Our Opponents are Miserable

By: Hokieshibe on November 12, 2013, 1:02 PM | 19 comments

2 of our remaining 3 opponents are listed on the USA Today Misery Index. The Terps and LolUVA - and the UVA section is particularly brutal:

The ACC is full of misery, but nobody has it worse than Virginia. Athletics director Craig Littlepage has been publicly supportive of head coach Mike London (who would be very expensive to buy out), but the results on the field continue to be troublesome. The last two weeks, the Cavaliers have been outs-cored 104-24 by Clemson and North Carolina, respectively. With Miami and Virginia Tech remaining before this season mercifully ends, it's looking highly likely Virginia will go 0-8 in the ACC. The Cavaliers rank 109th in points scored this season and 100th in points allowed. Virginia needs a major shakeup, but will the school have the stomach (and financial wherewithal) to make a change at the top?

That's too easy an article to write. How can a guy pretend to call himself a journalist when the section on UVA could be done in video by any 12 year old NC fan living at home with his Mom?

This is going to be great for the ACC.

why would a 12 year old not be living at home?

He's a NC fan.

I was going to post the video blog of the NC kid but, apparently they've been pulled down.

This is going to be great for the ACC.

He could be living with his Dad. That changes EVERYTHING.

Leonard. Duh.

Yeah, he'd be watching football making him more credible :p

Well, I think it's a little tougher to rank them all. A little surprised the Canes didn't make it, but there are a lot of miserable fans out there.

It was a catch

is this what you do at work?! to busy to lookup funny pictures for my weather report last week?!?!?! :P

On another note, I went down to UNC to visit some friends and went to the game and letme just go ahead and say UVA looked pretty horrible...by pretty i mean very, UNC did what ever they wanted after they scored their first 7 on them and UVA just kind of laid down.

I almost felt bad for them but then I didnt and laughed all the way back to my friends townhouse

UNC > UVA any day of the week, dont worry I wore hokie colors everywhere else...forreal watching them lose twice in one season is gonna be fun! ALSO bring your passport this weekend! gonna have to do a switcheroo with the tickets and you're prolly gonna have to use a student ticket if thats ok?

i gotta hand it to them, their off campus food was pretty delicious, drunk mexican warps = happy tummy ive visited 5 campuses over the years and aside from tech (of course tech is #1...not even close wouldnt trade my school for the world) I think UNC is #2 head and shoulders above UMD WVU and UVA (UVA was a pretty horrible experience)

Can't say I feel for LOLUVA - I'm still wondering how they beat BYU. I'd be happy if they became Duke for the next 15 years.

Touchdown Tech - Bill Roth

Hey now, even a broken clock is right twice a day.

depends on the time...there is a possibility that a broken clock could be right only once around daylight savings

or 3 times...depending on if it's spring or fall

Onward and upward

Well they can't un-win a game(but i wouldn't put it past them) so they have at least two wins. With games against Miami and us, they won't win another game or maybe you're right. Though it's fall so they might beat Miami.

uva has an uncanny ability to beat miami when they really shouldn't....

and if we're talking strictly ACC they're still 0-fer in that department

Onward and upward
