2020 Offseason Thread

[Buzzbomb]

When is this year's Georgia Tech Spring Game played?

It’s usually a Friday or Saturday in mid to late April.
Sorry, I couldn’t pinpoint it better. They might not announce it until February.
It generally rains on us or threatens to.

In the LSU pregame show the idiot announcers said Clemson wasn't the best team that LSU has played this season and that Clemson had no playmakers on defense

Thanks for saying that. I didn't know who the sec was playing tonight.

There are rumors that Baylor is interested in hiring Virginia Tech head football coach Justin Fuente as their next head football coach

More than rumors now. He is interviewing for sure. Fuente wants out, I believe.

According to the most recent Sugiura article, it should be released by the end of This month. Last year it was 1/16.

Also of note from that article, we’re likely to open with Clemson at Bobby Dodd or at Syracuse.

There are 5 acc teams with full ooc schedules that have an open slot week 1, meaning one of them could start with a bye unless an ooc game is moved. I guess we could move Garner Webb pretty easily if needed.

I think Baylor will hire Justin Fuente also and Virginia Tech will fall toward the bottom of the ACC Coastal Division

I’ll pass on Clemson. I got a felling that’s gonna be one pissed off team coming out game 1.
We might not beat Cuse but I’d rather ease into the season a little.

Football Scoop says Bobby Petrino will be hired at Missouri State (FCS). Of course, yesterday they said it would be Art Briles.

I think Fuente would do fine at Baylor. Something is rotten in Blacksburg that goes beyond whoever the coach is.

And the Virginia Tech fans have absurd expectations

That's a nice hire by Missouri State and Bobby Petrino will have them in the FCS Playoffs is the future

I hope this doesn't happen, I don't think that would be a good place to start for 2020 ...

... speaking of vs. Clemson.

At Syracuse wouldn't be too bad I think Syracuse will go 6-6 at the most.

I don't know that this is really accurate. But, something is amiss with their recruiting right now.

I wonder if the NCAA is sniffing around?

Given how they've recruited in the last four years, the Coastal is probably breathing a sigh of relief that they appear to be having some trouble. And, yes, I'd assume that the NCAA is involved in this, albeit under the table.

Too bad for Bud. If he had been given the job instead of Fuentes, I'd guess that the ship would be sailing with no trouble. His deciding to retire could be the signal of Big Trouble in Little China, however.

Virginia Tech head coach Justin Fuente has been named Baylor head football coach and i've heard he was at a press conference in Waco with his wife at 2:30 Central Time.
