Recruiting Forum Football Talk IV

Iowa...haven't paid attention to them recently, but that stability is really paying off. Won 21 of their last 26 games and their worst loss was by only 7 points. And they were just 7 points away from going 8-0 last season. Have begun this season with back to back ranked wins...nice developmental program. Likely hit their ceiling, but it just shows the payoff potential when you invest and let it grow.

Arch Manning would single handedly bring this program back to national relevance.

Pipe dream at best. We have a better chance with Dante Moore

You have to wonder if VT being patient with Fuente is about to pay off after that win against NC.

We need to give Heup time

More than two games? Go hug a tree you hippie!

 

[Catbone]

In 2025 we reevaluate Heup. Til then he needs our full support from our administration. But at the same time I can't blame the folks who have loss fatigue at all

 

[Bassmaster_Vol]

As if this is controversial...

Oh I know it’s not happening that is why it is so depressing. He could literally be turn this thing around.

Proud dad alert: My son hit a walk-off dinger for his team tonight. Playing first base too for the first time. Rocking it…

View attachment 395263

You may remember about 2 years ago I posted that my son was so incredibly far behind his teammates I was pretty bummed for him. Figured he would get down. Well we celebrated his little victories and kept at it. The little dude has just been grinding for the past four seasons and is now probably the most well-rounded ones out there in the league. I love being a dad and love being his dad. He’s the most coachable, likable kid I’ve ever been around, seriously . Whatever future coach gets him is so lucky. He does everything asked of him.

Good looking swing and the bat toss was awesome!

 

[Johnnycomelately]

Can't believe people actually wanted Gus as our coach. Steele and Garner saved that man's job for years.

Yep, and if we had hired Gus, then we probably wouldn’t have Garner on staff now.

Haha that kid’s going places, but he’s not mine, that’s just a gif. This one’s mine…

Moments away from beating a meaningful top opponent on the west coast, Luke Jackson live tweeting in B9 while home with new a baby. And Will Smith proceeds to blow the save. Bruh.

 

[HoleInTheRoof]

We’re gonna beat Florida

Guys I have to come clean. I don’t really believe this per se. I had posted a tweet from stancliff that had F bombs in it so I had to edit the post real quick.

Doubt we actually beat Florida.

Although come Thursday of Florida I’ll have convinced myself WGWTFA

 

[Ace]

That game was awesome

I was there. And it was an awesome game.

 

[Devo182]

Move those goalposts. If he had no passing ability, he wouldn't have those passing yards in any length of time. He's the most proven passer on our team, which is simply a statistical fact.

3 straight years of a 153-167 QBR. Might as well just put in a Jimmy

 

[ClasslessVol]

It’s not that depressing when we have a shot at another 5 star QB. Arch is great but he’s not the only fish in the water. I have confidence that Heupel will get the QB position right with time.

 

[Hardy]

When are we supposed to wear those? AP confirmed the all blacks as a real thing, right?

[ACvol3]

We need General Booty at QB

 

[ACvol3]

First game in juco I believe

 

[Hardy]

This is somewhere between amazing, creepy, and wondering if the kid is related to Heupel...

Baby sings Phil Collins

Oh lord

[KB5252]

? That was all on the receiver

The defense forced an early throw, the receiver was not expecting it right out of his break across the middle. It was thrown into an area with three defenders. The QB rushed the throw. That was on the QB.

Think about what you're saying. Do you see the irony?

NC was an irrelevant program when Fuente was hired. One of the worst in the ACC. Fuente has beat them 5 out of the last 6 times for Christ's sake. And that team is your signature win to justify it all? I can guarantee you no VT fan sees it that way.

That's like Vandy coming out of nowhere to become a top 10 team, us beating them on the way down, and claiming that is a program defining win. Gross. No thanks.

I vote we follow the NC plan to go from basement dweller to top 10 team in a year if we are just throwing out random teams to compare to.
