VT outscored 62-0 in last 4 quarters

Is it though? I mean they captured lightning in a bottle when they paid recruited Vick. Other than that what have they really done? Some good years but never really a contender.
I always thought it was an awesome college football atmosphere at Lane Stadium. They had a bunch of good players for a while. It was big deal when Dino beat them at home a few years ago. I don’t know. Maybe I have a soft spot for old big east teams? I hated the lollipop Beamer stuff and do like to beat them. I just didn’t see a day when they would be down 31 points to old dominion.
 
It’s not their fault, they didn’t know.

Yes, that was a great day and game in the last minute win in 2021. You are right about the atmosphere at Lane. I left the stadium hoarsely chanting "Shrader for Heisman!"

They had a very good run from 2004-2011. That is 8 years all well after Vick. They won the ACC in 2004 (pre CG), and also were in 5 of the first 7 ACC CGs.

But they have been nothing since then.

Honestly, I thought they had more money when they hired Pry. He was an odd choice.

Exactly! They have been what I call a “fake” team for years. Back in the day they loaded up with a lot of cupcake teams, which was later an approach followed closely by Schiano at Rutgers.

Did they have some good teams? Yes, but they never truly deserved the hype they received. I mean, they were fairly good in the Big East, but weren’t given a lot of credit. Then they moved to the ACC, which was a conference as weak or possibly weaker than the Big East at the time and were elevated to power program status, which was a farce. It was all ACC southern football public relations nonsense (which, by the way, has been revealed to be crap. The ACC has no clothes!)

For this reason, more than any other, I’ve never liked them. Vick was 100% legitimate. All the other hype never has been.
