What's this?

Exactly. People wrote them off in 2018 and they were actually worse then

than they are this year. We should have put them to bed at 4-7. They squeaked out a win in OT over us and then added a terrible Marshall team to get bowl eligibility.

They were in total turmoil and many here were proclaiming they had “quit”. Nope, rivalry game and they played hard, up 14-0 at halftime.

Last year, same folks proclaimed they quit on the season after being demoralized by a bad Duke team at home, 45-10 or whatever it was. The following week they jumped Miami 28-0 on their way to a nice winning streak.

They aren’t great but a lot of wishful thinking that they quit. So many narrow losses. Yesterday was the only drubbing.

Welsh/Beamer vs. Groh/Fuente -- AmericanHero247 11/22/2020 09:19AM

I'm a Giants fan and Groh is one of Parcells' guys -- 3West 11/22/2020 12:06PM

Was more confident we'd maybe beat VT about 2 to 3 weeks ago -- Oregon Hoo 11/22/2020 11:39AM

What do you call losing 5 games in a row if uva is limping???? ** -- hooman#1 11/22/2020 12:06PM

Couple of things -- Oregon Hoo 11/22/2020 12:12PM

The worst team they played beat them 40-14. The wheels -- hooman#1 11/22/2020 2:04PM

I hear ya, but I've heard this song and dance from them before -- Oregon Hoo 11/22/2020 2:26PM

2018 and 2020 hokies are very similar IMO -- hooman#1 11/22/2020 4:23PM

I'm still angry about that game -- AmericanHero247 11/22/2020 4:34PM

Exactly. People wrote them off in 2018 and they were actually worse then -- HooWorldOrder 11/22/2020 12:17PM

Always tough to follow a legend ** -- Brother Griswold 11/22/2020 11:26AM

Initially, Groh had a great staff of assistants and turned it into -- foxtrott 11/22/2020 11:03AM

Nepotism undid Groh -- 4thYear5th 11/22/2020 11:31AM

I think fuente -- rives 11/22/2020 11:02AM

Great comparison. LF was 33-20 his first 4 years at UNC, JF is 32-20 -- HowBoutThoseHoos 11/22/2020 12:41PM

Great points -- rives 11/22/2020 12:46PM

Absolutely. He is Larry Fedora part 2 ** -- HooWorldOrder 11/22/2020 11:21AM

Did people think Groh was a great hire at the time? I remember most -- hawkb 11/22/2020 10:57AM

I thought Groh was an excellent hire. ** -- Greg

People did think Groh was a great hire at the time -- BuckHoo 11/22/2020 1:02PM

I thought Groh was a much better hire for us than Fuente was for VT -- HooWorldOrder 11/22/2020 11:19AM

Groh was a gr8 hire-b/c Sandusky was the alternative -- Mlmac 11/22/2020 11:13AM

We don’t owe anyone in happy valley. Uva from the get go -- hooman#1 11/22/2020 12:09PM

This board generally thought it was a great hire. -- confuzionrains 11/22/2020 11:01AM

Groh was indeed. Attrition and keeping guys eligible no easy feat at UVA ** -- HooWorldOrder 11/22/2020 11:20AM

The Cop = Shame Beamer -- Warrior Wahoo Wolverine 11/22/2020 10:49AM

Here’s the biggest difference to me between these coaching groups. -- aficionadHOO 11/22/2020 10:21AM

That's a good point. Welsh and Beamer were from the old, old school. ** -- vwahoov 11/22/2020 10:54AM

Could VT invoke force majeure to get out of paying Fu on his contract -- JR_Hoo 11/22/2020 10:17AM

Lol no. ** -- HTrain90 11/22/2020 10:51AM

Never hold up in court. They're so stuck with the terms of the contract. -- SW_CTHoo 11/22/2020 10:38AM

I liked Groh, and thought he deserved another season or two. ** -- vwahoov 11/22/2020 10:16AM

Groh would've been successful if he had paid minimal attention to the areas -- confuzionrains 11/22/2020 11:04AM

Easy in theory, but as we all know, very difficult to execute ** -- HowBoutThoseHoos 11/22/2020 12:47PM

Groan was an arrogant jerk hoo believed he could do no wrong. Threw -- WahooKnows 11/22/2020 12:38PM

.....attrition ** -- GoochlandHoo 11/22/2020 11:23AM

If Sewell had played his junior year, Groh's still coaching here -- Williamsburg Wahoo 11/22/2020 10:22AM

Or if Peter Lalich wasn't a huge miss. Verica in 08 sealed it regardless ** -- HowBoutThoseHoos 11/22/2020 12:58PM

Hope they keep him as long as possible -- hooman#1 11/22/2020 10:14AM

I bet tech try’s to cancel the game and avoid another L ** -- Wahoo_Weav 11/22/2020 09:51AM

More likely that VT-Clem gets cancelled. -- HTrain90 11/22/2020 10:55AM

Clemson must play or miss ACCCG -- Fred F. 11/22/2020 1:04PM

Interesting take. I think you may be into something here. ** -- Wahoo_Weav 11/22/2020 11:50AM

Clemson/VT is 2 weeks away. It will likely be played -- HooWorldOrder 11/22/2020 11:23AM

I could easily see Whit cancel the Clemson game due to "concerns" re CU's -- HoosForward 11/22/2020 11:02AM

By the way, I wouldn’t necessarily fault VT. -- HTrain90 11/22/2020 11:08AM

THis story plays out at just about every institution that HAD a great coach -- GoochlandHoo 11/22/2020 09:32AM

Can Tech afford to fire JFu at this point? ** -- RyDogg 11/22/2020 09:27AM

Exactly. People wrote them off in 2018 and they were actually worse then
