They're currently losing to Marshall 24-10 which would be their 3rd straight loss. Last year they were 3-8 in a season that featured a loss to Old Dominion and a 7 game losing streak.

Beamer wept.

I had to look up VA Tech's coach's name to say he sucks.

Brent Pry sucks.

Why are they trying to start home and rivalries with every regional sunbelt school they can find?

They’ve lost to OD a few times. Keep making dumb hires. I assume they will try and poach Beamer after this latest disaster is fired.

They lost their strangle hold on the Norfolk area in recruiting.

VT used to be good largely because Beamer was a great coach.

Well Fuente ruined them. Now they have a guy who had zero head coaching experience. They are going to have some bumps in the road

He seemed to alienate fan base and boosters and doesn’t like to Recruit or put effort into recruiting and he doesn’t exactly have a welcoming personality

I don’t see a revival either, which sucks because Lane Stadium is awesome and they’re in a fertile recruiting area

Football in VA this year is beyond terrible. UVA will go 1-11/0-12 and Tech is not much better.

Just awful football at the major schools in the state.

That program blows outside of Beamer’s run.

He recruited the shite out of Virginia, always had stud running backs and even some good QBs outside of the Vick brothers, had studs on defense. Those days are gone.

They’ve just returned to normal.

Pry would be owed $13.7 million to frick off after this season. They already paid Fuente $9 million to take a hike

There was Virginia Tech before Frank Beamer and then there was Virginia Tech during Frank Beamer. What you are seeing now is what Virginia Tech looked like before Frank Beamer.

VA Tech was an awful program before they landed a generational coach and they’re awful after.

Beamer at his peak would have won multiplie nattys at a big school

Why does Va Tech continue to schedule road games at nearby smaller schools? Lost at ODU in 2018 and last year and now this. Went to ECU in 2017 but beat the shite out of them.

Not only that, BOTH coordinators have no experience as OC or DC either. What a bunch of idiots to hire a completely green staff.
