Since next week is going to be serious talk and all, here's one last facetious post. I present in descending order from indifference to flat out hate all twelve of this year's opponents. I used an arbitrary beer fueled formula known only to my mind based on prior social interactions, game results and stereotypical information to rank them. To be fair and balanced, I will mention one complimentary thing about each school.
12. James Madison University
+ Who doesn't enjoy beating up on your best friend's little kiss ass brother?
- Their nickname is the Dukes, reminds me too much of that crappy school in Durham, NC.
11. Central Michigan University
+ What's not to like about a two hour road trip to Bells Brewery, one of the very finest in the nation?
- It's only a matter of time before the stench of DickRod spreads north west.
10. Wake Forest University
+ Groves Stadium is a cute lil mini Lane.
- Part of the Carolina Four Horseman, even if they are the Ole Anderson of the group.
9. Boise State University
+ The Fiesta Bowl versus Oklahoma was amazing and the Statue of Liberty to win it is legendary.
- Their fan base is so full of themselves that it makes Alabama fans blush.
8. East Carolina University
+ No other college town outside of Blacksburg, has sauced me up as much as Greenville.
- The losses in the early 90's still sting and 2008 didn't help.
7. North Carolina State University
+Three B's... Bombshells in cowboy boots, BBQ and Big Boss Brewing.
- Look any Wolfpack fan in the eyes, it won't take long to see the guy waiting for the reason to talk shit.
6. Duke University
+ Kind enough to let Hokies outnumber Blue Devil fans everytime a football game is played at Wallace Wade Stadium.
- The stench of Coach K and the basketball program permeates everywhere in Durham.
5. University of North Carolina
+ Enjoying any night on Franklin Street (everyone needs to experience this once).
- Their collective arrogance is just south of the Hoos.
4. University of Miami
+ The 80's & early 1990's Hurricane teams.
- The 80's & early 1990's Hurricane teams.
3. Boston College
+ Boston is the home of Beer Advocate, the Bible for beer geeks everywhere.
- Choosing the Orange, not the Orange & Maroon when divorcing the Big East on the way to the ACC.
2. Georgia Institute of Technology
+ A 20 minute MARTA ride to the The Brick Store Pub.
-This.
1. University of Virginia
+ Outside of Blacksburg, no better place to see a Hokie win.
- EVERYTHING ELSE!

"...Here's a guy that dreams about running with cheetahs and being pulled over by a police car for speeding."
Epic
haha
they said the game "borders on child abuse."
Christ Almighty did I hate and love the Miami Hurricanes. FSU really was a pale imitation of them. This was the team of my high school and early college years that you could not take your eyes off of.
I loved that Cotton Bowl
but then again I have a lot of relatives who love the Longhorns and won't ever shut up about them.
Cotton Bowl
I spent a lot of my youth living in Arkansas, where I developed a love of college football and a hatred for all things TX. You can kind of throw Oklahoma in the mix b/c Bosworth and company beat the Hogs in the Orange Bowl. The Cotton Bowl used to be King to us deep south folks, sadly it has fallen by the wayside.
Bells Brewery
I have family in Kalamazoo...so toured the brewery (in K'zoo) when they were doing like batch 1,000. Can't forget Founders in nearby Battle Creek either! KBS, CBS, so delicious!

Possible Violation
Joe, please investigate haterade statement #8. I think that refers to The Game That Shall Not Be Named or TGTSNBN for short. I think this is a violation TKP rules (see Bless Me Hokie Bird Thread ) I don't think a punishment has been set but I think either a 1/2 or full turkey leg removal should suffice.
seattle hokie is right
it was forbidden to ever speak of that unholy game. the punishment for bringing up TGTSNBN is that you must present a case of bell's 2 hearted at the next tailgate with sincere apologies to everyone who read and therefore was momentarily depressed by your mentioning of TGTSNBN. i will be on hand sept. 6th to accept said apology. thank you for your cooperation.
Better Punishment
I agree with magduffs punishment and I too will be on hand to accept the penance.
These are serious accusations.
And unfortunately for BCO it's looking like an open and shut case.
put it on
my tab.
fat chance
that loss bothered you guys a lot worse than me.
i have seen far shittier losses.
i can bring you a couple cases of empties.
true
I haven't seen anyone vocalize it yet, but man the Boise St fans are full of themselves. They spend their days analyzing polls/ranking justifications and what happens after they beat us.
Oh, yeah and good call on the 90's beatdowns by the Pirates, still fresh in my memory too for some reason.
↑↑↑↑ Props to the proper mention↑↑↑↑
Thats how you mention that team in NC with a shortage of tutors and nannies an purple uniforms.
men without a country...
...and football players without a real athletic department.
did y'all see this? BFFs Tyrod and Jacory
Come November, and each time ESPN heads open their mouth, I'll still hate them but it's nice to see some ACC comraderie:

When I first read that I thought to myself, "Man, you're killing me Tyrod." Then I remembered I have friends who are alumni of other ACC schools. I'm guessing most of the guys are pretty friendly off the field.
