Big Orange 1 10 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 satisfied with for your college team. I was talking with a Hokie fan the other day and this discussion came up. Obviously we all want to be in, and win the BCS Championship. With what I as a Tenn fan with the youth and coaching changes yada, yada, yada, is about 8 wins with maybe a shocker over Florida, LSU, or Alabama, and a decent bowl game. I guess how this got brought up, and why I'm asking you guys, is yet another ACC Championship satisfying to the VT faithful. Dont get me wrong, this in no way is a post comparing conferences or anything. But VT has seemingly owned the ACC, and thats proof that they are a NC contender, but is another conf. title and a berth in the Orange or Sugar enough? Or, is a NC what it takes to satisfy VT fans. Before I get bashed, this is just a question. VT is leaps and bounds ahead of UT for the last several years, I realize that. Just friendly discussion.

vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I think there are four things that complete some spectrum between "appreciate" and "satisfy". ACC Championship/Orange Bowl berth <-------> Orange Bowl win <---------> NC berth <------->NC Win Appreciate <-------------------------------------------------------------------------------> Satisfied So I guess what I'm saying is that I can appreciate the fact that we're the top of the ACC, but I don't think I will be satisfied until we have that crystal football. That's just me though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TigerValley 22 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Im always tickled for the Hokies winning the Acc. But id like to see them do more Beamer is 67 time is running out.Hes a great coach,but is too loyal to his coaches.my opinon they need too bring in an Nfl Offence Coordinator to run the offence.Last year orange bowl they were out coached,out played.Didnt have a second halve game plan.Cannot beat a top ten team. SAd but true.I know Stinespring is no longer callin plays but he is still the oc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Orange 1 10 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 I think a CFB playoff would benefit VT more than most teams. They seem to me to be one of those "get on a roll" teams and then something happens during the month layoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 For me as a UVA fan, I would be pleased to win 8+ every year consistently. I would be satisfied with an ACC Championship. But this is an ever-evolving spectrum. You think you'd be satisfied when you first get what you want, but you're never not. You win 1 NC, you'd be "satisfied" with 2 and are just pleased with 1.

GMan 3,569 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 satisfied with for your college team. Beating the $hit out of UT in a bowl game...again...so maybe their chicken$hit fans would shut the h3ll up for a couple of weeks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Orange 1 10 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 (edited) Beating the $hit out of UT in a bowl game...again...so maybe their chicken$hit fans would shut the h3ll up for a couple of weeks... Well, I'll have to admit you'd be better off playing a 6 win UT team. Lord knows you cant beat the Boises', Alabamas', USCs' and the like. Go ahead, hang your hat on beating a 6 win Lane Kiffin Tenn team, win your 10-11 games against what has to be one of the top 10 easiest schedules in the nation this year and enjoy having the hell beat out of you again by a Stanford like team. What has any Tenn fan said on here? What makes Tenn fans chickensh*^? Nobody has said anything about Tenn. I havent said a word about their first two wins, I know we havent played a top notch team. I think we looked good against Cincy, but may get throttled at Florida. Speaking of being chickensh*&, I guess you'll delete this post because I said something negative about the precious hokies. Remember, like you did last year. Edited September 11, 2011 by Big Orange 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Orange 1 10 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 I thought this was a friendly discussion? I would take UT over VT this year. It was, I thought. Im still trying to find out who has been running their mouth about Tenn and why Tenn fans are chickensh*&. I will say this in my defense, I'm not a Peyton Manning Vols fan. I started going in the early 80's and rarely, if ever, miss a home game. Sorry this thread, which , HONEST TO GOD was started with best of intentions has turned south. I'm not going to argue, VT as I stated in the first post has been leaps and bounds ahead of UT. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a look in the mirror, Mr. Backhandslap. Anyway, if I were you I wouldn't go beating my chest about a win over Cincinnati...they'll be lucky to win 5 games in the Big East this year...

gcdevils47 10 Report Share Posted September 11, 2011 UT vs Florida will be the first true test. Tech will never get a true test because who do they play? I'm surprised they haven't scheduled Dobyns Bennett yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
