I'm going to just throw anything I see in here and I'll definitely breakdown the 11am Pry speech. I hope to get the individual interviews broken down this evening, but feel free to add anything y'all see from media days in the comments.
I haven't seen a full video from teams' podium time, unfortunately. It looks like the ACCN is just posting snippets to their YouTube channel. SI has what looks to be a transcript of Pry's time on the podium here and I took some interesting snippets from that.
Update: hokiesports came through.
- Short and sweet opening remarks, thanks fans and admin and touches on selling out 5 of 6 last season. Says we have great momentum and the guys are invested. Looking forward to what the team can do this year.
- Touches on the team culture a few times, bringing up that players and coaches have spurned other opportunities to be able to play for each other. Brings up that when he asks players if they like it at Tech almost everyone says they love it. Big contributing factor to our returning production.
- I don't want to read too much into this, but it's the first time I remember Pry saying the team is paying attention to details and has the right mentality without the caveat of still having to coach "football 101". If that's true and those remarks don't come back during camp, then I think Pry is truly expecting a step forward this year.
- Proud of the WR room, went from one of the weakest to one of the strongest units on the team from preseason 2023 to now.
- Coaching staff treating DMV like home turf. "It makes too much sense for us." Cites the ease of a trip to Bburg, the talent, and the relationships to our staff.
- "This is a place where you should expect to compete for the playoffs and expect to compete for a championship. That's who Tech is." 🎤⬇️
- Biggest win of the off-season was that nobody came off the gas.
