Perspective: And now for some good news!

It's been 7 months since I posted about perspective on the football season. That was 1 month prior to two fantastic young ladies moved across country to their new home in Virginia. Now at 6 months of fostering, my wife and I have officially applied for adoptions.

There is so much uncertainty in VT sports and its tough but these girls have been through so much that not knowing what is going to happen to the ACC or can we field a basketball team, who will coach the women's team are minor worries. We thought Bonnie was the answer to WBB 20 years ago, then we thought it was Kenny. We might take a few steps back, but lots of schools have had cycles of good and bad coaches. We can get back to having a good team.

We're now out of a power conference even though we didn't join a power conference until 2000. We have been here before. This is familiar territory, and while it might be a set back, we have shown were one good play from 2nd place for wrestling, we have a string of NCAA tournament runs in MBB, we got a top 6 recruiting class in WBB with basically no resources. We're in a conference that was 1 basket away from having 50% of the elite 8.

Our football team was the only unranked team to win 7 games by 17 points or more. We return a lot of that team.

I think Sands has a lot of work ahead of him to guide VT into the future, what every that maybe. Whit has some tough decisions to make with hiring a new WBB coach, 20 time ACC CoY T&F coach, and what to do with Mike Young.

There will be changes, because that is the only constant. Yet my goal is to provide stability to the two girls that haven't known it even in the wake of change. So while it's kind of a dick move for Kenny to not say goodbye, it's not important to us fans, he gone, the fans are who stays, we are the stability, we are the support to the athletes and administration in what are always tumultuous times.
