LOLUVA Finally Gets It

After perusing through articles from Gobbler Country (SB Nation's Virginia Tech blog), I decided to see what type of articles our commonwealth counterparts were writing about their football team (which surprisingly still exists). After scanning through their blog SB Nation blog, of which half of it dealt with baseball and field hockey, I found a fascinating article that really grabbed my attention. The article talked about whether UVA fans would turn out for the ACC opening game against Louisville. Only 44,000 fans showed up for their premier season opener against highly ranked UCLA. Yes folks, that's almost 2/3 of their stadium capacity. Although it's not terribly shocking, it still surprised me that LOLUVA fans didn't even want to watch a game against a top 10 opponent regardless of how poorly their team plays. To make the article even more interesting, the Virginia Athletics Foundation director tweeted about his excitement over UVA's record season tickets sales in men's basketball 3 weeks into the football season. If you want a short read that sums up UVA's "football" program (I know it's certainly not news to any Hokie fan) and their outlook, I definitely recommend this read.
