Smell That?

That's the stentch of complancy. Good old fashioned complacency. Fancy Gap Frank style complacency.

We can't say that we're surprised, but we held out hope, kind of like Frank is basing this program's future on hope instead of having a plan to reach the heights of the college football world. It is truly a shame and we were visibly upset as we read that Frank has officially announced that no changes will be made.

How can we possibly get excited for 2009? After 7 years of this stuff, why is there any reason to believe that Stinespring is going to finally get it? There isn't any reason to believe it. It's rather disheartening.

We even kept old O'Cain and Newsome too, since they've done such a good job developing Tyrod (we think he's actually regressed under O'Cain's tutelage) and well the offensive line, well that speaks for itself, stellar once again (yet probably 3 of this year's starters will play in the NFL at some point).

We can see it now after we get lambasted by Alabama in the opener next year, the Hokie Hotline phones will be ringing off the hooks, but good old Frank will give us the same song and dance he gives us every year and maybe even call someone outta whack just for old times' sake. Then he'll compare us to the Trojans and Longhorns, because just like everyone else who watches college football would agree, that Virginia Tech is clearly on the same level...yet we still have that empty trophy case.

Frank, while the rest of us VT fans who don't know a thing about football remain "outta whack", you remain "outta touch" with today's college game. It's truly a shame.
