We were absolutely a national brand. ESPN crowned us one of the -- NokieHokie 05/07/2021 7:25PM Obviously this response is not to you. -- VTCALS72 05/08/2021 08:36AM We were a Cinderella for a long time. Frank just would not do the necessary -- NokieHokie 05/08/2021 12:26PM Agreed, I remember getting annoyed at how overrated we were. -- Hokie 04 05/08/2021 08:12AM We/VT kept pooping our pants. Messing the bed on the big stage -- 91HokieBob 05/07/2021 11:59PM Yep. Losing to Kansas told me that as a program VT just could not get -- HokieNLot11 05/08/2021 5:23PM ESPN tried to prop us up, but Frank kept sweeping the leg underneath us... ** -- NokieHokie 05/08/2021 12:01AM So you really believe that Frank Beamer was THE major weakness? -- VTCALS72 05/08/2021 08:39AM Both can be true at the same time... ** -- NokieHokie 05/08/2021 12:23PM Yes indeedy!

It would be fun to have a high level of competition -- WildTurkE 05/07/2021 4:18PM It is possible that VT may have been forced to adapt instead of being -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2021 12:58AM Meh, we lost to Liberty, ODU and JMU. Me thinks we peaked ** -- WildTurkE 05/08/2021 1:44PM Every program, including the blue bloods, have at least 1 bad loss -- VTHokie2000 05/11/2021 8:35PM They didn't want Mizzou, they wanted us. But we have an ACC worship fetish. ** -- NokieHokie 05/07/2021 12:40PM And what has this "ACC fetish" really bought us, that the SEC couldn't ? ** -- FLKEYSHOKIE 05/07/2021 8:48PM Exactly right, and still believe the ACC didn't really want us at the time. ** -- hokie77 05/07/2021 1:19PM There's no doubt the ACC didn't want us. Well documented. -- Hokie 04 05/08/2021 08:14AM I've heard that the SEC wanted us instead of Mizzou several times -- HartwoodHokie 05/07/2021 1:09PM The smoke is that we were approached, but declined. ** -- NokieHokie 05/07/2021 1:13PM IMHO Tech not going into the SEC was a bad decision. I believe that -- HokieNLot11 05/14/2021 1:36PM I agree 100%! ** -- NokieHokie 05/14/2021 1:43PM I've heard that before, but does anyone have any real details? ** -- HartwoodHokie 05/07/2021 1:28PM F'n Weaver would have used airport runway length as a reason. -- Hokie 04 05/08/2021 08:18AM While that answer..... -- 2hhoop3 05/08/2021 7:45PM I don't remember what kind of details were available at the time, but all -- NokieHokie 05/07/2021 1:50PM A well kept secret ! ** -- FLKEYSHOKIE 05/07/2021 8:52PM Yeah like who sent out the smoke? -- VTCALS72 05/07/2021 1:46PM We would have been the natural book-end for the Texas A&M addition, the -- Tuckahokie 05/07/2021 11:26AM We are better off in ACC than SEC….being in B1G would be better than both ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 05/07/2021 12:05PM B1G = SEC tv money but ACC-level competition ** -- Pride_and_Joy 05/07/2021 12:46PM Would we have done better than Mizzou? With our fan base that doesn't -- UTPr0sim 05/07/2021 08:20AM Not sure I ever saw us have a SEC caliber recruiting staff ($$$$). ** -- UTPr0sim 05/07/2021 4:13PM Yes -- crazylane 05/07/2021 2:05PM This is a good argument in favor. -- Pride_and_Joy 05/07/2021 3:49PM I think it would be incredibly different. No way Fu survives... -- njhokie06 05/07/2021 09:33AM We probably wouldn’t have hired Fuente in the first place. ** -- Pride_and_Joy 05/07/2021 3:50PM We would be doing much better in football. We would -- BaldHokie 05/07/2021 08:18AM Lane was full when we were winning, now seldom a sell out -- 83Hokie 05/13/2021 9:05PM Exactly -- crazylane 05/07/2021 9:53PM If A&M is a litmus I don't think it matches your opinion -- DallasHokie98 05/07/2021 2:28PM We would have zero SEC hardware -- crazylane 05/08/2021 07:10AM I do think it might have a moved the needle a little on recruiting -- TekkNerd 05/07/2021 1:23PM To quote nature boy Rick Flair, “if you don’t cheat, you can’t -- The Big Cat 05/07/2021 12:33PM Or any other conference... ** -- NokieHokie 05/07/2021 12:41PM This is wishful thinking. VT would be just another Mizzou, SC, MSSt, etc ** -- marcbvtgm 05/07/2021 12:07PM I disagree. We would get eaten alive by the machine. -- YardBird 05/07/2021 10:02AM You don't think VT (and its fans) would find a way to get over -- VTHokie2000 05/07/2021 11:44AM No, I don’t think so. -- YardBird 05/07/2021 4:24PM Thanks for your opinion. It is an interesting hypothetical to talk about. ** -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2021 12:09AM It remains to be seen if they have even gotten over the ACC curve -- Synaesthesia 05/07/2021 12:38PM You may be right. However, when I was a student at VT in the late 90s -- VTHokie2000 05/08/2021 12:38AM I doubt ...... -- 2hhoop3 05/07/2021 11:54AM Even if 70/75K doesn't move the needle in the SEC -- VTHokie2000 05/07/2021 12:22PM Yep, I think we'd be comparable to Mizzou ** -- BROman Hokie 05/07/2021 11:27AM Exactly what was said when VT joined the Big East football conference -- hokiewasp 05/07/2021 10:59AM Why? because we had our once in a generation HOF coach? ** -- VTCALS72 05/07/2021 1:54PM We had a coach with ability & a vision--- we have neither now ** -- hokiewasp 05/07/2021 5:19PM Also said about the ACC..... -- 2hhoop3 05/07/2021 11:58AM VT would be a different animal with SEC revenue ** -- hokiewasp 05/07/2021 12:30PM Speaking of animals, Auburn and LSU were 6-4 & 5-5 respectively last season -- WildTurkE 05/07/2021 1:11PM True, but last year was all conference games -- Hokie 04 05/08/2021 08:35AM Auburn got a new coach @ 6-4 VT got FU'ed again @5-6 ** -- hokiewasp 05/07/2021 1:14PM BINGO! ** -- NokieHokie 05/07/2021 12:41PM Yeah, VT's early dominance of the ACC was surprising.

Huge failure of leadership! ** -- NokieHokie 05/07/2021 1:51PM Whole sales pitch: give money and you can buy football tickets! -- reestuart 05/07/2021 2:09PM Seller's market for a while. Probably masked by the "sellout" smokescreen. -- TomTurkey 05/07/2021 4:30PM You pay for the product not the "feel good" attitude $$ makes $$ ** -- hokiewasp 05/07/2021 1:05PM Yep. We would be a perpetual "bottom feeder" in SEC football. -- EDGEMAN 05/07/2021 10:23AM It shouldn't come as that big of a surprise since college football -- VTHokie2000 05/07/2021 12:29PM But at least we'd have a better conference TV network to watch our losses ** -- WildTurkE 05/07/2021 10:50AM We could very easily, if not most likely, be in worse shape for football -- hoosnowahokie 05/07/2021 08:46AM Yeah, the bottom could have dropped out just as easily as the opposite. -- reestuart 05/07/2021 10:51AM VT football likely UK, MSST, or S.
