I guess they are hoping some of the Lacrosse fans get drunk enough to stick around for football. Or maybe they are just making sure the football recruits aren't jealously watching all the fans at the baseball game like last year.

Well if everyone who attended last year brings a friend then 14 people will go. So yeah. Or offer free Zima and Skittles at the tailgate.
Well isn't that adorable.
On a serious note, it makes me sick reading "ACC defensive rookie of the year" and having it attached to UVA. It's the exact same reaction I get when I hear someone went to UVA for engineering. WHY?!?
Did you watch the "highlight reel"? How many times do they have to replay the same interceptions against Richmond and Miami? Maybe just trying to make time so the highlight tape ins't 45 seconds.
But yeah, they had some pretty talented guys on defense last year and it seemed like they were maybe getting somewhere...but with Valles and Harold leaving early and those other guys graduating they're back to square one it seems.
Which I am just fine with. If they stayed at square one for eternity, it wouldn't be long enough. Also in true UVA fashion, they make sure to use plenty of warm up/practice footage. What a joke. Where's Bane Gayle when you need him??
I wish Blanding would have chosen the good guys, but that was an awful highlight reel. it takes a minute of buildup, and then as you mention, it's like 4 plays in the entire season, just showing from different angles. Shirley, they can't be serious.
I'm sure she did the best she could, just like the rest of the women on their football team
Honestly, I was expecting complimentary Zima in the stadium.
What did they do, hire a better photoshopper?
I dunno, their attempts to fill the stadium look pretty successful to me:
I gotta admit, the first thought in my mind when I saw the topic was that LOLUVA had created a photoshop class.
Maybe zinfandel on tap will help? Or signs saying its a wine tasting instead of a football game?
They clearly don't have a BilldozerVT...
They don't even have the Tonka version of Billdozer.
Maybe they should have another movie night.
Cavman, or (The Expected Decade of Dominance)
Even their baseball team sucks (so far) this year.
I thought their Spring Game was on April 18th? Why is it scheduled for a Thursday night?
everyone must want to get it over with as soon as possible so they can get back to their zima parties.
that can't be it, nobody was going to go anyway.
i should have been more clear. i meant the entire season.
Should have been April 1st. Then, at least they could be in on the joke.
did they cut their spring practice short? They can't even be that stupid, can they?
Well, they know VT loves Thursday night games, and we also sort of own their stadium, so in order for their players to actually see a full stadium and feel a "real" game environment, they're counting on us to show up. Come on everyone, let's crash the party!
You know, you might be on to something here. Wouldn't a few hundred Hokies at their spring game rooting against both sides be a real hoot? We'd have their fan outnumbered and have a hell of a time, to boot.
Awesome idea. Would be hilarious!
I see you what you did there.
This actually would be awesome, to just have a whole host of Hokies heckling the crap out of their players during the spring game.
At the risk of repeating a post from another topic, I was told of the VT folks who went to an exhibition basketball game many years ago in Richmond between the Russian National team and UVA. I was told those Hokies wore T shirts that said "Better Red Than UVA" and cheered loudly the entire game for the Russkies. Don't know if I ever knew who won, but, well, everything old can be new again, right? Let's get together and go...it's not like there will be enough of them there to beat us up or anything.
So they are literally and officially making the football program an afterthought of the lacrosse program. How typically LOLUVa.
That truly was a pretty horrible... whatever it was. When your team puts out a highlights tape and the largest percentage of air time is set aside for quotes from a guy that's been dead for 200 years, you're really reaching. Next year maybe they can just show highlights of the Lewis & Clark expedition. That at least could be entertaining.
Holy sh*t as a video editor my eyes bled through the first :40 and then I had to stop it when Imagine Dragons came in. Somebody got paid to make that.
My EARS bled in the first 40 seconds. Was that just me and my computer or was that Van Halen song just mutilated?
I've seen better highlight videos at high school athletic banquets!
Somebody PLEASE post a clip of those 2 wig-wearing Wahoos so I can have a hearty laugh before I head home from work for the weekend....You know the one.....Thanks!
With my own minor modification...
HaaaaaaaaHAAAAHHaaaaaHaHa! Thank you!
