@pbowwow @AndyBitterVT I mean, that’s so obviously incorrect.

@BrianB540_22 @AndyBitterVT whats my L? I just am calling out that andy has been bitter ever since JF got into town.

biggggggggg hokies fan right here

@pbowwow @AndyBitterVT Taking your L and moving along is another option, as well.

@AndyBitterVT that’s fine, just be a little less bitter ab it man

@HOV395 @AndyBitterVT @pbowwow People pay a subscription to TSL for honest, insider reporting on the program. The message board is free and houses all the necesssry propaganda. If you want that from Andy or the other staff, you’d be better off subscribing to something else.

@AndyBitterVT @pbowwow Touchy given your salary is paid by fans though.

@NJNittany @Poerbler Interesting interpretation.

@BrianB540_22 @Poerbler Yep bailed is used in the proper context - then he got fired.

James: "This isn't the old James Franklin you knew at Penn State, Vega." Vega: "OK." James: "That guy is gone." Vega: "Got it, coach. The Ravens are on the phone if you could stop talking." James: "So it starts with alignment."

@NJNittany @Poerbler If bailed is an alternative term for “got fired,” I suppose this is fair criticism.

@Poerbler Bailed on the dude and the team last year, but always willing to show up for his publicity tour.

@SEC_Schooner @davidpollack47 You can’t be a real person

@davidpollack47 Typical bait and switch. He’s also a bad parajumper that just cost VT a hefty bill for fixing the damages he caused by ramming into their Jumbotron sending debris out into the bystanders below. He’s still responsible for his actions. Would you call him a hero if he got a DUI?

Honored to have the chance to speak with @pashapalanker this week. The word 'hero' is thrown around a lot, but he most certainly is one! Watch: youtube.com/live/DA4lY-Nrx… Listen: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/see…

@SDAlvy43 @DonV757_ He was a definitely a notable part of it. Pretty unfair to say it was mostly on him. You never said you were bitter, true. Your beating up on him once he’s gone is inherently bitter. Someone can say they aren’t an alcoholic—but if they drink a case every night 🤷‍♂️

@BrianB540_22 @DonV757_ Again, never said I was bitter. Yall not reading lol. But you mention “bad” teams he was on… they were mainly “bad” bc of him. We had the most returning talent in the country one of his years and he couldn’t put it together. That’s factual, not opinionated. I’m not bitter 😂

We won 3 games, im positive i understand. But its over he cant lose another game in Maroon, so why not just wish him well goin forward? Hes never bashed nobody, he took his lumps and never quit on his teammates.

@SDAlvy43 @DonV757_ Maybe consider what is making you so bitter toward a guy who always represented the school well on bad teams and through adverse situations. The fact he rose above and never chirped at people like you on social media is enough for many of us to support him.

@DonV757_ Sure, I 100% agree, I have zero problem wishing him well, but specifically in reference to your post about “claiming” him, I won’t do that. That’s all I’m saying. Hope he does well, but I’m not gonna brag about him if he gets picked up.

@PennStateMafia Now that we’ve all been exposed to your fans over the last few months, this actually makes a ton of sense.

Guys a class act! Always respectful and thankful for the fans!

@MorrisMulberry @ForbesWakeHoops And his relevant experience aside from that was working for who…..his Dad.

@ForbesWakeHoops The lack of self awareness here is astounding 🤣🤣 he works for your former assistant? No way?! 🤣🤣🤣🤣

My son did not land on 3rd base. He was a manager for 4 years, a GA for 2 years, and a video coordinator for 6 years. He has more experience than I did when I got my 1st Asst D1 job at Idaho. He is working for my former Asst who got his 1st shot as HC at 53. Miss me with this.

@WanderingHokie @VT4L_Joe In all fairness, he’s had some failures, as well. He’s spent a lot of money on a rebranding that nobody wanted. Terrible management at helping the town grow with the University. There has been a lot of good growth for sure—but it’s been peppered with some bad decisions also.

