I hate Virginia. Why, you might ask? For a few of the following reasons:
1.) The Orange Bowl. Enough said.
2.)They beat Hopkins in lacrosse sometimes.
3.) Their uniforms could be so much cooler than they actually are.
4.) Their "Cavalier" mascot is the worst and I spend half of every game I see him at dreaming up ways in which he might get knocked off hsi horse.
5.) They suck at football and basketball but win titles in non-revenue generating sports and then talk about how awesome their athletics program is.
6.) I really hate their mascot.
7.) Everyone that goes there is a douche.
8.) Those people think they attend an Ivy league school. This is kind of like UNC or UCLA or 
Madison or any other snobby, huge state school. If you're from the state, you really don't have to be all that great to get in. Not a dummy, but probably not winning awards as a student either. I know people that went to Madison (I went to high school in Wisconsin) that were very smart and could have gotten in a lot of other places (that's for you Doug). I know a lot of dumbasses that went there that wouldn't have gotten in to any good schools out of state but got in to Madison because they had decent numbers and were residents (Doug, I think we both know who I am talking about). And since 90% of these state schools are comprised of in-staters...you can put two and two together. Listen, they're good schools. I went to Miami. Another good school, but not elite. I would never compare Miami to Stanford or Harvard. I am very content that my education was great without that comparison. Why can't these people just be the same way?

Navy and orange reminds me of Gators colors.
10.) The Orange Bowl. Guess it wasn't enough before.
Anyway, nothing made me happier than the 'Canes running it up on the Wahoos (a stupid nickname) last season. Here's to hoping they do it again. And here's to a blazing fast breakdown:
QB
Well, let's see. Would you rather have Jacory or...wait....looking it up...really?!...I thought they benched this guy two years ago...Marc Verica, PhD? I thought so. EDGE: Miami
RB
Damien Berry looks to extend his streak of 100 yard days to 5. Virginia is averageing about 5 ypc, but this ain't Eastern Michigan or William & Mary. Oh, and here's a fun fact: Virginia's run defense is 79th in the nation.EDGE: Miami
Receivers
Hankerson, Byrd and Benjamin all bounced back with touchdown catches last week for the first time in 2.5 seasons of playing together. Virginia's Kevin Burd is one to watch, as he has made some plays for the 'Hoos. The emergence of Asante Cleveland as a pass catching tight end for the 'Canes can not be discounted. EDGE: Miami
Offensive Line
Have you seen Allen Bailey lately? EDGE: Miami
Defensive Line
Seriously, have you? EDGE: Miami
Linebackers
UVa is giving up a ton of yards as it struggles to go from a 3-4 to a 4-3 scheme. EDGE: Miami
Secondary
Miami's guys, particularly Telemaque, are ballhawking and are 2nd in the nation in interceptions with 14. EDGE: Miami
Special Teams
Miami housed one against UVa last year. Hear that, TB3? Coverage still has to improve, although it was much better last week. EDGE: Miami
Miami should win this one by three scores minimum.
OTHER PICKS
Last Week: 3-3
Season: 34-21 (2-5 in upset specials...2 in a row!)
Clemson over BC
South Carolina (the REAL SC) over Tennessee
Tulsa over Notre Dame
Iowa over Michigan State
Mizzou over Nebraska
UiF over UGA (Cocktail Party!)
Texas over Baylor
Utah over Air Force
USC over Oregon (Upset, but not my upset special)
UPSET SPECIAL
Ole Miss over Auburn
Never underestimate Nutt. Divisional game, at home, an offense quitely averaging 30 points and a the feisty Landshark defense....
Always guard the inbound passer.
