Sons of Saturday: Virginia Tech Hokies

BRM is puzzled by some of Hokie Nation's anti-James Franklin stance as it pertains to the Virginia Tech job.

Reacting to the Hokies' loss to Georgia Tech and giving a fair read on how we all should view the rest of this season. We also react to the breaking news of James Franklin's firing and the crazy coaching carousel we are about to be in the thick of.

The Hokies are headed on the road as double-digit dogs to take on the highest-ranked Georgia Tech team in a decade. Can Virginia Tech play spoiler? Or, will Georgia Tech climb to 6-0 for the first time since the NINETEEN FIFTIES!?

The Hokies were on the losing end again after Jake Dickert, Robby Ashford, and the Demon Deacons marched out of Lane Stadium with a dub. VT couldn't get out of its own way amidst a tsunami of penalties, gaffes, and offensive futility. Newsletter: https://sonsofsaturday.us10.list-mana...
