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.

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.
