ESPN Gameday Commercial - Hokie Bird

[settermanfishing]

GO BLUE!!

[laxlad1995]

If VT is a football school where is their national championship?

[luvtrails]

@laxlad1995 Not every team can win the championship, ya know. We've won a ton of bowl games and had multiple 10 win seasons. That's a good football program.

[calgarmagnus]

Also, It's pretty obvious who has been better in football in recent years, but to remind UVA fans clammering about how much better they are in basketball, keep in mind VT is up on UVA 6-4 over the past 5 season, and both teams have only managed to make one NCAA tournament in that time. Way to 'dominate' us. Your basketball success overwhelms me.

[calgarmagnus]

I love how UVA fans keep throwing their 17 championships in soccer, lacrosse, cross country, rowing and boxing in our face like anyone in the country cares about ANY of those sports. Lets be honest, the only college sports anyone cares about are football and basketball, and you don't have any of those NC titles either.

[uvafootball34]

Well it is hard to argue with the fact that you guys are the least successful athletic department in the conference. You guys just aren't good enough at anything to win it all and never will be. That was also a typical hokie answer, there wasn't enough intelligence to add any value at all to the conversation

[uvafootball34]

@number1hokiefan please answer a question for me. Who is the only school in the state of Virginia to be ranked number 1 in FBS college football? The answer: The University of Virginia. Stop acting like you guys are a power house. You are the only school in the ACC without a national championship in any sport at all. Congratulations on being the downfall of the conference...

[tech4life88]

@uvafootball34 downfall? hahahahahahhahahahahahhahahaha­hahaha

[zard1214]

@uvafootball34 Who is the only school in the state of Virginia to be in BCS championship?

ans:NOT uva. It's VT.

[beerizzle13]

@zard1214 only team in Virginia to be ranked #1 ??? UVA !

[zard1214]

@beerizzle13 Only team in Virginia to be at BCS bowl/championship? VT! Suck on that!

[beerizzle13]

@zard1214 better to be number one than get smoked by 3 scores in a bcs title game... gotta love that bcs process, must be why everyone is shouting to keep it in place !

[zard1214]

@beerizzle13 It is better to be #1 if you are #1 at the end of the season and head to championship. It's funny how uva talk shit to VT about football. Last year, you guys were talking about jmu whole season only to be raped by VT at the end of the season. VT get's a chance to be at the BCS bowls/championship. uva is lucky to have more than 6 wins a season

[beerizzle13]

@zard1214 tech was #2 at the end of that season. uva is lucky to have more than 6 wins in a season... you are right there. hope you know that it is ten times tougher to get athletes into uva with their academic standards. i believe 80 pct. of hokie football players major in TURF MANAGEMENT. enjoy growing that grass hokie grads !

[zard1214]

@beerizzle13 uva kids just don't get it do they? Our football players can actually think of going pro unlike uva football players. uva can brag about their academic ranking. VT kids are mostly engineering majors with few architect majors. we don't care how uva talks about academic ranking. enjoy another beat down. I know uva is used to it by now.

[flyhooguy]

@zard1214 based just on the 2010-2011, VT's freshman class had almost 3 times as many non-engineering majors as engineers (6461 engineers to 17176 non-engineers). get your facts straight.

[zard1214]

@flyhooguy and how many different majors are there at tech?

[flyhooguy]

@zard1214 i counted about 100, but i'm not sure how reliable the list is. college board says its about 23% Business/Marketing majors undergrad vs. 19% in engineering. my point is that tech is not "mostly engineering majors with a few architect majors." what's your point?

[zard1214]

@flyhooguy point:we still couldn't care less about your fancy ranking

[zard1214]

@beerizzle13 and we still have coaching staffs who brought VT to NC and BCS bowls. uva don't even have a water boy who were part of the team when they were #1.

[number1hokiefan]

@wahoos0595 get a job u guys haven't even been to the national championship. I bet it feels great watching bowl season without a team in it

[wahoos0595]

How many national championships? and oh yeah, 40-12 in the OB that was entertaining.

