Indiana is arguably the worst-ever championship winner across marquee college sports. It shouldn't have won the national championship, but did. So in this new era, why not the #Hokies? thekeyplay.com/virginia-tec....

I really enjoy how much Pat hates Nebraska.
Nebraska football is a goddamn embarrassment. Never had a football program been more dedicated to being all hat and no cattle. Where Iowa and Utah preach toughness, Nebraska cosplays it.

All I care about is JMU getting their dicks kicked in and hey that's happening so great.
You cannot pay me to give a shit about another sec football result. I’m tapped out. I’m over it. I’m done. It’s too much. Go. Away. Fuck.

Franklin's First Wave: Offensive Line
Now that James Franklin has been hired to rebuild the Virginia Tech football program, the hard work begins. With seven 2026 signees, creating a competitive offensive line seems to be the top priority.
