Garrett:  VPI was an upstart nobody when they joined the Big East.  The league (Big East) helped them to build up.  There is no love loss between our schools' fans.  They took a few bowl games from us because they are able to drive their tractors and pickup trucks in large numbers to the games that we have to fly to.  They never could consistently beat us after they became good and that killed them.  They named the Carrier Dome:  the house of horrors and the Jiffy Pop Dome.  Frank Beamer accused our kicker in a game for using a [S]popsicle[/S] lollipop stick to line up a FG one time...we all got a good laugh out of that.  I think VT also accused SU of creating wind currents in the Dome to mess up their kicking.

Finally Cuse fans hate VT cuz VT also paid off Vick's HS coach and family to get him to switch to VT after giving a silent verbal to Cuse.  After we lost Vick, we lost our streak of great QBs and our mojo.

You will also find out that Louisville and VPI have a nasty rivalry going back to the Metro Days.

BTW, thanks to Bobby and the 99 team for keeping VPI without a trophy.

I'm actually glad VPI is in the ACC...they do travel well to games and we like to beat them.