[beatleboy9020001]

@wahoos0595

Really? and wat bowl game was UVA in this year?....Oh Wait

[prettyfly42192]

lmao I loved that.

Go Hokies.

and um come on hoos. Im tired of all the silence from you guys.

[jtizzlei]

we will see whos laughing after VT kills UVa in football

[austinjgale]

hahahaha "still got it"

[beatleboy9020001]

at least that worked for them in the bowl season.....Oh Wait!!!

[MOBROOKS]

hahaha! great commercial! ya gotta love kirk.

[kbholla]

I'm sorry are there people actually trying to argue that UVA is better than VT? hahahahahaha

thanks a needed a good laugh.hahahahaha

[bunsofmolybdenum]

Well for literally anything other than football it's not really an argument at all.

[zoomwalter]

How about basketball, the two biggest sports in college, but typical uva fan you talk about lacrosse and swimming when half of the country does not give a shit.

[bunsofmolybdenum]

Thanks for proving my point. UVA owns VPI in basketball. Last year was UVA's worse year in basketball in 30 years but still went 1-1 against the chokies.

[zoomwalter]

How about the year before dumbass, remember, when tech beat them both times. Try arguing with someone who doesn't know more than you, then maybe you can win. Even still it is not all about head to head and Va Tech has had far more success in recent history overall. Go Hoos though man, William and Mary is a tough test so don't worry about that opening day step back, the schedule gets easier once ACC play starts... Wait no it doesn't

[bunsofmolybdenum]

UVA leads the series all time 78-50. Try arguing against that and not looking like a retard.

[bunsofmolybdenum]

I mean of course not looking like more of a retard. Being a VPI fan makes you look like one by default.

[zoomwalter]

So we are really going back to the first time they ever played in judging who is better? I do not care who won 30 years ago, I look at recent history and UVA just graduated a football class who never experienced beating tech, and in basketball we have beaten you 3 out of 4 times and our program is clearly better than yours. If you want to find consolation in games played before you were born than be my guest. Go hoos, I just cant get over that William and Mary game, THEY ARE DIVISION 1 AA

[bunsofmolybdenum]

To put 79-50 (forgot to account for UVA's recent win) in perspective, VT would have to sweep the annual series for 14 and a half years to tie UVA in wins. If you think that's possible then you are even more delusional than typical hokies.

Let me point out again that UVA went 1-1 against VPI during UVA's worst season in 30 years and one of VPI's best seasons EVER. Clearly better indeed.

[zoomwalter]

It is about recent history I can not say that any more times, right now tech is by far on top in football, as they have been the last 7 years, and easily on top in basketball. Keep livin in the past brah, unfortunately you cant really root for 1972 uva teams because they aren't playing anymore. Thats even worse for you because there isnt much to cheer for anymore in c-ville.

[bunsofmolybdenum]

UVA is 6-5 against VPI in basketball over the last 6 years. Is that recent enough for you?

[zoomwalter]

Yes it actually is, and that is the first good point you have made yet, but VT basketball was never very good until the last few years, and are now on the rise so expect more domination to come.

[beamerball666]

@bunsofmolybdenum Good for you you've beaten an inept basketball program that until recently was dreadful so good for you but oh wait when did you last win in lane stadium oh yeah 1998&when did you last beat us in Charlottesville? 03 how many in a row 6 hell is there anyone studying at Virginia that was there last time you beat our football team?

[uvafootball34]

@zoomwalter How about basketball? You guys have not succeed for shit in basketball. You always choke your big games and just can not get in the tournament. You, as a hokie, are a fan of a single sport school. You guys have sold your soul for football and all you have gotten out of it is a few ACC championships. Congrats on that, the 2nd worst football conference of the Big 6. I guess that makes you a power house in college football.... even though you guys have never even been ranked 1st

[uscnef]

lol. bunch of hicks laughing. too bad thats taped at the LA Colesium and not Va techs or Scott Stadium.

