A Non-Comprehensive History of UVA Football

Virginia Tech Hokies football, basketball, athletics blog and forum featuring: unique columns, breaking news, film studies, in-depth analysis, recruiting, videos and jokes.

The University of Virginia was established in 1819 by Thomas Jefferson. Jefferson wanted to create an institution of higher learning that would cater to, and pamper the colonial douchebag.


Thomas Jefferson is the proud parent of a modern day douche.

Around 1923 Virginia teams became known as the Cavaliers. From m-w.com: cavalier (noun) a gentleman trained in arms and horsemanship.

Virginia joined the ACC in December, 1953. The Cavaliers have never won an outright ACC football championship.

From 1953-55 Ned McDonald coached UVa to a record of 5-23.

In 1975 Virginia went 1-10.

George Welsh is considered Virginia's most successful coach. From 1982-2000 his winningest season was in 1989, a 10-3 campaign that concluded with a loss to Illinois in the Citrus Bowl. That was Welsh's only ten win season.

Al Groh was hired to replaced George Welsh when he retired following the 2000 season. His tenure could be best described as: HURRRRRRRRR DERP.

In 2005 the Hokies annexed Scott Stadium.

Chris Long was the second overall pick in the 2008 NFL draft. He never beat Virginia Tech.

Mike London succeeded Al Groh in 2009. He immediately began work on producing Virginia Football: "The Building of a Program". He enjoys the CBS sitcom Two and a Half Men.
