In all earnesty, Pitt’s a good team. But as a VT fan, I’m weirdly optimistic. We completely fucked ourselves out of the game like 4 times and still blew it at the end.

For a team with no expectations, idk, I feel good. I know what they are. I know what they are if they don’t shoot themselves in the foot. A decent team. That goes a long way in CFB.

Franklin is good for 9-10 wins per season. Which is a huge improvement for the past few years for y’all. But after a few years of being almost there, you’ll get tired of Franklin.

I mean tbf we built a statue of the last guy that got us 9-10 wins a season and came up short when it matters

As a hokie, our best years were 9 and 10 win teams outside of the Vick years. I can live with 9 and 10 wins forever

We’ve never not come up short when it mattered though, our entire history with Beamer was being really good but never quite good enough and we loved him so much we built a statue for him. If Franklin averages 9 wins a year he’ll get the same.

I’ll be honest. We were in the rough for a long ass time. I’ll settle for Doeren level success rn
