Virginia Tech football schedule to be released in full
The ACC announced that they will begin releasing the 2025 schedules for ACC teams with dates in three phases. Phase 1 was Thursday with Week 0 and 1 games released, but we already knew the Hokies were kicking off the season in Atlanta against South Carolina on Aug. 31. The time has yet to be announced, but with Miami hosting Notre Dame that night, expect a 3:30 kick time when it's officially announced.
See you in Atlanta 😏

Mike Young reveals what wakes him up at night
After a 71-64 loss at Georgia Tech on Wednesday night, Hokies’ men’s basketball coach Mike Young joined the Virginia Tech Sports Network and sounded like a frustrated coach. It was another game where offensive rebounds allowed and turnovers sunk Virginia Tech to their second straight conference loss and the veteran coach revealed what wakes him up at night.
“I wake up almost every night with that very thought, ‘What in the world?” said Young about his team's turnover issues throughout games. “We’re doing everything we can to kind of make it easier for them. We’re doing everything possible.”
Understanding his frustration and thinking is easy. Unforced turnovers throughout a game and questionable decision-making make it too easy on opposing teams. With all the injuries the Yellow Jackets had, that was a game that the Hokies should have won.
