bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Amazing how stupid VT is getting at football scheduling. While I like opening the season with GT and the extra time to prepare for that triple option, why do you need to play them on Labor Day night TV with the next game five days away? Win or lose against GT you're setting your team up to fail against another 1AA team because your team will be mentally behind getting back to defending traditional football and now on a short week. This just baffles me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This just baffles me. Exactly what happened this past year. And if I'm not mistaken I do believe Frankie Beamer even said he should never have scheduled those games that close together and it was all his fault and he took the blame for it. So what does he do? The exact same thing. Come on Frankie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1inStripes 932 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Big difference this time. JMU was a quality .500 FCS team. Austin Peay is a terrible FCS team. VT should coast to at least a 10 point win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 Also, only four Saturday home games against the likes of Austin Peay, Bowling Green, Duke, and UVA. Way to take care of the fans where Saturdays are the best days for traveling to games!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoughRider97 10 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 With that schedule, they should at least finish 10-2 or 11-1 regular season with a spot in the ACC title game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted February 28, 2012 I hate they dropped ECU for Austin Peay. They didn't "drop" ECU for AP. They dropped ECU for two years to pick up Bama next year. We had to find AP because of that. To others' points.. Frankie B doesn't do the scheduling... the slow-talking, mouth breather AD does.

dcecilgolf 11 Report Share Posted February 29, 2012 Nobody will probably agree with me, but I think this is the hardest VT schedule in years. Probably one of the hardest in the past 20 years. There isn't an eye popping difficult game, but from top to bottom, definitely the hardest schedule in quite some time. I wouldn't be surprised if they went 8-4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 I agree JMU was a quality team, but in no way should VT ever lose to a a FCS school. The "JMU as Quality Team" is horse-hockey. JMU was a whopping 6-5 in FCS that year, and didn't qualify for the FCS playoffs. Sorry, Hokies, that's the truth. Austin Peay, though, was 3-8 last year. It would be an epic embarrassment to lose to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deuceswild 15 Report Share Posted March 3, 2012 they picked up Bama so they could lose by 20+ At least we'd only lose by 20.. 2011 - Bama 37, UT 6 2010 - Bama 41, UT 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
