thanked
Hokie Nation for the amazing support and total buy-in over his tenure at Tech? I hoped he would have posted SOMETHING... yeah, people say it's just business, but that is a royal slap in the face. Even if it is disingenuous and boilerplate, he should AT LEAST close that chapter with a finishing sentence. Ridiculous. ** Edited by HokieSignGuy at 4/3/2024, 10:28:06 AM

Is what it IS.. All about $$$ ..And Not Giving $$$ ..NIL $$$
Maybe one day one these "gurus" that get paid will share the truth about VT and NIL $$$. New Era out here in college sports and $$$ leads to all things good and all things that are not so good. ,Whit knows ... KB Knows...

There is/was plenty of NIL $$ available.

Use it as a teaching moment to your 7yo not to worship coaches.

Arthur seems like a decent role model, at least.
Until he portals to becoming a Duke softball superfan or something. ** Edited by The_Phew at 4/3/2024, 10:34:18 AM
