What's this?

Ha. None of the above. Just someone who


supports my alma mater, has had children who did play sports, and has observed much of the undeserved hate and negativity on this board from a handful of people directed at players and coaches that don't deserve it.

I have participated in running very large businesses as a partner (ie, help pay the bills), advisor and board member at one time, for over 30 years so I have some experience with what is productive and unproductive. I don't run VT and I don't have shares in VT (and neither do you, respectfully -- even if you are a HC member). I don't question anyone's right to express disappointment when we lose a game, but I wouldn't take the approach of the posters to whom I alluded in my OP. That's not helpful to anyone at VT, and would be bad for business if it were a business. Just my humble opinion, of course.
