IDK that Franklin will ever reach the pinnacle but he knows how to build a 9-10 win program. VT will be back to being ranked soon enough.

Mister KSU.

Really thought 2012 was the year they’d finally pull it off, and back in 1998 during his first tenure they came a hair’s breadth from the BCS title game.

2000 Michael Vick


His performance in the Sugar Bowl vs FSU was one of the best individual performances I have ever seen. FSU had the better team but he was the best athlete on the field.

He has an absolute hose. It’s a shame certain circumstances cost us a lot of his prime.

It was the 99 team. I remember because I was commuting between Chicago and lower Michigan that season.

Can't be correct. I was told that Les Miles and Ogre both won titles at LSU, so that meant Brian Kelly was guaranteed to win one.
