Take Tech Sideline’s 2024 Virginia Tech Football Fan Survey

Brent Pry was all smiles after the Hokies’ turnaround in the 2023 season. (Ivan Morozov)

Brent Pry and the Hokies appeared to turn a corner in 2023, winning five ACC games, getting back to a bowl game and coming out on top for a change, punctuating the season with the program’s first postseason victory in seven years.

With almost everybody coming back, the hype train’s bound to be hitting full speed at some point this offseason, if it isn’t already.

That makes it a good time to take the temperature of the Hokies fan base. We at Tech Sideline have put together a 21-question survey for fans to take.

This form probably works better on a laptop than a mobile device, so please don’t struggle to do it on your phone and complain to us afterward. For the open-ended questions, please channel your inner editor and make your responses somewhat brief for our collection purposes. This isn’t the time for your 1,000-word manifesto about the state of the program. Brevity is … wit.

We will publish the results — with analysis — next week.

  1. I agree on the question about the national championship. I went back and forth. I chose “yes,” because I think it is possible. But if the question read “Will VT win a national championship,” I would have answered “no.”

  2. The national title question wouldn’t take yes for an answer. It allowed me to select no, or to skip the question, but when I tried to select yes nothing happened.

  3. I’ve tried this on a laptop, when I hit “submit” it just keeps sending me to the position group offense question where it says not to pick more than one answer for each group. I haven’t. My phone does the same thing.

    1. Make sure you’re ranking them 1-5 and not assigning a point total about your comfort to each group.

      You can have one 1, one 2, one 3, one 4 and one 5.

      Can’t have both WR and RB be a 2, for instance.

  4. Great idea & activity for off season each year & for other sports as well. I expect it will mostly coincide w/ TSL brainy consensus because all we know is what we hear from TSL. For the Q about freshmen, maybe add a link to the recruiting article.

  5. I think the questions of Pry & Tech winning an ACC championship are nil (not NIL)…simply because they are directly linked to the future of the ACC, which may very well be dissolved before we know it.

  6. Chris: The answers to the question about adding Cal, Stanford, and SMU should have been: Stupid, Smart or Necessary. I would have chosen necessary.

    1. IMHO CAL and Stanford will return to the fold after Mountain West Conference and the PAC 2 work things out.
      They will ask to be released from the ACC and the other ACC members will vote to let them.

    2. If it was necessary (I agree) then it was also smart, even if only because of lack of options.

  7. Andy, I really appreciate the opportunity to take the survey. It was fun because I think the Hokies will have a really good team in 2024. A lot of surveys/forms will have quirks (ask any teacher who did virtual teaching) but I had no problem.Thank you for putting it together and kudos to TSL for having such an amazing and talented staff! I am looking forward to seeing the results and for football season to start. Go Hokies!🎉🏈🙌🏻

  8. I think the answers will be interesting and don’t impact anything so just enjoy it. I often wonder if I’m the only one that feels a certain way, maybe this will shed some light on that particular thought.

  9. I loved the survey and I am excited to see the results. I had no problem completing this on my iPhone and I am over 60. 😂

    1. Me too on Android & am > 80.

      The reason I did not have most confidence in the QB position is because lacking any experienced depth other than Drones

  10. For future surveys – don’t force respondents to answer EVERY question. IE, while I DID read the signing class articles, I don’t remember who was who. So forcing me to pick 3 signees who have me most excited meant me picking 3 random names, for the most part.

    1. Yep…same. I also expect most, if not all of those players to redshirt…so not really “excited” about any of them.

  11. Sorry but survey format is hosed up. Won’t let me submit any which way I answer the questions about ranking the different positions, categories. MS Edge brower…..

  12. Poll was a bit lame

    I’m reall interested in which coordinator will be the first to depart ( due to success or failure)

  13. Fighting with the form and Android. The form won’t allow me to submit because it thinks I have submitted duplicate answers to single questions.

    1. I also had an issue initially with the questions regarding ranking the offensive and defensive positions 1-5. You can only assign each number (1-5) once, therefore if you thought the QB & RB positions were both 1’s, you had to assign a 2 to either QB or RB to avoid an error.

      1. Why Yes on SMU? Just curious, that one seemed the most odd to me. Cal and Stanford are somewhat name programs, but too geographically distant.

  14. The most unsure question was can they win a national championship. I answered yes because I think they can. If you had asked do you believe they will win one, my answer would have been no.

  15. Wow, only being able to pick 3 true freshman show how good that class is. There were quite a few names I had to leave off that I was very excited about.

  16. I think some of the questions should have had an “I don’t know” or “No opinion” option. For example, I don’t really follow recruiting so don’t have an opinion on all the incoming freshmen but I was forced to pick names I was excited about despite knowing nothing.

    1. Just hit that purple submit button at the bottom at the bottom of the form and it sends all the answers our way.
