STL: Are you thinking about a win over Tech this point?
MB: It has to be because that's the last game. I think we'll be 5-6 going into it like we were last year but everything will be in the right place this time. Because Virginia Tech doesn't have the luck of the Irish.
WE JUST HAVE A DECADE AND A TENTH OF DOMINANCE SO WHO NEEDS IRISH LUCK

It's a perfectly crisp Monday morning at Mr. Jefferson's University.
I almost stop in my tracks when he tells me he comes from a Virginia Tech family. He switched loyalties his first day on Grounds (Aug. 28, 2012, he points out)
I couldn't read past the fourth paragraph.

sad UVA fan takes grabbing the ankles to a new level. I thought UVA got past the whole campus rape thing. Considering he is looking forward to the tech game, the old saying is true ' you can't rape the willing'.
Don't worry sad UVA fan, you will be bent over again come November

Wasn't the UVA campus rape story from Rolling Stone fake? I haven't really looked into it but was just wondering considering that is why I used it to that extent. I was talking about a rape that didn't happen. I was also joking about a non-literal raping, which is common in football talk or competitions in general when one opponent is defeated soundly. UVA has beaten VT only one time since I first attended VT in 1999. The old saying is ridiculous in its own right and should be taken as such. Not to mention the kid is bent over the wall. I mean what kind of person bends over the wall in disappointment, or even rests on it with their head down like they are crying. I mean seriously its just a game and this was a just a joke get a hold of yourselves.
How many times does the topic of the band playing "Stick it In" come up? What does that represent? Scoring on your opponent when they don't want you to score using sexual thrusts. Which is called, wait for it.............................. RAPE.
This is a prime example of PC run amok. If you can't comprehend what I said that is your fault not mine. See my avatar, its a JOKE. I am from Atlantic City. I was known as AC on my VT crew team that was nationally ranked. So, I thought it would be a good idea to use the same alias. Instantly, people on the board started to talk about A.C. Slater, so I adjusted it to fit it as a JOKE.
If I use words that are not meant in a literal or threatening way, which are also obviously a joke they should be treated as such. Stop giving power to words. I really could give two shits if you are offended by my words because they were used in jest, meaning they have no value. If your offended by something of no value, I feel sorry for you. Rape is used in jest a lot, and a lot times it is funny, just like 'Stick it IN'.
I figure I might get banned or down voted off the board for holding my line but so be it. So here are my parting words.
This is the best board I have ever been on, seriously. I hated those HokieHaven boards back in the early 2000's. Mark this down, VT is still the dark horse for the playoffs. A subjective board looks at the results and the only loss will be due to the loss of the starting QB, that will be back. Offensive lines and defenses win championships, we have them both. Also, one request for Joe, can you please update the donation total. I thought it was in real time and I donated just at the last minute before I planned to leave for Blacksburg for the OSU game. In craps(in case you don't know) 7-11 are winning numbers on the initial roll. So, I donated to even out the number to 11,000. Initial game, winning, 11, and craps is a team game. It sounded perfect to the slightly superstitious me. I didn't/don't want credit just wanted to give something back for the value I get out of this site.
So, If i'm still allowed back I will not post anymore jokes. All serious all the time from now on. I really did like the non-serious side of the board.

1. Do not assume I was personally offended. I am upholding the standard of conduct in the community. Your post was also downvoted by lots of other people, not just me.
2. You're not getting banned and you're not (from my perspective) in danger of getting the hammer. This is about one comment getting backlash from people here because, as I say in point (1), we expect a certain decorum.
3. Yes, the UVA report was largely unfounded. It is also a very personal issue for people in the TKP community. We have people here that have experienced sexual violence and those who have been counselors, members of law enforcement, etc. that have dealt with the other side of it. So before we get onto an unproductive meta-tangent here, just be aware that this is a very sensitive thing.

