Pat McAfee praises Virginia Tech’s fan base as “awesome.”
How good can the Virginia Tech Hokies be in 2024? If you ask any Virginia Tech fan, they’d tell you they believe the Hokies will be really good next season.
Tech returns 20 starters in the fall and faces a favorable schedule. Outside of VT’s four non-conference games, the Hokies only play two of the projected top eight teams in ACC play. One of those two games is against Clemson and it will be in Lane Stadium.
Last week, the “Pat McAfee Show” was discussing possible long shot teams to make the 2024 College Football Playoffs. Remember, the field expands from four teams to 12 teams next season, so that helps teams like the Hokies. Most college football fans would tell you it’s the same group of teams involved in the CFP every year, and this is a welcome change.
Anthony DiGuilio, who goes by the name of “Tone Digz” on McAfee’s show, brought up the Hokies. He listed reasons why he thinks Virginia Tech will steal one of those 12 spots.
Check it out:
“Virginia Tech finished fourth in the ACC last season and Kyron Drones wasn’t the starter early..
Once he became the starter they were rattling off wins and they have twenty returning starters”@ToneDigz #PMSLive https://t.co/ba1Zc8e0gF pic.twitter.com/xd9gKggpKy
Did you notice how McAfee called Virginia Tech’s fan base “awesome?” McAfee played at West Virginia, so he knows all about Hokie Nation. Unfortunately for him, he didn’t get the chance to play in Blacksburg, but he knows how special the game-day atmosphere is at Lane Stadium. McAfee said if the Hokies were somehow able to host a CFP game in Blacksburg, it would be “stuuuuupendous.”
What do you think, Hokies? Do you think Virginia Tech has a shot at the College Football Playoffs next season?
