Seems reasonable for you to have an opinion but why is your standard


the "right" one for all fans? Others might say that unrealistically high expectations are just the product of a brief period in VT football history in which everything fell into place. We had a great coach who was an alumnus (and therefore didn't leave when better jobs came calling). We had an almost uniquely loyal defensive coordinator who also didn't bail for far better jobs and way more money. We built the program on a talent pool that the SEC schools hadn't yet come to recruit. We played in conferences with extremely mediocre coaching and QBing. Add all that up, you can win 10 games with a crap offense and play in New Year's bowl games.

But you shouldn't expect great results like that every year and if you do that's just the result of being biased by a completely unreplicable set of circumstances that will never again exist in VT football.

Or, you can have your opinion and others can have theirs. There isn't a "right" opinion to have. It's what you FEEL. That's what the question asked.

But thanks for sharing your perspective.
