There has been a running theme about the growing apathy and, for lack of a better term "fandom", by the current students or recent Hokie graduates returning to Lane. See: paper airplanes, leaving early during games, starting the wave, being somewhat less passionate than the old guard (again I'm painting with a broad brush here).
I had some downtime at work today and decided to look at the state of VT Football when I was at school vs. what you would be experiencing if you were currently a Senior at Virginia Tech today. I was really blown away by the difference in my experience vs. the current student body.
I attended VT from 2000-2005. At some point during each season, VT was ranked in the top #10 and had a winning streak of at least 6 games during each season.
2000-2001: 11-1 (highest rank during season #2, finished #6)
2001-2002: 8-4 (highest rank during the season #5, finished #18)
- Ranked Wins: None
- Longest Winning Streak: 6
- Bowl win: No
2002-2003: 10-4 (highest rank during season #3, #14/#18)
- Ranked Wins: #14 LSU, #16 Marshall, #19 Texas A&M
- Longest Winning Streak: 8
- Bowl win: Yes
2003-2004: 8-5 (highest rank during season #3, finished unranked)
- Ranked Wins: #2 Miami
- Longest Winning Streak: 6
- Lost to UVA
- Bowl win: No
2004-2005: 10-3 (highest rank during season #9, finished #10)
- Ranked Wins: #7 WVU, #16 UVA, #9 Miami
- Longest Winning Streak: 8
- Bowl Win: No
Overall Record: 47- 17 (73%)
Wins Against Ranked Teams: 8
Bowl Record: 2-3
If you were a Senior now, this is your football experience at VT. During that time they have never been in the top #10, have had one winning streak longer than 6 games, and beat 3 ranked teams.
2012: 7-6
Highest Rank (#13, unranked)
Ranked Wins: None
Longest Win Streak: 3
Bowl win: Yes
2013: 8-5
Highest Rank (#16, unranked)
Ranked Wins: #14 Miami
Longest Win Streak: 6
Bowl win: No
2014: 7-6
- Highest Rank (#17,finished unranked)
- Ranked Wins: #8 Ohio State, #19 Duke
- Longest Win Streak: 2
- Bowl win: Yes
2015: 2-2
Record: 24-19 (55%)
Wins Against Ranked Teams: 3
Bowl Record: 2-1
A very different college experience indeed. VT's "worst" season during the time I was there would match the ceiling for the time a current student was there. Ouch.
