LOLUVa Hate Week

I know it's been a hard year for hokies everywhere. Worst season since...1992? Losing 5 games we were favored to win. Suffering through the suspense of a lame duck coach (we think?) while our favorite son gets the big whistle at USCjr.

But no matter how you feel about our team's talent level, no matter how much you want Fuente to fail to secure his firing, no matter how that lacrosse school up the road's football team has done this year, every true hokie wants to end the regular season with a win over LOLUVa. Some of us are old enough to remember life before the streak. Others have only ever known domination over the wahoos save for last year's stumble. All of us, however, have experienced the ungodly condescension that just oozes from those assholes in charlottesville. This thread is for us to share stories to rile up the hate that may have been dulled by a postponed game against them in September and the crapfest that has been our season.

Even if we both suck, they still deserve to lose. Always.

I'll start:
I grew up just outside of Charlottesville. As a kid, I had Virginia basketball and football posters on my wall. Went to games when I could get free tickets (not in my parents budget to spring for tickets). Hell, I even bought a blue blazer, oxford blue shirt, and blue and orange striped tie when I was in high school to wear to soccer games. I had two older siblings go to Tech so we rooted for the hokies on Thanksgiving, but otherwise, it was wahoowa.

Then came time to apply to colleges. I knew I wanted to do mechanical engineering so I only applied to schools on the US News top 20 ME schools list. LOLUVa wasn't on this list. Tech was. So Tech was my in state option. Holy shit did I not know what I was getting into. My best friend's parents (both cavalier alums) tore into me for sending an application to tech and not LOLUVa. Said they thought I was smarter than to even waste time applying to a cow college like that.

Another one of my friends tried to convince me that LOLUVa produces better engineers because it's a better school all around. This guy ended up there for electrical engineering...for two semesters, then he washed out, got a management degree, and is doing his best Lumbergh impression rocking middle management who the hell knows where. In total, 45 of the 120 kids I graduated with went to LOLUVa, many of whom I was friends with in high school. Only one saw fit to keep in touch after one semester in that cesspool. **Shrug Emoji**

I hope you can all join me in this cathartic exercise. Here's to starting streak 2.0 this Saturday.

And please, keep your negative vibes (about Tech) on other threads. This thread needs to be pure hatred.
