#hokies — Public Fediverse posts

Your O-line update for the day: Layth Ghannam got 1-on-1 reps at LT. Logan Howland was at RT behind Aidan Lynch.

RG Montavious Cunningham looked like he did more than he did last week. Brody Meadows still pretty limited. #Hokies

Did not see LB George Ballance out there today. He left the Pitt game with what looked like a foot/ankle injury in the first half. Foot was in a boot after halftime.

Freshman Terry Wiggins jump up into the second group at will, with Curtis Jones sliding over to mike. #Hokies

#Hokies DT Emmett Laws looked like he was out there doing more today at practice than he has in the past. Was jumping in with the second team on some reps.

Laws has not played yet this year after a spring injury.

A new 10 Things column on ...

The refs are not out to get you, a revamped top five in the ACC, an easier schedule than thought for the #Hokies, can Shane Beamer turn it around and top Kevin Costner movies.

Did the ESPN announcer just call him De’Von Deeabloh?

Please don’t butcher a perfect name: Divine Deablo. 😇 😈 #Hokies

Win or lose, the #Hokies take the same mentality into Sunday's workout: Get better.

Easy to say but tougher in practice after a heartbreaker like Friday against Pitt, but Virginia Tech is trying to turn the page to prepare for a game at Cal.

The #Hokies' home game against Georgia Tech on Oct. 17 will be a 3:30 p.m. kickoff on the ACC Network.

Franklin on what he learned from previous West Coast trips, said he has experience with a limited-sized airport in the program's backyard. #Hokies are bussing to Greensboro to fly out to Cal.

Franklin on John Love following the late miss last week: "A veteran guy. I expect him to handle it well like everything else he has in his career." #Hokies

Franklin said team is leaving for Cal on Thursday after driving to Greensboro to fly out. #Hokies

James Franklin is here for his weekly press conference. Said team was good about accountability and asking honest questions on Sunday before their workout. #Hokies

#Hokies are currently a 10.5-point favorite for their game at Cal this week.

RE: https://ext.sportsbots.xyz/users/156461982/statuses/2106712592190464468

Seems about right. #Hokies outgained Pitt by more than 200 yards. A minus-4 turnover ratio is no way to go through life.

On another glance at a high angle, that kick really didn't look like it went through.

More on that, plus costly mistakes, a more glaring bad call (in my opinion), Grunkemeyer's arm talent and what's ahead for the #Hokies in my 5 Thoughts column:

https://techsideline.com/subscription/2026/10/03/5-thoughts-the-day-after-the-hokies-loss-to-pitt

That field goal was good! #Hokies

That kick was good!! Or was it?! Ehh ... it's really tough to tell. What's certain is what was on the scoreboard afterward: Pitt 35, Virginia Tech 33.

My column on Friday's controversial finish and a #Hokies FG attempt that'll be talked about for years:

https://techsideline.com/subscription/2026/10/03/bitter-was-it-good-hokies-last-second-controversy

Franklin on Love: "I'd put him back out there for the same situation every single time." #Hokies

Franklin explains why the #Hokies lost: "Since the beginning of time: turnovers and explosive plays. ... It came back to bite us."

Franklin said John Love typically likes his kicks from the right side or right-middle. That's why the #Hokies ran a few times to that side at the end.

Franklin: "I had so much confidence that that thing was going to go through." #Hokies

James Franklin is here for the post-game presser after the #Hokies' 35-33 loss to Pitt: "Everybody's going to focus on the last play. We're going to watch this tape and there's 20 plays that we could have made to change the game."

Critical piece here. Not reviewable if higher than the uprights. #Hokies

I’ve often wondered why goal post uprights aren’t taller. Or at least have some kind of sensors going straight up. Feels like this one will be debated for a while. #Hokies

Virginia Tech misses 36 yard FG for the win !!

35-33 #Pitt beats #Hokies

Pat Narduzzi wants voters to “We have a helluva of a football team”

“Voters need to wake their ass up”

RE: https://ext.sportsbots.xyz/users/1917598767307493376/statuses/2106214311483912339

Man, that was close. Both officials underneath the goalposts were adamant that it missed. #Hokies

RE: https://sportsbots.xyz/users/AndyBitterVT/statuses/2106213813351751880

Hooked it to the left. Love went to the officials afterward, arguing he made it. No dice. Ballgame. #Hokies

John Love's 36-yard FG at the gun is NO GOOD. Pitt wins 35-33. WOW. #Hokies

Timeout by the #Hokies with three seconds left.

Sets up a 35-yard FG attempt by John Love to win it when play resumes.

RE: https://sportsbots.xyz/users/AndyBitterVT/statuses/2106212125513277880

Can't understate what an onion throw this was by Grunkemeyer. #Hokies

Overton runs off the left edge for 10 yards to the Pitt 19-yard line. 38 seconds left. #Hokies

Grunkemeyer has all day and fires a missile into tight coverage that Luke Reynolds catches for 23 yards on fourth-and-5. #Hokies

Fourth-and-5 coming up for the #Hokies after that short Luke Reynolds catch. Tech calls timeout with 1:19 left.

Whose number are you calling here?

Ethan Grunkemeyer has 404 yards passing tonight. Joins Bryan Randall (504, Syracuse, 2002) and Jerod Evans (406, Pitt, 2016) as only #Hokies QBs to do it since 1987.

Hawkins with some tough yards on third-and-2, gets to the sticks. First-and-10 #Hokies at their own 41. A Pitt player is down with 2:02 left in the game.

RE: https://sportsbots.xyz/users/AndyBitterVT/statuses/2106208905499988370

Virginia Tech takes over at its 20 with 3:51 left, down two. #Hokies

#Hokies get a stop. Will get the ball back with a little under four minutes left down 35-33.

Shanked punt goes just 15 yards. Pitt takes over at its 45. Ouch. #Hokies

Back-shoulder pass to Davion "FatRat" Brown on third-and-11 goes for 14 yards. #Hokies

RE: https://sportsbots.xyz/users/BruceFeldmanCFB/statuses/2086764116795179043

DT Kemari Copeland, LB Kaleb Spencer and two former #Hokies are on this list (one that I was shocked is still playing college football).

Always a fun read from Bruce.

Franklin on the O-line. Said the biggest challenge is how you get the best five on the field.

"I do think we have some girth and length to have some position flexibilty as well."

Said it's tough to evaluate right now. #Hokies have only had one practice in pads so far.

#DCHokiesSoccer improves to 2-0 on the season!
#hokies #soccer #arlingtonva

The Fightin’ Gobblers took home a W in our first match of the summer 2026 season! Amazing teamwork, with nods to Yaya and Max for their goals, Eric for his 2 assists, and Jonathan for his 2 goals and 2 assists 👀. Tristan helped keep a few risky shots out of our net too. Great job, everyone!

BREAKING: After 12 years with the #Hokies, athletic director Whit Babcock is out.

Virginia Tech announced Thursday afternoon that the 55-year-old is retiring, the latest in the sweeping changes among the school's leadership.

https://virginiatech.sportswar.com/article/2026/04/23/virginia-tech-athletic-director-whit-babcock-announces-retirement/

CB Jaquez White down at the end of the first play of the second half. Trainers were looking at his left knee. They're helping him off. Pretty significant if serious. He's probably the #Hokies' CB1.

They’ve got him in the bucket. #Hokies

Emergency personnel are attempting to get to the parachuter. #Hokies

Holy cow, one of the pre-game parachuters hit the scoreboard. #Hokies
