Playing AT ODU is bad enough, but a Friday night?? That's even worse... ** -- BuffaloTraceHokie 03/03/2022 8:21PM
Football season-opener vs. ODU is officially Friday, Sept. 2. -- David Cunningham
03/01/2022 10:50AM
This series should be canceled. Nothing to gain with it. ** -- hokie4ever 03/02/2022 08:31AM
Nothing to be gained...but lots ($$) to be saved. -- marcbvtgm 03/03/2022 3:41PM
Agree - it’s the new ECU. ** -- uber hokie 03/02/2022 5:21PM
This is worse than ECU IMO -- VTECHFAN 03/03/2022 12:56AM
ODU doesn't even have indoor plumbing at their stadium ** -- bluehokie 03/03/2022 9:13PM
I think the "new" one did get that upgrade ** -- VTECHFAN 03/04/2022 5:44PM
Except VB VT fans can drive 30 min to a game and hang with ODU peeps ** -- JoseyWales 03/02/2022 4:39PM
Maybe every 5 years or so but not every year . Not benefiting VT much at al ** -- uber hokie 03/02/2022 5:27PM
Hey Mr Roanoke, there is a huge alumni base outside of your tiny little -- Stork 03/02/2022 3:55PM
Absolutely, the vocal minority who whine, haven't left their neighborhood -- Mercury 03/02/2022 4:15PM
How often does Penn State travel to Temple? -- VTECHFAN 03/03/2022 12:59AM
We play Liberty AGAIN!!?? Gawd, why do Any of our teams schedule them?!? ** -- BAMRising 03/02/2022 7:59PM
Kinda like Ohio St-Youngsville St every year? ** -- BobG 03/02/2022 11:09AM
Nah, they've only played YSU twice. None since '08. They do play an Ohio -- reestuart 03/02/2022 3:54PM
Considering where we are at. A win would be a good thing -- fordham 03/02/2022 09:27AM
It is prolly not a huge huge "W" for Pry-- so much as it would be a fu'gly, -- bourbonstreet 03/02/2022 7:43PM
That cupcake beat us when we played them... ** -- okiehokie1 03/02/2022 09:49AM
As did Michicken to Appy State. ** -- NokieHokie 03/02/2022 12:18PM
Michigan hasn't played Appy State again, either. ** -- Atlee Hokie 03/02/2022 3:27PM
Actually, they did play them again in '14 and beat them 52-14. ** -- reestuart 03/02/2022 4:01PM
You could argue losing to ODU was the beginning of the end for Fuente. -- hokienole 03/02/2022 12:14PM
I can't imagine a scenario where we become -- Seikoh_04 03/02/2022 11:59AM
And hidden in there is a dig on the ACC as well -- Mercury 03/02/2022 4:22PM
Nope you missed my meaning by a mile -- Seikoh_04 03/02/2022 5:19PM
Well yea we got revenge also ** -- fordham 03/02/2022 10:31AM
I don't know about that... ** -- NokieHokie 03/02/2022 12:18PM
Sort of... not a very satisfying win ** -- whatIpostlike 03/02/2022 11:03AM
Doesn't help HS prospects come see us on a Friday night -- FF Hokie 03/01/2022 2:28PM
We can blame that on ODU ** -- whatIpostlike 03/02/2022 11:09AM
It’s not our game to schedule, that’s ODU’s call ** -- BROman Hokie 03/01/2022 7:47PM
Then why play down there at all? -- FF Hokie 03/02/2022 07:44AM
This series isn't about recruiting, it's about $, buy games are expensive ** -- BROman Hokie 03/02/2022 08:10AM
More expensive than a road game? -- FF Hokie 03/02/2022 10:31AM
Home teams pay road teams to travel... -- BROman Hokie 03/02/2022 11:20AM
ODU is paying us in fried fish sammiches ** -- whatIpostlike 03/02/2022 12:53PM
ODU better use excellent tartar sauce then :-) ** -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 12:55PM
Away game schools pay for VT to go there. -- RJHokie 03/02/2022 10:47AM
I suspect both teams have to agree on what day the game should be played. -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2022 8:41PM
Not sure but ESPN told ODU and VT youll play Friday night ** -- anotherdamnyankeehokie 03/01/2022 8:53PM
No doubt that it's a TV game. -- Chris Coleman
03/02/2022 11:22AM
Agree, ESPN wanted it on Friday night and it gives us a tv -- Hokie`79 03/02/2022 12:56PM
So the networks can do it with no oversight from the schools and/or the -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 12:03PM
Well they consult, sure. -- Chris Coleman
03/02/2022 12:43PM
I get that and there may be times that ESPN or whomever opts -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 12:52PM
VT is playing on 5 days rest this year. Quite sure we couldn't opt out. ** -- Atlee Hokie 03/02/2022 3:21PM
Maybe so, but even 5 days is different than requiring a team to play -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 3:41PM
Because there is a defined season? ** -- NokieHokie 03/02/2022 12:19PM
According to the NCAA Division I Manual, it only gives a date range -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 12:24PM
Exactly what I said. ** -- NokieHokie 03/02/2022 12:26PM
But my point is there is nothing in the manual to prevent ESPN from -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 12:32PM
Umm okay... You can pull whatever you want out of wherever you want. ** -- NokieHokie 03/02/2022 12:33PM
It still doesn't answer the question. Why doesn't a network -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 12:36PM
Why would they want that? No team is going to be a good watch playing that -- NokieHokie 03/02/2022 1:52PM
Ratings to see if a team can do the "impossible." -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 2:13PM
Okay... ** -- NokieHokie 03/02/2022 2:27PM
Next, play in Mars or on Easter Island SMH ** -- TomTurkey 03/02/2022 7:28PM
You could argue ESPN would want to put a team on Mars, because that novelty -- NokieHokie 03/02/2022 7:29PM
And 3x in the same week. On the NASA channel. ** -- TomTurkey 03/02/2022 7:32PM
Exsctly -- Mercury 03/02/2022 07:31AM
That's my thought too. Play then or it will be a "radio game" ** -- EDGEMAN 03/01/2022 11:21PM
You don't think MASN would jump at the chance to broadcast the game -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 08:46AM
Source? I mean that ESPN made the decision for both schools -- VTHokie2000 03/01/2022 8:54PM
Television tells schools when they play, not vice versa. ** -- Atlee Hokie 03/02/2022 05:28AM
If television has the final say with no oversight from the 2 participating -- VTHokie2000 03/02/2022 08:44AM
Collegefootballnews.com has us playing Oklahoma State -- Lerxst 03/01/2022 11:50AM
That would be awesome ** -- WestyHokie 03/01/2022 7:18PM
Sorry if you are not from Hampton Roads but its great coming ot Norfolk -- Mercury 03/01/2022 6:10PM
Norfolk is a krap hole ** -- whatIpostlike 03/02/2022 11:04AM
We wish ** -- Hokdawg 03/01/2022 5:53PM
