THE BURG ONLY REACHING 7TH PLACE?! LOLUVA DOESN'T EVEN PLAY FOOTBALL SERIOUSLY; AUTOMATIC DISQUALIFICATION! I DECLARE SHENANIGANS!

VT '10--US Citizen; (804) Virginian By Birth; (979) Texan By the Grace of God.

Rick Monday... You Made a Great Play...

I also root for: The Keydets, Army, TexAggies, NY Giants, NY Rangers, ATL Braves, and SA Brahmas

I mean, really?

It's got historic tradition and beauty.

Um, have you seen our campus?

It's got a great party scene.

Sure, if you like Zima and bowties.

It's located in a beautiful part of the country.

Again, have you seen our campus/SWVA?

The campus is gorgeous,

Said this already. Can't count it twice. Just like a Mike London timeout.

the downtown mall is a blast,

GUYS THEY HAVE A MALL!

the vineyards are excellent

The joke writes itself.

and the presidential tradition is everywhere.

Just because everyone claims some tangential association with Thomas Jefferson doesn't make it a great college town. VT was founded by the Morrill Land Grant Act, and I'm pretty damn sure ol' rail-splitter Abe could take TJ in a fight.

It's hard not to get caught up in the rich vibe when visiting Virginia's campus.

Seriously, they spend all their time talking about how rich they are. Must make for a great college town.

Be sure to check out Edgar Allen Poe's Room. Charlottesville got six first-place votes, by far the most of any ACC locale.

Poe was born in Boston, dropped out of UVA after one year (good move!), and died in Baltimore, so the association here is limited.

"Exit light..."

GUYS THEY HAVE A MALL!

It was pretty much a requirement to get Coach London to come. He never wants to be far from a solid fall-back job.

ETA: Had time to come back and add in a little pizzazz.

Somebody give him a segway quick! He won't be around next year to make this joke.

To be fair, the vineyards in the Charlottesville AREA are excellent... but the really good ones don't have a Charlottesville address, which tells you everything you need to know.

The Hokies' first-team offense, which was on the Medal of Honor side, had three offensive touchdowns and Tech had four offensive scores on the day, twice the number it had in the previous two spring games combined.

At least (I think) we're moving in the right direction...

"Exit light..."

My caption contribution:

S. Peoples: "Umm, Wyatt, throw me next, please!"

Coleman looks like the My Buddy doll from the eighties. "My Buddy, My Buddy, Wherever he goes, I go, My Buddy." Meanwhile, Peoples is asking Teller if he can play too.

If Teller can treat all our RBs like My Buddy "wherever I go, he goes," we're gonna have a stable of Doak Walker candidates.

No, I *don't* want to go to the SEC. Why do you ask?

We don't love dem Hoos.

Oopsy! I said that bass ackwards. Your doing it right if Teller goes into My Buddy mode.

Now we just need one of you computer nerd/whizzes to photoshop some giant pancakes in for jc...

I can imagine no more rewarding a career. And any man who may be asked in this century what he did to make his life worthwhile, I think can respond with a good deal of pride and satisfaction:
“I served in the United States Navy"

"Does a 72-inch vertical leap break the spring record?"

-What we do is, if we need that extra push, you know what we do? -Put it up to fully dipped? -Fully dipped. Exactly. It's dork magic.

Blacksburg is a love/hate town. I still don't understand how there is a hate crowd, but.... O well

If you look at the guys that did the voting....
Stacked against us.
Certainly Shenanigans.

Pain is Temporary, Chicks Dig Scars
Glory is Forever, Let's Go Hokies!!

You keep using that word "party"

Considering we're the number two college town in America, I call bullshit.

Let be honest, outside of one or two of those people, its a who's who of self important douchenozzles in the ACC media circuits....
