....zzzz...
I lurk on some other boards (not a member) just to read the news, recruiting information, film study comments, etc. and honestly I am somewhat surprised at how ugly some VT followers are starting to get towards this program and the coaching staff, even some of the players at times. I have no problem with people being critical, but some people are kind of crossing the line IMO. I think we've been a little spoiled with the 10 win seasons and many fans expectations (not sure why??) seems to be that we should win the conference EVERY year and be competing for national titles. I get it. The program has taken a step back, Beamer is near the end of the line, we haven't been killing it on the recruiting trail, I get it.
We all love VT football, but damn...seriously! I hope most of us have something better to do than bitch and gripe about the "State of VT football" 24 hours a day. You would think that some people have real money/stock in a business (VT Football) and that the CEO and Senior VP (CFB/CBF) are running the company (and stock price) into the ground. This is a good program with good leadership (Whit) and I think we'll be back to what we are used to soon enough.
Just to be clear, I am not taking a shot at anyone on this board. All of us have been critical, some more than others, and that's OK. Its always done in a respectful manner by everyone. Criticism is fair when warranted.
I will say one thing...I don't know about TSL (don't read) and some of the other pay sights. But 247 (VTScoop) will never get my money. I appreciate what EGW, CZY, Matij and others do for that sight. They are top notch. But it has been taken over by pompous ass know-it-alls who are negative ALL of the time. Guys speaking in the third person. People that THINK their opinion really matters and will really make a difference on when CFB leaves and who the next man up will be. Its both sad, maddening, and hilarious all in the same when reading some of their posts.
As dead as Hokiehoopla has gotten, I am glad that we still take things pretty lightly over here (compared to most).
Heres to finishing the season strong and getting back to the ACCCG. I still think it could happen THIS year.
