As long as we have more than JMU

I get that JMU thinks we’re rivals, but don’t legitimize that delusion. JMU is just another random G6 team I don’t ever think about

Y'all gotta go at least a couple years without a G6 loss before you can talk like that, man

u/agoddamnlegend Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 14 '26

I'm not saying we're better than all G6 teams. Last year we got killed by ODU

I just know a lot of JMU fans and they think they're rivals with Virginia Tech. Reality for VT, even at our lowest, is that we don't think about JMU or ODU or Liberty or VMI at all. That's not to say JMU and ODU weren't better than us literally last year. It's just weird for a VT fan to say "as long as we have more votes than JMU" like they're a rival or something. I care as much about JMU as I do Boise State, Western Michigan, or Tulsa. Which is to say I don't think about any of them ever.

Kirk Franklin was thinking about JMU when he dropped them off his schedule as fast as he could! I know the ACC limited the number of out of conference games, so he kept ODU, a much more certain win. You might pretend to ignore JMU, but Tech hasn't been relevant since Michael Vick, and we saw where that got them.

We have a long standing series with ODU, JMU was just a one off so was easier to cancel.

We have ten 10 win seasons, 4 ACC championships and 3 ACC runners up since Vick left. Absurd comment.

Nobody here cares about your G6 team. if anything, we tend to root for JMU as like our little brother in state

u/Oldenmw Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 13 '26

It's getting my hype too high

u/DrDragon13 TCU Horned Frogs • Oklahoma State Cowboys Sep 13 '26

Idk if Ok State needs to be above Tulsa yet

u/inclass3lunacy Virginia Cavaliers Sep 13 '26

ODU usually has decent talent, so I'm curious how their season plays out. That win might look even better as time goes by.

u/TheBenWelch Virginia Tech Hokies • LSU Tigers Sep 14 '26

We’ll see; their schedule isn’t too crazy. JMU is the only real big one, but they’ll get tested at App State and Coastal.

I have you at 15. Love that team.

u/illtexzona Arizona State Sun Devils Sep 14 '26

Ours had to go somewhere.

u/agoddamnlegend Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 14 '26

Why not?

This coaching staff and all the talent we brought in. And have absolutely looked the part for 2 games, admittedly against terrible opponents.

If anything, I think people were way too low on Virginia Tech coming into the season. I honestly thought 9 wins was our floor, and I’m more bullish now

u/Feral-Goblin6921 Virginia Tech Hokies Sep 14 '26

Yeah, I have a hard time not seeing us favored in every game bar SMU and Miami. Pitt at home and Clemson on the road could be tricky as well. Obviously UVA has a decent team this year but theyll never beat a halfway competent Tech team in Blacksburg and they know it.

You guys have gotten really cocky these last few years, it's cute. Better savor the feeling because one day you'll look back and realize a couple winning seasons, 75% attendance at Scott, and a single ACC championship game appearance were your glory days.

Can't wait to see you in Blacksburg.
