I still want LOLUVA to get to 5 wins so we can make the decade of dominance that much sweeter. 38-0 bro was awesome because it kept LOLUVA from winning the Coastal.

I'm reminded of the line from The Godfather "its not personal, its business"
For the rest of the teams they play its business just a win over a poorly coached team. For us its personal- commupance for the smug nose in the air attitude of most everyone you know who went there. The time cop's antics are just added entertainment.

They'll stay committed, probably, because they still have a formerly written offer, and they'll have the chance to change the culture and play for championships.

I love it when they try so hard and still fail miserably. I can't wait until they announce Mike London's firing so he can look puzzled and go back to being a cop.

LOLUVA! Enjoyed watching that kick miss and seeing London's face on the sideline..I bet those 5 star guys rethink their choice of school but they are probably Winnie's anyway.

Good thing London decided to play for a 42 yard FG with his backup kicker rather than keep trying to pick up yards. Why make things easier for the kicker?

Part of me wants London to get fired. He'll lose most of the recruits (regardless of whether or not a few of them end up at VT, it's better than them ending up in hooville). The other part of me wants him to stay there and continue to be the coaching equivalent of a poopy flavored lollipop. I think either way, I'll end up pleased.

I actually wish UVA were better. Makes for a real rivalry game during thanksgiving weekend. Plus makes us look good at the end of the year if they are a good team.

I enjoy being the exclamation point on the end of their disappointing season. Keeping them from winning the ACC Coastal was sweet, but truly finishing their season off is always a highlight for me.

Boo - I want UVA to be a doorstop. I want Maimi to be good and lose to us, because we don't compete with them for recruits, and I don't have to be around their fans ever. I want the Wahoos to suffer endlessly, and I think never winning a game accomplishes that better. I want them beaten down, despondent, and with an empty stadium.

With respect to UVa, yes, I prefer them to remain bottom-feeders in the conference. Eventually they will stop wasting talented recruits that we should otherwise be getting. TimeCop can only sell the "be the start of my dynasty" so long before it will die. If UVa has hope every year, so too does that sales pitch, denying us extra talent that could be used on a national level. I dislike UVa for thinking they're superior every chance they get, and failing.
Miami fans are just jerks, and they cling desperately to the past to seem relevant. Every time they've come into Lane they act like they own it. Every Miami fan I have met has been crude and disrespectful. I'll give it right back, but only if they start it. For that reason, I want to pound Miami into the ground every year. Their decade-old claim to a national title is nice and all, but it hasn't mattered for a long time.

I think UVA will always pull some recruits away, no matter what. If our decade of dominance truly had any impact in some of these kids decisions, then it would be a no brainer for them to just be a Hokie, however it has not. I know that many would say that London has a sales pitch, but so did Al Groh.
In addition, if they pull in talented recruits and end up being a good team by the time we play them and we win, we look all the better to those other recruits out there. In my mind, if I saw a top team get dominated by another team, it would sway me to that other team. Bama beats top teams, that's why kids go there.
One last note, if UVA is on the bottom, and they do by some miracle beat us, that's going to be horrible.

Truthfully, I want to see VT dominate UVA (and ODU in the future) just like LSU dominates all the other programs in LA, and like Tennessee used to dominate Vandy and Memphis, and like tOSU has dominated the programs in Ohio, cuz that is how you win the recruiting war each year. I want VT to be the only team in VA that the top 20 VA recruits would even consider playing for, and then they skip automatically to OOS teams. VT could be a perennial top 15 team if we could recruit in the top 15 by always winning the lion's share of top VA recruits. I always hate seeing VA athletes on the national stage with OOS programs. Not having UVA to win top 20 recruits and then waste their talent would only make those athletes more likely to succeed at Tech. I want UVA to be as IRRELEVANT in recruiting as they are on gameday.

While I cannot deny that LOLUVa gets the highly coveted recruits, the 4 and 5 star players ON PAPER, one of two things is occurring as these kids go through their four years.
A) they are not properly coached/motivated meaning potential is lost
B) they are way overrated at 17-18 years old and our coaches see through that, having a plan and not just filling star spots to look good on paper.
"Losing" the recruiting battle to them year after year does not phase me because come late November our number is greater than theirs on the scoreboard!

I agree Nerf that Beamer and Co. do a better job of evaluating and then developing the VA athletes than UVA has done historically. I am not saying that we frequently "lose" to UVA in recruiting, just that we do not dominate them and it is a back and forth tussle. Historically, VT has recruited VA better than UVA, especially during the Al Groh years. Time Cop has scored a few big, Top-10 VA recruits each year, but his player development has been sorely lacking, IMO. I would just like to see the downward UVA trend continue until VT is the nearly unanimous choice of the top VA athletes who stay in-state. #LOLuvaIrrelevance

Watching their seniors cry on the sidelines after the game is one of the best parts. Its always an emotional game, and the Hokies always walk away showing they're the best in the state. The Hoos are everything the Hokies are not; undisciplined, entitled, and soft.

That may have been my favorite game I got a chance to see in person. They even had ACC championship banners hanging in the stadium that fans brought in. Demolishing them 38-0 was made even sweeter.

Same here. And then after the game my hatred for LOLUVA was renewed when on the way out of the stadium some douchnozzle wearing a bow tie called my girlfriend's aunt old to her face

I'm not sure who started it or when, but I started using it a few months ago, and it is based on his poor time management skills. It was also the title of a Van Damme movie in the early '90s where law enforcement could travel through time. Seemed appropriate.

