Who cares about Redneck U? -- ARKHOO Fri Jun 1 2012 1:26:40 PM |

Obviously, not any of the Hoos on The Sabre ** -- Tuckahoke Fri Jun 1 2012 3:18:42 PM |

Well...clearly, you do. ** -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 1:53:38 PM |

Isn't in everybody's interest for VT to go to the Big 12? -- Molina Fri Jun 1 2012 10:33:43 AM |
|
No, perception would be weakened ACC, which just needs to win more important OOC -- Blaze01 Fri Jun 1 2012 11:05:35 AM |

Ship them and BC to anywhere, and we're all better off. -- ChattaHOOga Fri Jun 1 2012 11:00:56 AM |

BC is appealing to pretty much no one -- HooShotYa Fri Jun 1 2012 12:08:42 PM |

Atlantic 10 is a good fit ** -- Molina Fri Jun 1 2012 1:55:27 PM |

I think VT would shrug off Big XII. -- Battman Fri Jun 1 2012 10:43:39 AM |

You broke the code. If FSU/CU go to the Big12, VT probably ends up in the SEC. -- TechCutter Fri Jun 1 2012 2:49:56 PM |

Where have you been the last 4 years? -- ftcHokies Fri Jun 1 2012 3:05:21 PM |

Hokie..This isn't about beating you the last 4 yrs. It's about winning seasons -- uvaskinsfan Fri Jun 1 2012 3:19:18 PM |

Only 1 winning season in the last 4 years i believe ** -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 3:22:32 PM |

I support both boards, but thanks. ** -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 5:15:30 PM |

YES.. Your right.. Last year.. ** -- uvaskinsfan Fri Jun 1 2012 3:27:50 PM |

VT had 3 bcs conference championships prior to Groh... -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 11:29:03 AM |

Had to look it up...3 of 13 (1991-2003) Big East Titles -- Battman Fri Jun 1 2012 4:42:59 PM |

BCS started in '98. '99 was your only BCS appearance pre-ACC I think ** -- Diehl Fri Jun 1 2012 12:42:49 PM |
|
Sorry..."alliance bowl" which essentially was the same thing. ** -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 12:46:10 PM |
|
I hear ya, but UConn, 'Cuse, and Cincinnati are Big East co-champs too -- Diehl Fri Jun 1 2012 12:48:25 PM |
|
Sure...i can agree to that...good, but not great. Although -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 12:54:04 PM |
|
I would say very good even, just not elite - similar to now ** -- Diehl Fri Jun 1 2012 12:59:44 PM |
|
AG helped, but give Beamer his due. The man can both recruit and coach. ** -- StLouHoo Fri Jun 1 2012 11:16:17 AM |

Nailed it. Their legacy is built on the backs of 3rd/4th/5th/7th (Ore) chances. ** -- CDCHoo Fri Jun 1 2012 2:58:54 PM |

Beamer's good.His job made easier by AG who managed to P off almost every HS -- uvaskinsfan Fri Jun 1 2012 11:31:40 AM |
|
Ok, this i agree with :) ** -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 11:34:08 AM |

Beamer already was on a decent roll before AG came in ** -- HokieJamie Fri Jun 1 2012 11:34:03 AM |
|
Yeah, Hoos kept "the old salt" 3-4 yrs. too long! -- KABASHA63 Fri Jun 1 2012 6:49:21 PM |
|
Absolutely. I think Bud Foster has been the key - D has carried team so often -- Diehl Fri Jun 1 2012 12:45:43 PM |
|
Exactly. And if the DBs avoid injuries this year, this could be the best VT -- TechCutter Fri Jun 1 2012 2:54:20 PM |

You all will probably when the National TItle this year! ** -- KABASHA63 Fri Jun 1 2012 6:50:26 PM |
|
Re: You all will probably win the National TItle this year! ** -- KABASHA63 Fri Jun 1 2012 7:10:11 PM |

It will be the worst VT defense ever fielded by Foster. ** -- LigeCav Fri Jun 1 2012 5:10:25 PM |

I don't know that I agree with that. Once Vick left, I think -- hawkb Fri Jun 1 2012 12:07:09 PM |

Groh's recruiting was pretty good in the beginning and middle... -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 12:23:44 PM |

He soured relationship very early on including Hampton's Smith -- Diehl Fri Jun 1 2012 12:50:02 PM |

Uh, Tech was 6-3 against scUM before joining the ACC. We have been -- TechCutter Fri Jun 1 2012 10:33:17 AM |

Neat. ** -- KaHOOnah Fri Jun 1 2012 10:37:17 AM |
|
And how many of those 6 wins came during or just after Miami was on probation? ** -- The Schm-Hoo Fri Jun 1 2012 10:35:48 AM |
|
We are 12-5 against scUM since 1995. That's almost as good as being -- TechCutter Fri Jun 1 2012 2:57:24 PM |
|
With every single win by VT against Miami...Miami has been on probation ** -- Tuckahoke Fri Jun 1 2012 11:23:38 AM |

You could say the same about VT in the Big East. -- Battman Fri Jun 1 2012 10:31:56 AM |
|
3 (2 of them co-champs) in ~12 seasons ** -- Diehl Fri Jun 1 2012 1:24:26 PM |
|
Exactly, Beamer, along with having Foster during his run, has been a huge -- HooBauer Fri Jun 1 2012 1:11:54 PM |
|
The point I'm making is VT's timing has been fortuitous, and may be again. -- Battman Fri Jun 1 2012 10:39:03 AM |
|
The difference with the SEC analogy is they have more depth... -- HokieJamie Fri Jun 1 2012 11:22:02 AM |
|
I understand that; still, I think VT would do better than most in the SEC. ** -- Battman Fri Jun 1 2012 12:18:48 PM |
|
I think they would be similar to uga...just my opin ** -- Lake MonticellHokie Fri Jun 1 2012 12:24:28 PM |

If VT joined the Big12, I could see UT and OK drop off periodically -- andLeftyToo Fri Jun 1 2012 10:26:08 AM |

Texas has probably been down (for them) more than up -- KCHoo Fri Jun 1 2012 10:59:43 AM |

Good point. -- Battman Fri Jun 1 2012 10:45:19 AM |

Absolutely correct. ** -- The Schm-Hoo Fri Jun 1 2012 10:19:13 AM |
