Just ask an Arkansas fan...they'll have no problem explaining it to you ** -- hok1eboy 09/17/2021 10:09PM
It's not like we are tearing up the Coastal, much less the ACC. ** -- Atlee Hokie 09/17/2021 9:51PM
I’d rather be rich and mediocre than poor and mediocre. ** -- lawhokie 09/17/2021 12:08PM
No doubt but as a fan, are you getting the money? ** -- VaTechHokiesACC 09/17/2021 9:46PM
Is it better to be mediocre in a mediocre conference, or ... -- Atlee Hokie 09/17/2021 9:53PM
Having the money helps you get better and we haven't been able to exploit -- TDVick 09/17/2021 2:52PM

Because we get to sit in Lane and watch VT vs UGA/Tenn/Fla/Tn/Ala/Aub/LSU -- 133193Hokie 09/16/2021 8:38PM
But we do get to sit in Cassel and watch UNC, Duke, Wake, UVa, Syr, etc ** -- HokieToph 09/17/2021 11:40AM
Poppycock. ** -- dallasvt 09/17/2021 4:08PM

Well that settles it then. We can just sit back & watch the money roll in. -- VTHokie2000 09/17/2021 12:21PM
VT will lose 2/3 to 3/4 of those games. -- PadrosWindup 09/16/2021 10:12PM
It's gotten old that we've been mediocre in a poor Coastal Div. ** -- Atlee Hokie 09/17/2021 9:55PM
Understand where you're coming from, but I'm not buying that 4 long run. -- Stech 09/17/2021 11:39AM

I disagree, but the alternative is to stay in the ACC and -- 133193Hokie 09/17/2021 10:58AM
Same thing people said when we joined the ACC. We could -- 133193Hokie 09/17/2021 11:12AM

I wish folks would realize this -- VaTechHokiesACC 09/17/2021 12:43AM
And just what have we been seeing the last decade? Scintillating football? ** -- Atlee Hokie 09/17/2021 9:59PM
Yes, VT most likely will take its lumps in the beginning. -- VTHokie2000 09/17/2021 01:53AM

Good find. It appears that Arkansas finally realized what it -- VTHokie2000 09/17/2021 3:51PM
No comparison. Arky doesn't even need to use War Memorial with their -- 91HokieBob 09/17/2021 3:55PM
I agree with you, but it appears the reason Arkansas plays in both stadiums -- VTHokie2000 09/17/2021 4:12PM

Well vt used every political capital -- Mercury 09/16/2021 2:26PM
We've held up our end of the bargain. And we stayed once when we may have -- Maroon Baboon 09/17/2021 09:29AM
I've always been perplexed by the "political" argument -- Hokie Fiji 09/16/2021 2:50PM
My sources tell it differently Re Casteen.... -- HOKIEGOBBLE 09/16/2021 11:17PM

Ok, but let’s get some items clarified... -- HOKIEGOBBLE 09/18/2021 06:45AM
Casteen was the driving force in gaining acceptance into the ACC -- EDGEMAN 09/16/2021 8:13PM
I dont think it would. Never going to happen in my opinion -- 133193Hokie 09/16/2021 2:35PM
ACC is likely our preferred home unless things change drastically -- Hokie Fiji 09/16/2021 11:51AM
This. ** -- Femoyer Hokie 09/16/2021 2:28PM
Just a speech ** -- CrystalCoveHokie 09/16/2021 08:24AM
