I just, I can't, wow. Parents like this should be sterilized and have their kids taken away.
It's definitely different for the generation of kids that go to WVU now. I have a friend that went to WVU a couple years ago and he didn't even know he was supposed to hate us.
Unfortunately their older alumni and especially non alumni remember. Won't take long for the current generation to be indoctrinated once it starts back up.
And there's only one school to try when you have a 2.3 high school GPA and just want to get out of your parents house and party
This, so this. My cousin ended up at WVU, "because of their journalism department." Smoked so much weed in HS I'm not sure he could spell journalism by the time he graduated. 6 years later, he has a degree from a 4 year institution.
I wonder how many trailers full of old couches will be set on fire after the game in the parking lot? Their shitty fanbase aside it will be nice to be playing a decent DIV-I team again, now we just need to get ECU, ODU and div II schools off the books. C'mon Whit, you can do it!

# | Virginia Tech Stressing Comfort for Fans, Athletes in Slew of Planned Facilities Upgrades Do you have a study that's says revenue will outweigh the cost? Not even Minnesota one of only three P5 teams to sell alcohol allows people to drink at their seats. They have drinking areas in the concourse. It's highly regulated, in fact the board there didn't want general alcohol sales but were forced to by the state legislator.
Absolutely zero sarcasm. They have such a trashy fan base it makes the game much less enjoyable in person. Ohio State's worst fans would be the shining jewels of their base. If I didn't know about 50 people in DC I wouldn't even consider making the trip from Cincy for this game.
Be prepared for a lot of fights and issues. A LOT of alumni from both schools in the DMV. This game will be a sellout, there will be a lot of tailgating, and a lot of alcohol. I foresee a lot of problems
FWIW (and literally it's worth nothing) but a few years back I ran into this girl at a bar in NYC she was a WVU grad. She was few years younger and she was my brother's friend.and he told me to mention to this girl that I went to Tech. So I do and she replies she went to WVU and I of course roll my eyes and groan. She asks why I did that. I look at her a bit befuddled. I say "because I went to Tech. You know the rivalry? The Black Diamond Trophy... "
She goes "oh yeah, when ever I run into you people you all do that. I don't get it. Quite honestly I didn't even know you guys existed much less that we had a rivalry. We don't care about you guys."
Well my blood started boiling. I reminded myself that I was at the time dating a respectable Hokie and that I was so glad not to have to worry about dealing with morons.
I wish I had a cooler ending to that story.
Either way, I know that is by no means representative of the WVU fan base as a whole but I wonder if feelings have changed at all since the "cool off period". I still just think it's because she's was a moron.
What gets me is that it hasn't improved. You still hear that Big 12 fans hate going there because of their fans and instead of trying to curtail it, WVU has actually kind of embraced the reputation.
It might go well in Landover but it's only a matter of time before the scene gets ugly again, especially if we have to make the trip to Morgantown.
Good point.
I don't mind VT playing them, but if their fans can't handle competition and it's at the point where it's dangerous for other fans, then I'm OK with letting it go.
Those other rivalries are respectful hate. Yes, they hate each other, but for the most part at the end of the day the worst it will be is shit talking back and forth.
WVU fans are violent. Period. Do not wear VT gear around their campus or around them on game day or you will get shit thrown at you. The last time we played in Morgantown our team and Hokie Club buses were egged and stoned. There are stories of metal trash cans and plastic bags filled with batteries being thrown at the VT section in their stadium from above. Remember when Marcus flicked of their student body in 2005? Yeah that's because he dealt with them calling him a n***** all day long from the moment he stepped onto the field.
You don't see that shit with those other rivalries. That is why we ended it, that is why it should stay buried and it's why I'm struggling hard to get excited to see it back.

# | Virginia Tech Stressing Comfort for Fans, Athletes in Slew of Planned Facilities Upgrades I was wondering if anyone else would notice that.
I wonder if they will sell beer at the game or if the fans can handle it.
Sure looks like a Hoo.

# | Virginia Tech Stressing Comfort for Fans, Athletes in Slew of Planned Facilities Upgrades The revenues exceed the costs. His statement did not claim that it was not cost effective or profitable, he said the other fans can't handle it, basically.
I agree.
If they're good, I don't mind playing WVU for the Black Diamond Trophy, particularly on neutral ground in a high profile setting. At some point, I'd like to see VT establish a winning tradition at FedEx.
As a non VT grad but a VT fan can someone please tell me why WVU/VT is not like any other rivalry?
Michigan and OSU are bitter rivals that play every year
Rivalry exhibit 1 - OSU National Championship Trophy
TUN - Team Up North (Michigan)
Tennessee and Alabama
I know there are more but can someone please tell me why WVU is not like any other rivalry?
Ugh I would rather him go to the Criminoles than UNCheat
Gotta hand it to the 'Hoos for being great hagglers. They won't go to a game until they get 3 more tickets AND get hot dogs and drinks included.
They were just mad because they couldn't spell "VT".
Began hating us After the series was dropped? Tell that to the guys who threatened me in the bathroom at WVU in 1999. I had the audacity to come to their stadium in VT gear.
I'll take games like the USCw, game. VT plays the eventual NC to the wire and if two blown calls had gone the right way probably would have won.
No school plays no G5 opponents in a year. Doesn't happen and will never happen as long as TV broadcasts those games and they count towards bowl eligibility.
