Wow!
Inside Virginia Tech's Internal Turnaround After a Season of Division and Negativity"Do not catch a touchdown. If you catch a touchdown, I’m going to have to fight you."
Tre Turner’s own Virginia Tech teammates encouraged him and other players to concede the Hokies’ Dec. 1 game against Marshall last year, a game that determined if the season would extend to a bowl trip. As unbelievable as they are, these quotes are real, says Turner and other Tech players.
"I really hope we lose."
The comments came from the mouths of a small group of players no longer on the team, guys who meant to cripple their own squad just hours before the regular season finale. Just a wide-eyed true freshman receiver last season, Turner was struck by the vitriol of his own teammates.
"Well, if we lose we can go home early and don’t have to go to a bowl game."
