There's a lot of action going on today, with Kansas already manhandling a reeling Kentucky team, and it looks like Maryland is going to lose to Miami also...
#12 N.C. State plays at #25 UNC at 3;
#18 Ohio State plays at #15 Indiana at 4;
plus a host of other top 25 teams playing today...
Yup Terps go down, the more faith you gain the more they take away. Miami was unreal from 3 land today, glad to see that Diaz has to wake up when he plays the Terps.
You forgot to mention the top 2 teams in the ACC just finished a heated battle.
The Wahoos took down the Juggernaut that is Clemson in a heated 64-58 battle, proving they are the best team in the country.
*I am not dillusional, I just can't wait to leave work at 3 so I'm being stupid*
UVA didn't play bad today, I watched part of the game. Singletary was his normal self through in 17 and Adrian Joesph actually showed up and played. Reynolds knocked some big free throws in the end and Vernon Hamilton throwing the ball out of bounds for Clemson didn't hurt either.
Oh wow glad to hear it, wish I could've watched it.
Unlike everyone else at UVA, I always keep a faithful optimism about the basketball team (except for Gillen's last 2 years).
With the JPJ Arena going up and Leitao in town I feel like we can turn things around.
I (sadly) honestly also think that if VT could get some alumni interested in basketball and get some decent facilities they could become a contender. I just hope Leitao gets on the ball quickly because the ACC is not gonna get any easier in years to come.
maybe if we were to finish 4th in the ACC we would be considered a contender
I love Leitao...I was admittedly skeptical at first, but after seeing him in action a couple times, he demands the hard-work and discipline the UVa desperately needed...
Yeah the guy definitely has my respect.
What I don't understand is how some UVA fans have been complaining that Leitao is too hard on his players whenever they fubar and he yells at them in front of everyone whenever they get pulled out.
When Gillen was in town people were begging for more discipline. I hate the fans who complain too much. Seriously hoping Leitao shuts them up.
I'm not a UVA fan but outise of Maryland I pull for them and Wake Forest more than any other teams. I pretty much pull for the ACC except Carolina and Duke and the new arrival schools. I dont think they belong and I will never like Tech, Miami, BC, or FSU. Wish we could go back to the old days.
Football brings in the $$$$ and basketball will take a backseat as long as that holds true.
Do you think the new-look Big East Super Basketball Conference will start to dominate?
people go to UVa football games?
Iowa is leadin #6 Illinois at halftime 23-19....Dee Brown was strugglin early, but you won't see me betting against him for the second half...
Sure do.
Just like people at Tech go to class and have hard majors like Communications, Hospitality and Tourism, and Nutrition.
*The Sarcasm doesn't apply to your E-school of course and some of your other Science Programs as well, but let's be honest, that's more a minority at VPISU than the rule*.
im a nutrition major
Sorry to be offensive, but I had to come back after the attendance remark. To be about half the size of Tech, I think we do well for ourselves in terms of consistent attendance.
People go to VT cause they have a good football program, unless your taking enginerring at Tech I really dont think anyone can brag about the rest of their majors. UVA-Wise is better than Tech in most categories, many people around here take it for granted but it really is a great school. We just dont have a D-1 Football program.
uva-wise has a better business school?
yeah i agree with pvfan
Honestly, you go major for major outside of engineering and I'll take us. I'd just assume to take my political science degree I hope to have evenutally from Wise as compared to Tech.
haha well i guess you have your own opinion
Do you really see a difference in a history/political science degree from Wise compared to Tech?
Um. No. Pamplin is a nationally ranked business school for undergrad and MBA programs.
history...big plus to VT, VT has one professor who is better then your entire "university"...Dr. Robertson
don't know anything about our political science dept
I disagree with both of you all. And VTgal can vouch for this, in the real world, nobody gives a damn where you graduate from. To get most jobs, employers want work experience. 99% of what you learn in college doesnt mean crap so in reality, where you go to school or the ranking of a school is beyond overrated. To go a little further, every single out of state job interview that Ive had, the employer always said "oh so you went to UVA, thats impressive" so even if it has the at wise in it, nobody outside of virginia knows the difference. In retrospect, Vtgal's marketing degree from vt is no better than my business administration degree.
so wise students are banking on an employer not knowing it's actually uva-wise??
hehe sorry to get this thread started, but I agree with Mega
I seriously doubt the smartest man/woman in America goes to Harvard. For all you know the next big CEO/physician/businessman/lawyer could be at Central Backweeds Wyoming Poly A&M State simply because of finances or any other one of an innumerable list of circumstances. The smarter and most resilient people in the world will make do with what they have.
That being said, most people go to Tech to party and for football, but there are a respectable number of gems that come out of the school - more so a minority than the rule. I just hate VT with all my heart, sorry.
and i hate UVa with all my being...UVa-wise however, is just irrelevant
no youre missing the point, employers first and foremost see that your disciplined enough to go to a 4 year college and graduate. Second, there are SOOOOOO many graudates in the world, that employers really arent going to be impressed with where you graduated because the only thing you can really do for them is do entry level work. Employers will take a high school graduate with 5 years work experience in the area they need over a recent college graduate any day of the week, regardless of where they went to college.
and just to add a little to this subject, a college degree doesn't necessarily make you smart, all it does is show you know how to look stuff up.
So you should know how? I think you basically ask me if i was drunk in another post because i questioned a coaching change and how it was done.
Yet your so politically correct when you need to be???
Or is if it is a few people you are replying to?
no their big boy, I just hadn't heard you talk like that before, it surprised me some, sorry if that offended you, but don't come over here and try and start crap with me, I just asked you a simple question, I probably should have worded it different, but oh well.
Well the problem is you opened the can of worm so you deal with them big man.
You open something up you better be able to deal with it. It's called maturity. You will learn as you grow. But don't start something you can't answer.
I've got more maturity in my left nut than you've got in all your years of wisdom. I don't have a problem with you, but if you want to continue this conversation we can through pm's, I said it was not something that typically comes out of you mouth, but obviously you want to start crap with everyone today so lets go old man.

Hahahahaha. That's hilarious.
Okay. Yes, I agree with Mega mostly on this subject. This past week I was turned down for a job that paid CRAP and had no benefits. Why was I interested? I looked at it as a starting point to gain experience. They wanted someone who was going to stick around for the the long-run...i.e. they wanted someone who was basically retired from their "career" and needed just a supplement type job or a "fun job".
I'm still a graduate from VT...still left needing experience....and now looking at grad school. Blah.

No, UVA-Wise is one small step above a community college. I transferred from a big school, which was similar to V.T. because of its engineering program, to UVA-Wise my junior year and it was a joke. The faculty are old and boring, a majority of the classrooms should be condemned, and they still do add/drop schedules by paper. About the only thing UVA-Wise is good for is to get a high G.P.A. because it's easy and then move on to grad school.
I think I might be able to guess where that was if it was around here.
I agree for the most part Collage education is a big deal in getting your First job after that it is 99% experience.
While I do not Hire people in my current job I am often given resumes and ask to provide feedback. And for good of bad I would take the person who graduated from Nowhere U with 5 year experience over the person from Big time U with no experience

Personally, I'm quite happy with the degree I earned from Tech in political science. People can say they think UVA-wise is better than Tech and in some aspects it may be, but that is like comparing apples to oranges- it is two totally different things. Tech is a university and it has advantages because of its large size (more class offerings, better classrooms, better technology to teach with) while UVA-Wise, a college, has the advantage of being small (smaller classes, more focus on the individual, etc) and it is much more affordable. But, personally, I wouldn't trade my four years at Tech for anything. [img]/LDPforum/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
