And by the way. Virginia has been getting talent. Groh's first four classes or so were all ranked withing the top 15-20 nationally. Players like Eugene Monroe, Michael Johnson, Ahmad Brooks, Phillip Brown, Mikell Simpson, Peter Lalich, Nick Jenkins, Chris Long were all highly touted. If you will notice though only four of the players listed made an impact. The others were underdeveloped or booted from the team. It isn't a lack of talent, it's a lack of coaching and common sense.
No. If the University takes it easy on the football players it has to take it easy on everyone else. I'm never going to agree with you. It is not impossible to win and hold high academic standards and character(I.E. USC, Michigan, Cal, etc.) Those schools have done it right for the most part. UVA doesn't have to sink to the level of VT to win. Look at the criminals that have been on that team that have been allowed to keep playing. Remember Ahmad Brooks, Phillip Brown, Vince Redd? GONE.
I bled orange and blue for four years, my wallet is still bleeding orange and blue. It's great that you are a fan, but the thing that you have to understand is that UVA is an academic institution, the second ranked public university in the nation and rest assured that every athlete that committs to UVA understands that. I was a student athlete and can promise you that the athletes are real students, there are no special arrangements made. I paid for my degree and I want it to keep it's value.
Yep, like VT's tradition of sub par academics, allowing any thug to attend their school as long as they can play football, etc........Dude, seriously get real....VT only became "good" at football once Frank Beamer decided to sell his soul to the department of corrections to keep his job. I for one would rather lose with dignity than sacrifice the value and prestige of my degree...
And I'm going to brush off that MIT, CalPoly comment. I already stated the #1 statistic. You UVA people are very fond of those academic stats.
Also, you mention us not being able to "beat them with brains." At what point in time haven't I? Your only arguing point is, "We're smarter," and in every comment you make, you just reword that phrase. That conformity comment you made doesn't even make sense. Were you drunk when you wrote all of this?
Yup, #1 over programs at PSU and WVU. Wow, what an achievement. So you guys are top of the compost heap of schools offering "Mineral Engineering" was it?
Your quote: "in fact it is just another southern school, except its football team sucks." Yeah that's real brainy, the "VT has a great football team, UVA doesn't" argument.
You claimed UVA is conformist in an earlier post. My retort was VT evolved from a military school, where conformity is a way of life.
Look at your comments. All about how people who graduated UVA are "handicapped" or "conformist" And how we're your "punching bag" Lemme ask you a question Nolan. And this goes for all the other hokies here...if you're so confident in how great VT is, why are you looking for videos about UVA and then posting crap about UVA? Obsessed much? Stay on the Tech videos, and be positive hokies. Being angry about UVA isn't good for you.
Penn State and WVU, now there are some real academic bastions!!!
Sorry about giving VT credit for only accepting 40% of applicants. That was way too generous. The number is actually close to 75%. Man, that's pathetic. Pretty much anybody gets in to VT, please, just apply!!! No essay necessary, even, so you don't even have to prove you're literate!!! Sad dude, real sad.
The reason all Hoos think that all Hokies wanted to go to the University is that all Hoos wanted to Ivy but didn't get in to an Ivy League school. Thus, they make incorrect assumptions about Hokies and pretend their school is Ivy, when in fact it is just another southern school, except its football team sucks.
I applied to one college, was accepted and attended....
You hokies are clueless. Plenty of hoos get into ivy league schools, but not everybody wants to pay an ivy league tuition. If you think UVA is just another southern school, that probably explains why you're at Tech, you have no clue about higher education. For people who really care about an education, Va. Tech is a joke. It's where high schoolers go because they graduated high school. All you need is tuition money, and a pulse to get in. And being an idiot doesn't hurt either.
Huh, the number one or two public school in the country is the largest safety school on the east coast? Getting into an academic debate with a hokie is such a waste of time. It's like talking to a child. You guys accept almost 75% of your 20K+ applicants just to get a few thousand to say yes. You're not even a backup school. You're a backup to the backup schools.
uva is so starved for students now that they have to put on impromptu concerts for enrollment... I always figured it would get bad, but this is just pathetic.
This post barely merits a comment because it betrays just how bitter you are because of that thin envelope you got in the mail from UVA. We accept around 10 percent of applicants, and 99 percent of them are in the top 10 percent of their class. You guys accept around 40 percent of your weaker applicants for a lot more slots. So who's starved for quality students? You're an engineer do the math. Oh yeah, you're a VT engineer, not MIT, CalPoly or even GT. Sorry.
mdlowe - great UVA grammar. You meant "it PORTRAYS just how bitter."
Based on the "math" in your comments, clearly you did not have to take any actual analytical classes at Mr. Jefferson's School. But since you went to that fine liberal arts college of the South, at least you should be able to string together a coherent sentence. Visualize that you are sipping juleps at one of those fake corporate cotillions - a comfortable environment for a UVA fan!
Nope, BETRAYS is exactly what I intended, look the word up. And it's true, my numbers were off, but the real numbers are terrible for VT. We accept around 29% of our applicants. VT accepts around 73% of theirs. Almost 3/4 of their applicants. Wow, it pretty much only takes a pulse and an application to get in to VT. No essays on the application either! I'll give the VT admin credit, at least they know their applicants are pretty much illiterate too...
how to sniff out a conformist member of the uva cultured society, part 1... they think all hokies wanted to go to uva.. in an atmosphere so starved for attention and so deprived of individuality and creativity, uva has actually convinced their students that everyone wants to be like them.. that is just... depressing... good luck to you 'hoos... try hanging that diploma from your rear view mirror.. I'm sure they'll let you use that handicap spot.
How to sniff out a hokie, part 1: They have to bash anything UVA, because THEY DID NOT GET IN. And if you didn't apply, it's because you knew you didn't have the credentials to get in. It's as simple as that. Conformist? you're the jokers based on a military school. Speaking of diplomas, most of the country just laughs at yours-it's barely better than showing a high-school diploma. In fact, there are high-schools that are more academically rigorous than Tech.
I'm a mining engineering major in the #1 program in the country. When the day arrives that your institute of mediocrity and inflated self-worth becomes of any personal value to me, I will retract all statements bashing UVA. Until then, keep singing in your undies, because that's just about all you're worth, besides being Virginia Tech's punching bag in nearly every aspect of existence.
Your punching bag in what son? Typical hokie, all bluster, no facts. Always gotta turn to football. And who cares? Do you shake your keys really well at the games, and will you put that on your resume? You and your other hokie buddies on here calling UVA gay, and handicapped. Those are hokies for you. If you can't beat them with brains, they're gay and it's "fightin' time." Still living in high school hokies.
Look at your posts, and tell me who is feeling defensive and trying to prove how smart they are? So very Hokiesque. Your major sounds really creative and so non-conformist. mining engineering!! If it's number one, it's because hardly any other college in the country bothers with that major. LMAO.
Just one more reason I LOVE this school and AVP!!! <3 <3 <3 <3 they/this are/is amazing :D