@VT4L_Joe More MAGA bs I am sure. Sands is 68 and likely ready to retire, but he has done much good for the University

I’ve got to give credit to the BOV for forcing Tim Sands out. Wait until you hear how all this went down. Whit’s resignation is next

@RVASportsGuy @SethOnHoops @HokiesMBB So you have to donate to the program to have an opinion about it? Not the fact they donated their life to it for a period of time. A period of time where we went from nothing in the Big East to competitive in the ACC. A ton of big wins. They don’t get an opinion, but you do??

@SethOnHoops @HokiesMBB You don’t want this smoke Seth. You need to sit this out too

MD gave so much to @HokiesMBB and the university. An amazing ambassador for the university and program. He was a true student athlete. Please don't disrespect him. The guy was an everyday guy on and off the court.

@Hokies2022 Lawal had a great career and we should appreciate him. At the same time, he was a very key part to several of our late game meltdowns. It wasn’t like the lack of success happened parallel to him.

I cannot believe how we have wasted Tobi Lawal.

@treadmillhorse @Basketb22063193 Agreed. But I wouldn’t fire him for that, personally. If it becomes a trend year over year, maybe that’s a conversation

@BrianB540_22 @Basketb22063193 The significant mental lapses at the end of games can’t skirt criticism

Mike Young has had a decent season but I feel like he underperformed his talent level this year. Next year will be telling but I agree it’s too soon to get rid of him. He’s a good coach but roster mismatch issues have been a common occurrence since he arrived at VT

@NathanBnewsin @BillyRayTweets You can weigh the opinion if you want, but also understand it means 75% of coaches would get fired from their respective schools every year. The fact of the matter is most noisy fans are unrealistic or lack true knowledge of what they are watching. Groupthink makes it worse.

@BillyRayTweets I think it’s very fair to weigh the opinion of a fanbase who watches every minute of every game, compared to guys behind a monitor who look at box scores. If you watch this team day in and day out, it’s a solid (not great) team that should absolutely be in the tournament.

Nate, Welcome back. Given your 9-5 I thought you’d be more adept at presenting full context. Especially when judging this year given the injuries and other occurrences over the season. It’s also worth pointing out that the Hokies were considered a bubble team by most coming into the year. Which is *checks notes* exactly where we are. It is an indisputable fact that Mike Young has overachieved over the totality of his tenure given the funding of this program and I fully believe he is the best option moving forward. You and others are certainly open to feeling differently. Also, you have “take” written in your response which is ironic given the fact that you often bring nothing to the table in these discussions you tend to just yell loudly “I DISAGREE WITH YOU” and offer no actual stance. You can do better than this and disagree while also standing for something. I believe in you!

@treadmillhorse @Basketb22063193 And if you fire him, the odds you get someone as good or better at a reasonable cost is not super likely. You maybe break even at best. We are way too reactive and overinflate our basketball job amongst the landscape.

@treadmillhorse @Basketb22063193 The problem is unfair, unrealistic criticism. At what point other than this year has the roster performed under its an ability? While we didn’t meet overall expectation from the preseason, we barely missed it and there is clear reason for it.

@dumbfuckancap @3YearLetterman @Jamesfrank10559 You’re doing the Lord’s work.

Just STFU you anti American liberals

@Just4memes69 @patfinn45 The very simple presumption is that the successes you’re mentioning is what he wishes to re-establish. And we want that. Nobody with half a brain in the Hokie fan base is put off by this. In fact, it’s exactly what the dream scenario was when he was hired..re-establish VT FB

@patfinn45 As a Penn Stater that has most of his family that are Tech fans/alm, this is fucking trash. You just going to throw away all the history of Tech?? Beamer ball, Vick, Lunch pail football?

PSU fans crying about this, or even having an opinion on this, is insane. stay in your lane bröther. Re-established 2026. Is INCREDIBLE.

@zach_seyko We would like to be re-established. We had a great run from the late 90s to the early 2010s. If he wants to re-establish that and bring success back, I don’t care much how he brands it. Somebody below compared him to Buzz. I get theatrics get old, but we didnt want to lose him.

This is a perfect example of what I said from the beginning... Virginia Tech WANTS this from James Franklin. They think this kind of stuff is cool. They view Franklin as an ambassador that can lead them to a college football promise land. He can do no wrong. Most Penn State fans either hated these antics or grew tired of them over time.
