does UVA lose to William & Mary? Not only lose but almost get doubled up, 26-14.
6 turns. Richmond beat Duke today also.
ACC takes a HUGE hit today
Duke losing to a bad team
UVA embarrasing loss
VT, one of their favorites got dominated.
VT didn't exactly get dominated, in terms of total yards and TOP they did, but they led at halftime and were in it deep into the fourth qtr so to say they got dominated is a little over the top.
And as far as I'm concerned they shouldn't be the favorite in the ACC, that's just the Media pumping 'em up just like every other year.
Congrats to 'Bama on a hard fought game.
id say 498 total yards to 155 total yards is pretty dominant
Tech got lucky breaks until the 4th qtr. I said in the other thread they were lucky to be in the game. But their luck ran out and they showed they couldnt hang with the sec today.
I can't wait for resident VT/ACC homer "Buck" to get on here and tell us how the ACC is such a great conference and on the rise. Was it supposed to be this year or next that the ACC was better than the SEC? 4-6 the first weekend with 1 win over an FBS school and that was Clemson beating Middle Tennessee.Quote:

I agree ACC has a few decent teams perhaps in the top 25 as the season drags on... but they don't have any real contenders. SEC > All
Great weather for a "Chokie" cobbler!!!
The SEC is a great conference, but it's just Florida and the 11 Dwarfs. Bama is the only other good team in the conference, but there not close to Florida's level.
What? By the end of the year the 4th place SEC team could win the National Title over whoever the BCS picks. SEC is tough from top to bottom. I hate the SEC and only pull for them when they play the Big 12. As far as teams go I hate Tennessee and Oklahoma the same and hope they both could lose every game even if they were to play each other.Quote:

Or the 1st down run by Williams which the refs spotted a yard and a half from where he went down when VT was down 27-24 and on the ensuing play where "holding" was called on DeChristopher on Williams' 1st down run, the hands surely looked in to me! And tell me how many players you have witnessed pushing referees and not get ejected from the freaking game!! H@ll, the cheap shot on Render should have been enough!Quote:

sorry, SEC may be considered the best conference but the 4th place team year in and year out would get killed in the BCS title game. as for tough from top to bottom, not really. was Tennessee really that tough last year? how about Vandy year in and year out? SEC has their dogs just all other conference's. Last year the SEC was down with really only 2 good teams.Quote:

you make me laugh by your pitiful-ness. you truly believe the refs were out to get VT and screwed them. no, they didnt.
you try and say all this bull**** thats simply not true.
mcclain didnt SHOVE a ref on purpose, the ref got in his face and mcclain was waving his arms.
cry some more, crybaby
i could whine about the BLATANT holds on VT's kick returns, esp the TD when the guy OBVIOUSLY held Mark Barron, but THATS FOOTBALL.
you give VT fans a bad name by getting on here, crying like a lil girl, and acting like the big bad refs gave Bama the game.
give it up, VT isnt very good, they will compete in the ACC but wont be able to stay close to any of the elite teams
There are three things in major college athletics that anybody with half a brain should know. They are the following, in no particular order:
The SEC is the best at football.
The ACC is the best at basketball.
The University of North Carolina has the best athletic program in the nation when considering all sports.
Anybody who argues one of those threee things doesn't carry much weight with me.
I don't think he's really blaming the refs. He said like twice in the post that Bama was clearly the better team. I didn't see the game because:Quote:

In all honesty LSU, or Florida made need to be thrown in with that very best athletci program talk.Quote:

Florida has a better overall program in the last 5 years in reality, with 2 football and basketball national titles, a volleyball title I believe (or at least final four), a top ranked softball program and for the most part a good baseball program. Track teams aren't bad either. LSU is right there with a football national title, basketball Final Four, baseball national title, womens Final Four appearances, and one of the best track programs in the land.
FSU has won 3 consecutive track titles during the last 5 years.
I don't know if UNC has the best athletic programs in the country, but I know the ACC is the best athletic conference when all sports are considered.
How do you know that? :)Quote:

Back on topic..... I could see Coach Phillip Fulmer being the next coach at the University of Virginia. Groh won't be there next year IMO and Fulmer is available, just a thought.
Beamer is starting to go down the same road as Fulmer went down.
