The Official UVa-VT Rivalry Thread (as discussed on both boards)

  • CAVALCADE said...

    This has really devolved and its ridiculous that its entering the political realm now. To get back to the topic of whether or not UVA is on the rise and it is effecting Tech I will say this, UVA has drastically improved recruiting since London arrived. Tech has remained steadily solid as well. One of the points I saw raised on the UVA board is not necessarily that UVA is whooping up on tech in recruiting, in fact its fairly even, rather that UVA's recent success in recruiting comes at the direct expense of Tech. UVA essentially abandoned the state under Groh, and tech was able to get every good player in the state that wanted to stay local, thats HUGE. These days UVA is picking up a good deal of talent and it is reducing the depth and talent level of Tech. Tech is still a very good and talented team however Mike London is bad for business in that he is reducing the pool of talent Tech has available. All gameday coaching aside its a real pleasure to get free reign to your entire state and if you look back to groh's last couple years tech had it in the bag. I think this year demonstrated some of techs growing deficiencies and depth was a primary one. Furthermore I think London erased the anti-uva stigma that groh created within the state and I think that will have a lasting effect. Whether or not UVA beats tech in the next five years or not, they have made life more difficult for VT and the coaching staff to compete for the ACC or nationally. I also think UVA recruits pretty well in the northeast and in maryland and has a growing presence in NC. VT does alright nationally as well but that is going to need to improve to counteract the growing recruiting power struggle in VA.

    I'd agree with that. The question remains is can London consistently recruit that well and affect VT's recruiting in turn.

    Wowww, ECU had a higher average attendance than UVA. That is pathetic.

    Yeah and you guys actually averaged 65K, what a crock of shit, why don't you go to scanning tickets and report actual attendance like UVA does. Yeah the UVA game was sold out but you were lucky if there were actually 55K in the staduim and you guys reported a sell out off 66,500. Give me a break, if saying you have that many fans in the seats make you feel good go for it but VT is just trying to make sure their fans think tickets are hard to come by so they can charge more and re-seat more often.

    He was quoted in an article that he did but hasn't told London such...that's lame either way.

    Too above reasonable post: UVA is improving it's talent more by adding the classes it is and getting rid of the low ranked classes Al brought in at the end...but those players were the heart of a 8-5 team. Until you all start RSing player that are completely ill prepared to play D1 ball as freshmen you aren't really improving, you are treading water. Q Moore is a perfect example of a kid that would likely be a great 5th year Sr, but he played in what a couple dozen special teams plays this year? And London and crew did do a ton of work to improve the thought of UVA to many instate programs, but much of that was likely undone by your admin firing coached in what usually done the step before the HC gets fired the following season.

    I don't know how many wins you all need for London to keep his job after the 13 season but you aren't exactly loaded for bear heading into next year:

    Although for OOS you only have:
    PSU
    VMI
    Ball State
    UTEP

    No, Chavis did not. And BTW, plenty of Hokie posters have done the exact same thing, including MHTY and tysonvt.

    Yea, I've really hidden behind a computer on here, I've posted my name 1000 times, hosted a golf tournament that members of both sites competed in. In which my name was plastered everywhere on both sites.

    It's called idiotic. You say you manned up, when you got pissed that I posted your name, why? You liked the anonymity, that's why.

    I'm fine with everyone knowing who I am, I've got nothing to hide, nor do I care what some people on the fucking Internet have to say. I can assure you there is not one thing a poster on here could say, that would anger me to the point that I'd want to fight them. And I have some very close friends that post on both boards. Then again, I'm only 28, so maybe I haven't reached your level of maturity yet.

    Seriously? Whose ass any of you gonna whoop? I bet between the 3 of you, you've never blacked an eye or spilled a drop of anybody's blood.

    I got an uncle that is 87, and I'd put $100 on him to whoop any of your asses. I'd do it myself, but he's a preacher, and probably drag y'all down to the creek and baptize you heathens when he was done whooping your asses.

    tugard, you purposefully use poor grammar and poor spelling, and because of that, you assume that I must assume that you are black. Honestly, had not a clue. Never actually took even a split second to wonder if you were white or black. Didn't care, still don't. Earlier you used "too" correctly. For some reason, professional and educated people, black and white, have trouble with that one. That fact that you used it correctly makes it clear you are not an ignorant, nor uneducated man. Why you make a deliberate effort to portray yourself that way is for reasons known only to you.

    In this case however, you made the assumption that I was stereotyping you based on your deliberate efforts to butcher the English language. Then you can cry prejudice and racism, and redneck, and on and on and on and on. There is obviously a very racist person posting in this thread, and I hate to break it to you, but that would be you.

    I dnt knw wht the hell u just said but i do knw u have an issue with gays, obama and retards and for tht reasoon u a typical redneck va tech fan. Now go start up some more lies about our black coach. I guess your will say how he kept all his recruits without cheating and thy loss so many coaches. Tht b next

    Ahhh UVA logic. On the rise= 4 less wins this year, and firing coaches. You rose from 8-5 to 4-8 and cleane shop on the wrong side of the ball.

    Very nervous. My hands would be shaking, but the ACC title rings are too heavy.

    More lies about your coach? Never told one about him before, but let me try a couple

    Mike London is a damn good game coach
    Mike London is a world class clock manager
    Mike London owns Frank Beamer and VT

    Ok, there's a few big time lies about your coach.

  • Rising?

    You average about the 25th best recruiting class in the country, you have a bottom 25 coach in the country. The on field results reflect that combination: 16-21 overall, 8-16 in the ACC. Why you all expect otherwise is beyond me?

    But he is good at beating D1AA teams! 4 of his 16 wins are vs FCS teams....a whooping 12-21 vs D1.

    You're "so bad" because you only won 4 games. Simple as that.

    Well, to begin with, we weren't very good either....uva just sucked more than we did.

    But if you sit back and really think about it, your boys had 30 yards rushing, didn't drive into the red zone the entire game and scored one offensive touchdown. It took a fluke fumble return for a TD to make it close. I guess, when you can't beat VT even when they have a down year, it must suck which is why you're spewin' all of the racist BS. When all else fails, throw out the race card. Maybe you ought to go back to describing your encounters with drag queens in bars...it's much more entertaining.