It's just best to stay away from any jokes about rape. There's an unseen negative feeling that those who have been through it get when they read jokes about it.
I got a similar (although nowhere near as terrible) feeling reading the fat jokes about this week's opposing coach, having been overweight and dealt with bullying over it when I was younger. Fat jokes are a whole different issue though, so I just shrugged it off and carried on. You can't necessarily do that with rape.
Part of what makes this community great is that for topics like rape, we just don't go there.

STL: Have you met Goose Guy or any of these other viral stars of UVa sports?
MB: I've only known of Goose Guy from the ESPN clip. Funny story is that he was, I believe, an electrical engineer fourth-year at the time. Which is funny, because I'm in basically the same department and also a fourth-year. So it's like there's a common thread between us. But I haven't actually met any of them in person.
Basically the same department, or the SAME department??? As an electrical engineer, basically the same is NOT equal to the same. Man, I hope he find the front door to deliver those pizzas after his fourth year is over on the Grounds.

As someone with 2 sisters who went to UVA (majoring in Business and Pre-med), I can almost feel sorry for someone who goes to UVA and cheers on the football team. Then I hear about this guy who went to UVA for engineering, has a VT family, and doesn't care about winning (just that Mike London is a good guy), and all sympathy goes out the window. He deserves all the heartache UVA football can dish out to him.
A good football coach is a good person AND wins. If you lack one or the other, you fail!

maybe he couldn't get into VT's Electrical Engineering department? i understand it's quite strong, and this guy...well let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get in

I had to force myself to read that intolerable piece of tripe with all its grammar errors. The worst part was the scribe has the stupidity to assert that: "A somewhat abridged version of our interview is below. Questions and answers have been edited for grammar and style." Talk about a much too full of himself stuffed shirt that assumes his locale by itself qualifies him as a sophisticated journalist....
Examples you ask? Try this gem: "The only person that recognized me was my mother. Her and my dad were watching the game at home and she ended up talking to me later and was like "I'd recognize the back of that head anywhere." Seriously? Even junior high school students understand that her is an objective pronoun and "she" is a subjective pronoun.
One time miss on his part? Uhhh.... no. Another even more obvious: "Oh my God, we're going to win, they're going to have this valiant effort to come back and it's going to be in vain." Dude.... That is TWO sentences... He could not even transcribe the verbal interview in a cogent manner.
If he offered himself as a simple fan who had an opportunity to track down Sad Student and get his take on the events, that would be one thing. This guy starts out with his "Setting the Scene" paragraph. Yeah, nice totally insufferable use of the redundant adverb, silently, with serene. No, articles like this just reinforce an urge I get every time I see a uVa logo to go and punch them in the neck...

Freshman English was a joke for me. The classes used the exact same course material that I had from the Junior year of high school. reading crap like that offered on STL makes me appreciate the quality of writing presented here.

"** - Ed. Note: Yes, Mike was actually ready to jump a good seven feet onto the field on one good foot, planning on landing on the one that wasn't broken."
So, he's a moron?
"was like "I'd recognize the back of that head anywhere." "
Phrasing? Something a future cell mate might say?

This is also why nobody in the industry ever hires uVa engineers to do real Engineering work. They are not up to the task of generating sound Engineering judgments....

Non-judicial punishment in the Navy. The CO is the judge and jury. You get "awarded" thinks like restriction to the ship for 30 days, extra duties, reduction in rank, loss of half-month's pay for two months, etc.
Kind of like "field day" really means "clean for four hours...".

WE JUST HAVE A DECADE AND A TENTH OF DOMINANCE SO WHO NEEDS IRISH LUCK
beat me to it...
Who needs luck when you got the (Commonwealth) Cup... just sayin
Everything about this guy seems annoying.
some pics i pulled from r/CFB that redditors had fun with featuring Sad UVA Fan:
saved the best for last:
The last one gives me mixed feelings knowing where CFB pic came from...
you forgot one:
Too soon.
I'm just glad Frank Beamer wasn't placed behind sad UVA fan...
From a Tech family and went to UVA for engineering?
That's all I need to know about this guy.
Being the kid of alumni can only get you so far.
To be fair, he doesn't appear to be able to get accepted into Tech's engineering or CS dept's.
I couldn't read past the fourth paragraph.
This is exactly where I stopped reading as well. Garbage.
Don't you mean the Senior paragraph?
This is what happens when you abandon the VT family
You grow up to become a most obnoxious and insufferable doucheass?
You have a life full of.... well... disappointment strong enough to drape you over a wall
So you DON'T grow up. You just go straight to becoming the most insufferably, obnoxious, doucheass. Got it.
sad UVA fan takes grabbing the ankles to a new level. I thought UVA got past the whole campus rape thing. Considering he is looking forward to the tech game, the old saying is true ' you can't rape the willing'.

