It was definitely just a conference rivalry like any other. Nothing bigger. VT already had UVA as their primary.
 
But I think what made it so special is that it came at a time when VT rose as a program. And we were still somewhat new to success as well. But we always went toe to toe with them (not each individual year) while they dominated the others in the league. Couldn't win in our Dome except that one time, and we evened it out the next year. For me personally, it was obviously more because I live and work amongst these Hokies.
 
The new games are going to be great regardless. If we can step up our level of play, beat these teams in the Dome, the same type things can and should form. I can see it working out with every team in our division other than probably Wake. Maybe it will breathe more life into the SU-Pitt games as well.
 
Something unrelated that's in this thread, I see a lot of people hoping for some annual opponents OOC. I hope we keep our OOC fresh. We're going to have 7 common opponents each year, then 1 will be fresh from the other side of the ACC. Some years ND will appear. Other than that, I hope we schedule games we can get at home and win as often as we can (Army, MAC, etc.). But not lock in with any BCS conference teams. That's the part that should always be someone new.
 
If we're doing 8 games, that opens up the possibility for any conference to conference challenges, which would be ideal. We'll get a new opponent from that league each year, and it takes the scheduling part out of our hands.
