Virginia Tech Hokies vs. California Golden Bears: News, Predictions, and Poll
We’re a bit early because, well, the game is on Friday night, and we need to get this in a day early. It’s “Sandman” weekend after a bye week. Cal is 5-2 and looking better than everyone thought they would. Can the Hokies make it happen on Friday Night Lights – the College Addition? Coach […]
Virginia Tech DC Sam Siefkes praises freshman linebacker
When the Virginia Tech Hokies opened this season, their linebacker rotation appeared set. Caleb Woodson, Jaden Keller and Michael Short seemed to have the position locked up. However, everything changed after the Hokies were shocked by Old Dominion in Week 3. The next day, Virginia Tech fired head coach Brent Pry. When Pry was fired, […]
Shockingly, the Virginia Tech Hokies are favored to beat Cal
After a week off, the Virginia Tech Hokies return to the field for a rare Friday night game at Lane Stadium this weekend. The Hokies host the California Golden Bears in ACC action. It feels weird to say that Virginia Tech is hosting California or Stanford in ACC play. Last season, Tech made the trip […]
Where the Virginia Tech Hokies Stand as Another Coach Bites the Dust: Napier Out at Florida
Billy Napier, once thought to be a finalist for the Tech job after the Fuente era ended, has been dismissed from a slightly subpar experience coaching he Florida Gators. Norvell looks like he’s about to be shoved out the door at FSU. What’s that all mean for the Hokies? Taking a Quick Look at the […]
Are we getting closer to Shane Beamer becoming the next Virginia Tech coach?
This was supposed to be a dream season for Shane Beamer and his South Carolina Gamecocks. Ranked No. 13 in the preseason poll, big things were expected for the 2024 SEC Coach of the Year with his Heisman-contending quarterback, LaNorris Sellers. Here we are, almost two months later, and the Gamecocks sit at 3-4, only […]
Virginia Tech football: Defensive back has breakout game and enters transfer portal
When the Virginia Tech Hokies fired head coach Brent Pry in mid-September, it opened the transfer portal for the entire team for 30 days. Some players jumped in, such as cornerback Dante Lovett and wide receiver Tucker Holloway, but not as many as some believed. Other players with redshirt seasons available could be choosing to […]
Finding a New Hokie Coach: Is Dan Mullen “The New Guy”?
So, one of the names tossed around for potential availability is an old grinder fired from Florida before the Napier pending failure, Dan Mullen. He seems to have gotten back into the swing of things at UNLV, but does he want the gas that comes from Power conference expectations? It seems from sources no less […]
Virginia Tech’s Place in the NCAA’s Massive Football Coaching Turnover Event
Don’t get too far down the road, we really need to look at this season as a major shift. We’d have to check, but this season the early firings of head coaches at the FBS collegiate level might be setting some records, it certainly is ringing alarm bells, and roiling coaching searches. Been Here Before […]
ACC media not too high on Virginia Tech basketball
It’s almost that time of the year. College basketball season is right around the corner. The games begin next month, and expectations are high in Blacksburg for the Virginia Tech Hokies — men’s and women’s teams. Unfortunately, the ACC media isn’t among those high on the 2025-26 Hokies. On Tuesday, the ACC media revealed its […]
Should Virginia Tech be interested in James Franklin?
The biggest coaching domino of the 2025 carousel landed on Sunday when the Penn State Nittany Lions fired head coach James Franklin. First, the Penn State job immediately jumps to the top of the list of coaching openings, and Franklin becomes a leading contender for every team that needs a coach. Which leads us to […]
Virginia Tech Hokies Out Played in the First by the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: 20-35
The good news is that next weekend the Hokies are idle for their bye weekend. The bad news is that on Friday October 24th they have to play the remainder of the season. Admittedly it starts against Cal. The Golden Bears are struggling about as much as the Hokies so that should actually be a […]
Virginia Tech Hokies vs. Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets: News, Predictions, and Game Poll
Bobby Dodd weekend is almost here, and what we see before us is not a difficult situation to predict, but certainly is a difficult one for the team to get prepared for… Let’s Just Jump Right on into News There is just an air of resignation going on. You can sense the team and coaching […]
Virginia Tech vs. Georgia Tech: Preview, odds, how to watch
A quick glance at the ACC standings and you probably wouldn’t believe your eyes. Five teams are undefeated in conference play; only three of those teams have played more than one conference game. Virginia (5-1, 3-0), Duke (4-2, 2-0) and Georgia Tech (5-0, 2-0) are currently the ACC’s top teams. No. 2 Miami and SMU […]
