Festivus 2011

Virginia Tech Hokies football, basketball, athletics blog and forum featuring: unique columns, breaking news, film studies, in-depth analysis, recruiting, videos and jokes.

I decided to watch UVa's Festivus this afternoon. Why? It was on ESPN3 and sometimes you just do things because they're convenient and easy. It looked like you might expect.

What I learned from watching the Blue-Orange Game:

  1. Scott Stadium's grass field that earlier in the day took abuse from rain, sleet and a lacrosse game looked less sloppy than the football team. A missed field goal, interceptions, fumbles, missed blocks, missed tackles essentially dwarfed most positives.
  2. UVa is one quarterback away from competing against Duke.
  3. Watford is green, but you know, #newhoos.
  4. If UVa is going to televise Festivus next year, do away with the kickoffs and punts. The crowd shots were embarrassing.

Final Score: Blue 17 - Orange 7 - Humanity 0

Excuse

Was talking to one of my boys who goes to UVA and he said "No one was there because it started to hail" Looks pretty sunny to me there...excuses just another year for the fan base to "rebuild" again

at the ACC Championship

at different times it rained, snowed, hailed, and sleeted while we were tailgating. Yet the Hokies were all over.

To their credit the fans stayed the entire game.

Women's soccer > UVA football

Women's soccer is exponentially more exciting than the UVA blue-orange game... or really just UVA football altogether. Based on their spring game attendance, my advanced logic and reasoning skillz lead me to the conclusion that UVA fans would agree.

Also I'd like to point out that UVA doesn't need tailgate practice because they go hard with the Zima and white zin during lacrosse season too, brah.

NO TWEEDY, IT'S WHIP!!!!!!!
