SO Rooting For WVU

[Faegan]

Remember the Alamo!!!! (Or when Mark Warner tanked our earlier entry into the ACC in 2003)

 

[Trueblue25]

Yeah, never. Go ACC.

NO

ACC : Cut off: Lobbying by Virginia officials caused SU to lose its ACC bid in 2003

 

[Trueblue25]

NO

Only time I root for WVU is against Pitt.

I'm fine with that immediately making me a hypocrite. Calls 'em hows I sees 'em.

 

[longislandcuse]

A stronger ACC is better for us, so go Hokie's.

The ACC is rivaling the SEC and B1G in CFB. I like playing in a strong conference that doesn't have to worry about members leaving.

Is Oliver Luck still the WVU AD? The one who said one of the service academies brings more to the table than Syracuse?

I always hated WVU, but I hated VT slightly more from like 1995-03. Then once they left the BE it was back to WVU, especially once Luck popped off.

I can't in good conscience say "Go..." anybody in this one. And I'm quite happy that we're a combined 4-0 this decade against these two.

 

[longislandcuse]

Tech's play calling is about as vanilla as ours vs CC State.

 

[HtownOrange]

Can they both lose?

Since that is not possible, I have to pull for the ACC team. All ACC wins strengthen the conference as a whole and this would be a win over a ranked opponent and a P5 opponent. I have a hard time pulling for the Chokies in any game but I have to for the greater good of the Orange.

At least I get half my wish, one of the two will lose.

 

[Alsacs]

VPI played politics in 2003.
WVU and their crazy fanbase has tried to do more to destabilize the ACC as they are butthurt.

So screw WVU in this matchup.

They want to be in the ACC badly.

ACC after yesterday needs this win.

Ditto. Screw VT and UVA. Always and forever.

Luck mouthed off in 2011 and about a week later we torched them in the Dome. Can't stand that arrogant punk. He isn't the AD anymore.

 

[Briancuse]

I don't like either, not rooting for anyone. I don't know why I just don't like Holgerson.

Yeah, that's right. That 2011 Dome game is probably my favorite Cuse game in like the last 15 years. When we picked a pass off to end the 3rd quarter (we were just pouring it on at that point) I actually sprinted a lap around my entire house, upstairs and down, and then outside and around the perimeter of my yard, in celebration. I was so fired up.

And then we pounded them again in the bowl game the following season. Can't say I've paid an ounce of attention to WVU since.

As they should. Their conference is just hanging on to P5 status at this point. If it wasn't for the name brands of Texas/Oklahoma and Kansas Basketball, they would've imploded by now given the performance and interest level of the conference.

 

[Ozcuse]

ACC>B12

I don't root for VT often but against WfVU is one of the few exceptions.

Big ups for WfVU. All-time great photo.

Between this game and UCLA, what a freakin AWESOME night of football!!

I wore out my last channel button.

 

[Trueblue25]

WVU loses, its a good night.

As did we all...

or being kicked out

In hindsight, those two schools probably saved us from complete oblivion. Can you imagine if we had been ACC fodder during the Grob years? We may have never recovered.

Just about everyone connected with UVa was pi$$ed at what Warner did. We didn't want VPI in the ACC., end of story.

Based on how things are constructed, you would have been in the Coastal Division with Da U, dook, UNC-CHeat, Ga Tech and us, with BC as your crossover, instead of the meatgrinder you're in now.
