I think there are 3 teams from the CAA are better than several ACC teams. The CAA is no joke. When you have 5 of your teams in the top 10 and 7 in the top 25 from a 12 team league that is called dominance. And the difference in play from I-A to I-AA isn't as great as most people think.

I really don't follow college ball but I have just had to listen to so many UVA people talk about how great their school is its fun to rub it in some. I know its a great college and I'm all for school pride but its the way they talk down other schools in a snobby way that erks me.

Since when has anyone done that on this site about UVA? I never have said that I am better than anyone else, or implied it because I went to UVA. Just as you feel people shouldn't be snobby don't you think that maybe you shouldn't just post "HAHAHA UVA LOST" on this thread?

It is very hypocritical to ask a group of people to behave classy and maturely when you yourself do not heed that advice. If anything it makes you look worst. The whole "stooping down to the level" of those that "irk" you.

I am not trying to be a smartass but you posts kinda "irk" me too (for the reasons stated above).

MY post read "UVA loss to W&M BLA HA HA HA HA." which is a laugh. I never said anyone here did that I spoke from my personal experience with people from that school. I also never said they were snooby people just that they tend to talk down other schools in a snobby way and thats why I think its funny when their school loose a game to another va school. Sure not everyone does this but I heard it done enough to feel this way. I live in Va so I'm around alot of people who attend Va colleges and only get this feeling when talking to most not all UVA students. With that said I still think its a great university and proud to have a school of that calliper in Va.

I'm actually a fan of both UVA and Va Tech. I grew up rooting for UVA but my family is from Blacksburg and my dad lives there now. Living in Richmond, of course, there are more Tech fans than UVA fans w/ their recent success. I can honestly say that Tech fans are more crappy to UVA fans than vice versa. But hey, maybe you know some snobby UVA fans.

hooskins is really honestly one of the few uva fans ive met who has been down to earth and not snobby. pretty much everyone who goes to uva that was my friend, even my best friend who went to uva, is very snobby. if they lose to us, they say they dont care about football because academics is what really matters and just call us rednecks (i went to tech). certainly not everyone does this but ive been to uva many times, mainly to the fraternities, and this is the kind of banter that goes on. to be completely honest tech has every right to talk down to uva in terms of football. we have beat them down for years now. but like i said, its not everyone at uva, certainly not hooskins, but ive experienced my fair share of snobby people there.