They could lose out and that would be fine.
This might be my favorite meme ever. Thank you.
I still want LOLUVA to get to 5 wins so we can make the decade of dominance that much sweeter. 38-0 bro was awesome because it kept LOLUVA from winning the Coastal.
3 more wins is asking too much from them. I think Duke trounces them
With all due respect, I never want loluva to win - ever - and regardless of their shitty record when we beat them it's always sweet.
Yes but, if they have 5 wins when they get to us, we'll have the satisfaction of denying them bowl eligibility.
But why would be be selfish and keep 8 other teams from feeling that same pleasure?
The other teams combined wouldn't gather the same satisfaction as we would all by ourselves.
They simply don't have the same quality of hate as we do.
We have a lunch pail quality of hate that no other team could possibly carry as comfortably as we do.
Saw this for the first time yesterday at the game.
It's a perfect example of my thought.

NEVER-EVER-NEVVVVERRRRRRR........................
Can somebody start a petition supporting Mike London not being fired?
I don't know, I'm interested to see what those recruits do if he does get the ax.
They'll stay committed, probably, because they still have a formerly written offer, and they'll have the chance to change the culture and play for championships.
A formerly written offer from a formerly good cop is a tough thing to pass up...
Chance to play for MORE championships... smh
It's too bad that a giant dark vortex didn't open up and suck them in and they both lose at the same time while playing each other.
UVA losing... What else is new?
what else is expected from #LOLUVA?
I love it when they try so hard and still fail miserably. I can't wait until they announce Mike London's firing so he can look puzzled and go back to being a cop.
What are you talking about? They are working out another contract extension for London because he almost won another game...
LOLUVA! Enjoyed watching that kick miss and seeing London's face on the sideline..I bet those 5 star guys rethink their choice of school but they are probably Winnie's anyway.
Anyone got a gif of his face...??
Sorry. Meant to upvote.
got you covered
Good thing London decided to play for a 42 yard FG with his backup kicker rather than keep trying to pick up yards. Why make things easier for the kicker?
He had already reached his limit of good decisions when he used his timeouts to save some clock.
He had to use those timeouts while LOLUVA was on defense; he didn't want to ice his own kicker.
SaveTimeCop.com?
Part of me wants London to get fired. He'll lose most of the recruits (regardless of whether or not a few of them end up at VT, it's better than them ending up in hooville). The other part of me wants him to stay there and continue to be the coaching equivalent of a poopy flavored lollipop. I think either way, I'll end up pleased.
turkey leg for "poopy flavored lollipop". Love dodgeball
I'm all for London staying. Makes #LOLUVA games more entertaining.
I've made most of my turkey legs off of Mike London memes...whatever will I do if he's gone???
Lane Kiffin memes
Now that's just money in the bank. I can work with that.
Charlie Weis memes.
I'd rather they bring back Al Groh
I hear Lane Kiffin is looking for a job.
If UVA loses out, I'm totally gonna
Their remaining schedule:
Duke
GT
Clemson
@UNC
@Miami
VT
The only game where they may be favored is against Duke.
I disagree there, I think Duke will be favored in that game.
Yeah I knew Duke had UVA's number recently, what I didn't know is that they've beaten them 4 out of the past 5 times.
Time Cop gets paid a helluva lot of money for doing such a crappy job...
If he was working at BK, he'd be making $60,000/year for only getting 40% of the burger orders right.
And all is right in the world
I actually wish UVA were better. Makes for a real rivalry game during thanksgiving weekend. Plus makes us look good at the end of the year if they are a good team.
I know exactly what you mean...
But my hatred is so strong for UVA... I take pleasure in them doing horribly all year.
I enjoy being the exclamation point on the end of their disappointing season. Keeping them from winning the ACC Coastal was sweet, but truly finishing their season off is always a highlight for me.
But for both of those points, wouldn't it taste better if they thought they had a chance at a winning season, only to be beat by VT at the end?
I'd much rather have a ranked UVA each year, then some bottom feeder team. At this point, my hatred for the U is much stronger.
Boo - I want UVA to be a doorstop. I want Maimi to be good and lose to us, because we don't compete with them for recruits, and I don't have to be around their fans ever. I want the Wahoos to suffer endlessly, and I think never winning a game accomplishes that better. I want them beaten down, despondent, and with an empty stadium.
I dislike UVa and Miami for different reasons.
With respect to UVa, yes, I prefer them to remain bottom-feeders in the conference. Eventually they will stop wasting talented recruits that we should otherwise be getting. TimeCop can only sell the "be the start of my dynasty" so long before it will die.

saw this on Youtube and decided to share
Absolutely f-kn lost it at the "manliness happens" part. F-king perfect!
The Colin Cowherd rants are a must watch too

Some UVA fans are glad they are "competitive and entertaining"
Well yeah, their paper airplanes stay aloft a looong time.
I don't always go to the Sabre, but when I do, I make sure to bring popcorn. Anyone else think they're gluttons for punishment, for even having Football section?
Some papers/sites have comics and classifieds...similar idea.
Stupid question: Where did the Time Cop thing come from? Is it from his inept use of time outs? I personally prefer Rent-a-Cop
I'm not sure who started it or when, but I started using it a few months ago, and it is based on his poor time management skills. It was also the title of a Van Damme movie in the early '90s where law enforcement could travel through time. Seemed appropriate.
TimeCop. I know, I know, self-promotion is the mating call of the mute button.
I'll take the UVA coaching job. Its more money than I get now and far less pressure to do my job right.
I would even do the job at half the price.
