ACC Media Days are here, and among everybody who spoke to the press today, head coach Brent Pry was one of them. Pry had a lot to say about Virginia Tech cultur
e, Lane Stadium, and the gameday atmosphere. Pry took a number of questions when Virginia Tech's presser began, and shared bits of valuable information looking toward the season ahead.BRENT PRY: I appreciate y'all. Exciting day. I love being able to talk about our Hokies. It's a long day. I told the guys they'll feel like they got their butt kicked at the end of it.
We've got players that decided to return and spurn the NFL, spurn other opportunities, maybe to make more money. We have coaches that turned down opportunities to stay at Virginia Tech. There's a belief in our team. There's a belief in our process. The culture is strong. To me, that's where it starts.BRENT PRY: I think first of all for me it's about doing things the right way, at a high level. We're doing that.
BRENT PRY: It's hard for me to talk about that because right now all I want to talk about is our pre-season camp. But I do understand what that rivalry means to Virginia Tech faithful, to the alum, to the fans, former players. I was part of some big games in the three years that I was at Virginia Tech. I do understand that.
BRENT PRY: I think that's valuable for anybody. You want that. I think it goes into bringing the right people into your program, guys that want to be at Tech for the right reasons. I think for all of us, you love the competition, you love playing in front of big crowds, the excitement of the entrance. So we're very fortunate that way.
I think I'm blessed and fortunate to have been around some great coaches, guys that cared about the players, relationship-oriented. I still today when I see Coach Beamer, I feel like a young GA. I just want to make him proud. I got a ton of respect for him.
