You know you are wasting your time, right? He ain't coming back.

I'm not calling Beamer a liar, but there is a lot of history on this subject that pretty much tells a different story.
The problem you guys have is that you get to a point where you have a special team or season, but you can't be in the same conversation as the big boys. That's all I'm saying. You control that.
If VT means to be regarded in the top tier, and considering that the ACC is pretty darned mediocre, you've got to have 2 intersectional games against top 20 talent, better if one is top 15 or better. Without that, it's just a broken record.
On the schedule note, I heard a radio interview with Beamer before the season started in which he talked about the OOC schedule. He was trying to be diplomatic and not call the teams that were there crap, but he basically indicated that they were working on some things that didn't pan out. He knew this was a soft schedule, and he was trying to say it wasn't what was intended to be, but the timing of the deals that they made with the other schools just kind of happened this way. It's silly to say that Tech "ducks" teams, though. I think history has proven that it is not the case.
Was prob refering to the chick-fil-a game. I thought i remembered hearing that we tried real hard to get back into that, but it just didnt work out.
Also its a long shot that this ever happens but VT and Tenn have been trying to work out a game @ Bristol Motor Speedway for a long time.
We have Ohio State, Wisconsin, K State and a few others in coming years....Bama in 29013....

Not sure playing Tennessee is in VT's best interest now-a-days. They are 'turribul'. Dooley can't handle the SEC competition.
We'll see. Logan will be a senior, so......it could be interesting.
Listen to you guys ... you're all making the point of being sort of nervous about playing the big games against the big boys. There are two ways to go: basically dominate a weak ACC and rise according your record and hope for a shot, or man up against a couple of stud teams OOC every season and, if you win, get the respect. There's not really any other way. I say "ducking" because even UVA can go home and home with USC_W, Penn State, UCLA, and even TCU. There's no reason that VT can't do likewise. And that's why VT's Saragin is 22.
I'm actually not bitching at you. I'm saying that a program that has won so much ought to be looking to playing up, and nobody thinks that VT is interested. That's not my view, that's everybody's view. Weaver and Beamer need to go for the gold, or else everybody will keep dissing. Just sayin ...
