whoo, hoo!.
LeBOOM Cavaliers! The Cup and The Clash!
what's the series record in the Clash?
3-3 once this year is tallied. I can't find results for 2020-2021 and I know 2019-2020 was called off due to pandemic.
2014-2015: LOLUVA 14.5, VT 7.5
2015-2016: LOLUVA 14, VT 7
2016-2017: LOLUVA 11, VT 11 (VT had more ACC championship teams)
2017-2018: LOLUVA 8.5, VT 12.5
2018-2019: LOLUVA 12.5, VT 9.5
2021-2022: LOLUVA 7.5, VT 11.5 (2 pts remaining)
2014 was when Babcock took over, so once he got his people in place, roughly 2 years, plus increased attention to recruiting and player development, we've gone 3-1.
You still have to remember the Clash was only implemented because UVA complained they were never getting the Commonwealth Cup back. They had to add basketball and all the other Olympic sports to have a chance of a winning record against us.
You know what's fun. While we're now routinely beating them up in the non-football sports, we're still annually kicking their ass in football, too.
Its a good thing for them that we don't have a varsity men's lacrosse team, huh?
Now that this is complete can some one please update Wikipedia
Also if you have time please update the intensity and pranks section as it is woefully lacking of good content like when we painted a "T" on the field, or when Google maps called Scott stadium by its rightful name. The hokie architect that put a T building on a V shapped lot to look like the old VT was good too. The best prank might have been the fumble in 2018 where we came back and won, soul crushing.
