Well as we lament the how little there is to talk about this close to the season I thought some of you might enjoy ESPN's ranking of the happiest and most miserable teams in college football...
http://www.espn.com/espn/feature/story/_/id/20369846/ranking-happiness-e...
#15 Virginia Tech -- Elated -- After a 10-win debut season from Justin Fuente, the head coach is firmly entrenched at Virginia Tech and the fans are optimistic about the future.
#110 Virginia -- Distraught -- Underperforming against rivals Virginia Tech and UNC can take a toll on your fans.

How did we manage to not score in the 90s in rivalry dominance? Guess they're counting teams other than UVA.
Fun fact, I removed ECU from the list of rivals on the VT football wikipedia entry over a year ago.
Impossible to leg this enough.
Enshrine this man
The fact that you had to remove it in the first place makes me sad. It's like I'm happy you removed that graffiti, but I'm still mad someone spray painted it there.
I didn't expect this of all posts to be my most-legged ever. I just remember seeing it there and thinking "One of these things is not like the other". I'm still surprised no one tried to put it back.
Fuck, this is the best college football related gif out there. Bar none.
So according to the explanation of their metric Rivalry Dominance is...
So basically they think that UVA is so bad that even our absolute domination in the rivalry is essentially to be expected.
Ouch, that revenue growth score!!!
wait for it....
I thought we weren't supposed to join anymore because Liberty.
No you're supposed to join now and then un-join the years we play at Liberty.
You forgot as long as Ian MaCraw is AD.
But then it's okay to quit
Yeah, the Drive for 25 progress page doesn't make me feel any better about it either.
Either there's something wrong with it, or 2000 HC members decided not to renew for one reason or another.
Don't know what numbers you're looking at, but this is the "celebrate how happy we are" thread.
Anytime App State is in the top 10 anything related to football (except for biggest upsets) I refuse to count your analysis to be credible. I understand what this article is trying to say, but you can't tell me that most (thinking of 1 of our own here on TKP) would rather play in the ACC and compete for ACC championships and National Championships then to beat whoever their rival is for a couple years in a row.
It's a fake survey with arbitrary criteria.
But any survey that has VT in the top 15 regarding happiness I'll accept.
Virginia being #110 is also a bonus.
Virginia at #110 is validation of the process.
They could have plugged that in with no data.
HF should be happy, Arizona coming in at 116. RichRod working his magic...
His coaching stability is looking low. Better check the airplane tracker for flights coming to Blacksburg!
Fixed that for them!
I'm surprised they found enough LOLUVA fans to include them in the survey.
No doubt loneliness factored into their rating.
uva hand job.
Great- just something else for The U to say "We Bak!"
ph....u....ck them and the we be bak turtle sh"t!