Not cool.
Official Moderator condemnation. Rape is never funny. There plenty of ways to mock UVA; this is absolutely not one of them.

interesting that you brought up the 'fat jokes' issue. I'm not overweight myself but I did wince when I saw those jokes...
He's a SENIOR!!!! THIS IS WHY WE HATE YOU UVA
To be fair, they have to have some way to denote the new seniors from the ones on their fourth graduation attempt.
Basically the same department, or the SAME department??? As an electrical engineer, basically the same is NOT equal to the same. Man, I hope he find the front door to deliver those pizzas after his fourth year is over on the Grounds.
Also, basically is the worst word in the English language. It basically means nothing and adds basically nothing to your basic sentence.
I'm so glad I'm not the only one who saw that.
Its so basic
pH is way over 7
so basically bitch... teheee
.
Put simply...
As someone with 2 sisters who went to UVA (majoring in Business and Pre-med), I can almost feel sorry for someone who goes to UVA and cheers on the football team. Then I hear about this guy who went to UVA for engineering, has a VT family, and doesn't care about winning (just that Mike London is a good guy), and all sympathy goes out the window. He deserves all the heartache UVA football can dish out to him.
A good football coach is a good person AND wins. If you lack one or the other, you fail!
I just want to know where was he during the spring game??!!! He should be MADE to attend every year.
He was there, man, he was there. He was that one fan we keep making jokes about. I'd know the back of that head anywhere!
maybe he couldn't get into VT's Electrical Engineering department? i understand it's quite strong, and this guy...well let's just say I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't get in
It's difficult to feel sorry for him knowing that his fate was self-inflicted over some fairly easy and obvious life choices.
See? The guy is a lot more than that picture shows. He's enough of an optimist to think LOLUVa will win a game this season...
Someone needs to make a cardboard standee of "Sad UVA Fan" to hang over the side during the UVA game.
could we hang one for each TD pass? Like K's for strike outs.
Also, welcome and can you post a larger version of your avatar? As an engineer, I hate it when I can't tell what a graph is about...
Here's a link to his avatar graph.
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CO6Cb-OUAAAAReZ.jpg
And I like your thinking, but maybe we could drape them for sacks and interceptions!!!!!
I'm partial to one for every win in our current streak against them
TD's or for every sack?
Huh... and here I was thinking there weren't any sacks on the UVa squad
Another pie chart to illustrate the point:
Interestingly enough, this is the most compelling story loluva's football team has generated so far this year. Speaks loudly for them, eh?
LOLUVA, the gift that keeps on giving.
Somebody que up Cowherd on UVA for this guy.....unreal.
You can't make this stuff up.
This guy must be jealous. He should have saded harder.

You sir, are off the charts...
I take it that you, also, did not have to study during Freshman English at Tech.
(seriously, though... that class was pretty easy)
Freshman English was a joke for me. The classes used the exact same course material that I had from the Junior year of high school. reading crap like that offered on STL makes me appreciate the quality of writing presented here.
Their, their my friend. I here you about the bad grammer.

Maybe it will catch on and be the way they celebrate every loss.
Their celebrations are like the "awards" you get at captain's mast.
I'm not entirely sure what that is, but I will take you at your word.

Going to loluva and actually watching them play football...
Well, some guy in cargo shorts and a bow tie stole the book he was planning on reading so he didn't really have a choice.
