BTP: It's been an up and down season for the Hokies so far. Coming off of two straight losses to ECU and Pitt, what is the general sentiment around Blacksburg about the state of the program?
PB: To put it bluntly, the sentiment is certainly not positive. After the Hokies' 10-win season streak ended in 2012, Tech has really struggled to recapture the blue collar, hard-nosed mystique that characterized Frank Beamer-coached teams for over fifteen years. Recently we've seen the Hokies rise to the occasion (2014 versus Ohio State) and completely crap the bed (2014 versus Wake Forest).
