James Franklin vs regional airports has arrived at Virginia Tech
#Hokies head coach James Franklin: “I think when you're in places like Blacksburg, Virginia… it becomes more complicated to travel than maybe some other locations because you don't have an international airport within 45 minutes of campus.”

I don’t think there’s a serious risk of James Franklin being involved in the FSU opening.
However, will Jimmy Sexton try to put his name out there to get Franklin a raise and further resources? I’d be very surprised if Sexton didn’t, that’s what he does #Hokies

@TimThomasTLP Do you think there’s a risk with Franklin?

U20 world champion Aaron Seidel opened his 2026-27 season for Virginia Tech in dominant fashion.
The #3 133-pounder won the 133-pound title at the Southeast Open with tech falls or pins in every match. This included a 15-0 first period tech fall win over WVU’s Gunner Andrick, who is #10 at 133. He only reached the second period once in his matches.
Tremendous start for Seidel to his sophomore season #Hokies

Here’s who I think Florida State should pursue:
Wake Forest HC Jake Dickert (he’d be the top target)
UCLA HC Bob Chesney (Bruins don’t have the resources that FSU has, can build a more consistent winner)
BYU HC Kalani Sitake (has built a strong program at BYU, FSU can offer a higher ceiling)
SMU HC Rhett Lashlee (I don’t think FSU is enough of an upgrade to get Lashlee to move but has done well in Dallas)
Duke HC Manny Diaz (solid tenure at Duke so far, not top of the board but definitely intriguing)
New Mexico HC Jason Eck (rising star, proven winner at multiple levels at programs that were down bad in Idaho and UNM)
Memphis HC Charles Huff (has won at multiple places, strong recruiter and knows how to use the transfer portal effectively)
Texas HC Steve Sarkisian (unlikely but he could be ready for a reset as his seat gets warmer in Austin, especially if Texas misses the CFP)

FSU fires Norvell. Not sure how that search is gonna work with FSU not having an AD and their AD search not even running yet despite making that move over a month ago.
Should be the best job available by far and get a lot of the administrative mess around that job hurts it greatly

Wallace Wade Stadium is one of the most underrated stadiums in the country. Simple, clean stadium. Love the open concourse setup. Not a bad seat in the house.
Press box is great there too with the ability to open the windows and make it open air on a nice day. Very nice stadium

The bar for Duke is a basically don’t be the worst power conference stadium and they passed it
I do have some that are actually the worst

Virginia Tech is 30th after receiving 12 voting points. Good chance winner of VT vs SMU (who is 29th) will be in next week’s top 25 #Hokies

Ohio State falls out of the top 10, UCLA cracks the top 5 and New Mexico earns its first-ever ranking in the AP Top 25 poll. See where your team landed.

Bo Bassett is the world champion at 65kg, defeating Vazgen Tevanyan of Armenia 9-1 in the final.
What an incredible achievement to win the world championship at such a young age.
Virginia Tech has the best pound-for-pound collegiate wrestler, and he hasn’t even made his collegiate debut. #Hokies
