In August, the goals for this Virginia Tech football team were pretty simple: Win 6 games, beat Virginia, play in a bowl game. At times during the season it appeared they wouldn’t make it that far. At other times...
There is an old saying that goes something like “when they tell you who they are, believe them.” If Virginia Tech’s football team ever told me that, I would believe them. Except after watching Saturday’s loss to N.C. State, it...
I don’t want to overstate this, but the importance of Saturday’s game between Virginia Tech and N.C. State is ginormous. Humongous. Massive. Big. Why you ask? Well, I was reminded of the answer to this this morning when on social media...

Coming into this season, Virginia Tech’s men’s basketball coach Mike Young said he didn’t think he’d ever had a team as deep as the one he’d coach in 2023-2024. This afternoon, however, some of that depth dissolved into thin air. Word...
