It was only a matter of time. Gobbler Country’s baseball guru, John Schneider, predicted this outcome some time back. You can read John’s excellent analysis here. The Hokies were not happy with the performance of the baseball team, and Whit Babcock pulled the trigger. The announcement came via @hokiesports earlier today.
I had only one interaction with former coach, Patrick Mason. He struck me as a good guy, and was happy to get some pub for the baseball team. I spoke with Mason more than a year ago about the facilities at Virginia Tech, and I could tell it struck a nerve.