[xXbannanapuddingXx]

haha

lmao

[StFidjnr]

@ 5 seconds guess who just show up on the scene.

[gohokiesgo]

Too bad UVA sux.

[jeffro151]

15 national championships for UVa.

0 for VPI & SU.

[GoHoKiEs19]

i'd rather win football games weenie

[fullnelson9999]

hahahaha

good call

[mxwelch]

I'm a huge VT fan but that is funny as hell. Especially the guy at the end screaming "gimme that Hokie Pokie now baby!!" BWHAHAHAHA!!!!

[hokiejdp]

Steal UVA's Mascot. Hokie Bird #1

[NightPhantom666]

GO CAVALIERS!

[hokie4lyfe]

24-10? 52-14? 17-0? 33-21? all i have to say.

go drink a damn Zima

[RickTorn]

Hard to believe that Hokie-in-spirit Herbstreit would stoop so low.

However Hokies always extract their revenge on the Cavs on the football field. Does anyone remember the last time UVA won?

[uvarules123]

2003. When's the last time Tech won a national championship? Does anybody remember that? All I can remember is when they were in the Sugar Bowl in the national championship with Michael Vick.

[sevenyearhawk]

that is just wrong ...

but not a bad idea to try on Truman the Tiger next year at the Border War! :D

[bekizzle7]

hdouble...they won one yesterday...

[NACHILLANT13]

how about them hokies, they can joke on us about that commercial all they want but every year they get their asses stomped by the hokies!!!

[DAVISELEMENT101BRO]

Im with the Hokieman07 Kirk's a dick.

[hokieman07]

Kirk is a little bitch.

[HDouble]

Hmmm, wonder why the chokies have a plaque on the wall with his quote about your 'great ' fans and atmosphere. I guess it's the same reason you have a perpetually empty trophy case that waits for a NC that will never come. Has it been 50,000 days sans championship yet?

Stupid hokies.

[ConnorMulherin]

And your Trophy case is full of what? Women's sports trophies, and god damn lacrosse shit.

Have fun watching TV in the O-Bowl loser.

"Good luck with that Chardonnay"

[HDouble]

UVA: 19 recognized national championships, 14 since 1980.

VT: well, the number is shaped like a turkey's asshole, which I'm sure you're very familiar with.

And by the way, THIS is how you reply to a comment, inbred redneck.

[ConnorMulherin]

No one has said yet what the trophies are for, they are the sports that only the parents of the players come to see. By the way I don't go to Tech, I'm not a redneck and my parents aren't related. That gets real old considering UVA really isn't that much harder to get into than Tech so this whole redneck thing is bullshit, but the rumor that all UVA students at stuck up, zima drinking, preps is right on.

[ehlu15]

@ConnorMulherin And your trophy case is full of what?

Oh yeah, air! Because VT hasn't won shit! Win a national championship in football (and actually beat JMU) before you talk about being a powerhouse and a legendary school. Oh, by the way, has VT ever even been ranked #1? Because UVA has

[corerules]

give me some of that hokie pokie now boy lmfao

[MCristianMyers]

Hokie Hokie Hokie Hy!

[Jiddy12345]

hokie pokie*

[MalkinFan25]

The only reason they used the Hokie bird instead of the Cavalier is because you cant stick mice into the spandex outfit that the UVA mascot wears... By the way your not homosexual if you wear a tie to a football game, but it is a football game for goodness sake. You dont need to look like an achorman to cheer for your school, yikes

[GLHat]

hilljack

[KingOfBlacksburg]

If I were queer, I would wear a tie to a football game. If I were queer, I would go to UVa.

[utoobia]

LOL, homophobic are we? What a meathead.

[wescod]

give me that hokey pokey now baby!

[imnewtryme]

stupid uva.

[blackout360]

LMFAO!!

[rmulla]

look at that idiot wearing a tie!
