The A.C.C. spring meetings are heating up, and Gobbler Country was lucky enough to chat with A.D. Whit Babcock. Babcock has had some serious decisions to make in his tenure.  He helped transition the football program to a new head coach.  He handled that particularly delicate matter with class and respect.  Babcock and his team did a masterful job welcoming head coach Justin Fuente to Blacksburg, while being mindful of the Frank Beamer legacy.  Babcock also hired Buzz Williams, who has turned around the fortunes of the men’s basketball program.  The basketball team is currently projected as a potential Top 25 team for next season.  The indoor facility adjacent to Lane Stadium is one of the finest of the country, and the envy of many in the A.C.C.  As you might imagine, Whit Babcock is a tremendously busy man, and we were lucky to have him for five questions. -Roy Hatfield, Gobbler Country, Read More
