Virginia Hate Week

I have spent the week opening and closing Microsoft Word, trying to write this.

Sure, I hate Virginia.

They are the annoying frat guy of the ACC. They get way too dressed up for football, especially when you factor in the part where they are a trash program.

They always have a QB1 named something like “Rocco”.

Their biggest rivals are Virginia Tech and North Carolina and they pretty consistently lose to both.

The Barber brothers went there.

And, last but not least, they ruined a part of my soul when they blew Miami out in the last game ever played at the Orange Bowl.

I hope Miami wins this game by 75 points, and yet I know they won’t because we always save our D- game for these guys, and they are coming off of a hugely emotional let down.  So be ready for a total shit fest.

So close.

Speaking of that hugely emotional let down.

Miami should have won that game. They had it. They were literally one big play away.

If Brad Kaaya is not 1/10^th of a second off on a deep ball to Stacey Coley early in the 3^rd Quarter, that could have been the game.

If Standish Dobard, on the biggest drive of the game late in the 3^rd Quarter, doesn’t fumble the ball to FSU…it very likely could have been the game.

If on the final drive Joe Yearby isn’t tripped by his shoelace on a PERFECTLY executed draw, it could have been the winning touchdown.

The list literally goes on and on.

And I don’t really have anything more to say other than that it sucks.

The rest of the season consists of games against your annoying older brother, Virginia, and overweight drunk uncle, Pitt.

I’ll be here, watching, waiting for something awesome to happen.

Letting the hate flow through me.
