Hokies Post Game Press

I know they were sad and probably in shock, but that was perhaps the most boring presser I've ever watched. Those three would make for a short and excruciating interview.

Fuente is way too mellow. It's like he downs a handful of Valium/Xanax before walking out to the field

Butch learned after last week's whinefest...didn't interrupt their postgame pity party to congratulate them.

I really think the VT guys were just sad. They put a lot of emotion on this game, and it was a big game. One which both teams thought they could win. Probably would have seen a much uplifting PC if VT had won.

I'm sure there were about a dozen mentions of resilience and complimentary football.

Does UT have a course Butch can take to expand his vocabulary? I understand getting a bazillion questions and people asking the same ones but Geez, it really gets on people's nerves....especially mine. The coach speak is becoming a killer; makes you not even want to listen to his pressers.

I don't any more. If he says anything noteworthy it'll get posted here within minutes.

it's his way of staying on message. He is extremely disciplined in his approach to the media. Even though it's BORING.

Repetition and staying on message is how politicians get elected though. You can go off the cuff at times and succeed but it just might back fire on you. Coaches have a lot in common as politicians actually.

Granted Butches "staying on message" gets old sometimes and frankly boring because weve heard it a thousand times before - but aren't sports in general repetitive - we watch TV analysts say the same darn things a thousand times but about different teams. And don't blink an eye- but they are hardly saying anything new.

"This team lost because they could capitalize on its chances to score more points then the other guy" ... No **** Sherlock.


I don't really listen unless I'm driving back and catch Butches post game interviews.

Now with that said I wouldn't have minded him saying after the App St game that we played like crap and still found a way to win but also say that it won't happen next week. A little less coach speak and not more frankness would be cool.

Even though he wasn't frank about it in his own way he meant it (had to read between the lines) that we played poorly - of course not as bluntly as say Saban over the weekend.

It's a process.

So, no one liked CFF's "We gotta go back and watch the film" or CBJ's "Resilience and Complimentary Football" I take it. Which do you prefer?

Virginia Tech is not that far away from being a very good football team. They could be an 8/9 game winner with cutting down mistakes. Fuente is an excellent coach and I believe you will see some real production from that offense soon.
