Waiting for the next team to breakthrough. Nats, Caps, Hokies, Commanders and Mystics mostly.
Why does every LLM comment read like it should end with Tommy Needy Drinky?

Yeah I'm hoping he can start pushing into Penn St territory up north and UNC territory as long as Belichek is around.

If Franklin can replicate what he did at Penn State, maintain a 9-10 win talent level, but struggle against top 10 teams that will be great for Virginia Tech because the ACC doesn't have top 10 teams.

The unique circumstances of college sports: recruiting, wildly different budgets, wildly different sized cities, housing being a team issue, etc. make it impossible to know if a coach will succeed at a different school regardless of their prior level of success.

Yeah the problem is the popular perception is that if you keep playing a guy who used to be good and he never figures it out that's his fault, but if you replace a vet with a young guy who struggles that's the team's fault.

Yeah that's a good point

In the past I could see them hype a game they don't have just because they might have that team's game next week. Now that there's no chance they air a B1G game I'm sure they're always thinking of skipping them.

Although sadly this means we miss out on ESPN making a JMU Gameday all about James Franklin at VT and Chesney likely going to Penn St
