I was thoroughly disappointed when I watched it and there was no mention of UVA's softness, pretentiousness, or general lack of football ability. Cowherd's rant to this guy's rant I actually disagree when it comes to the actual rant. I can see where you are coming from but I put into consideration that Colin kept hanging up on and shit canning all the UVA fans that kept calling in to justify their program.
Let's say the UVA rant is the greatest coherent rant and this rant is the greatest incoherent mess of rage rant. For me this is a big ol' MEH. Dude wasn't quoting advanced metrics, he was quoting esoteric stats. There's a huge diff between the two. I'd wager that the advanced metrics on OL play would support what his eyes saw. As such, this comes across as an uneducated, ignorant, loud mouth rant, than anything else.
Love the Joe Pisarchek reference. I remember being at giants games where he was so bad that his own fans were absolutely raining snowballs down on him while he was heading into the tunnel at halftime. He blasted some caller earlier in the Summer for wishing that Noah Syndergaard and Yoenis Cespedes lose limbs just because they play for the Mets and not the Yankees. A ten minute epic lambasting. Torts Losing His Cool. I didn't discover it till sometime in the last year and it was glorious.

Came here expecting to see the following rant Love the Carcetti reference. That is SUCH a good episode! I really hope someone sets off Mike Gundy so that we can have a year update of this rant. I like it!!! You know what's super awesome? And dressing up for a football game. And orange, flat-front khakis. And Polo hats, worn backwards. And sorority girls, who love it when you put your arm around them, casual-like, and be all, yeah, what's up bro, I'm just hanging out, drinkin' some juleps at The University?
And pooka-shell necklaces you get when you're totally fucked up on mint juleps down at Myrtle Beach on spring break. And pretending to be, like, deep Southern, with the bushy-bowly haircut and the plaid tie.
Even though your dad's a lobbyist from New Jersey who lives in Alexandria. Seriously, who the FUCK wants to dress up for a football game? Are you assholes dressed for a football game or Saturday brunch?
Probably the latter. At least that would explain where all the "fans" are when the game starts. This is seriously the crowd at a UVA game about five minutes before kickoff. This shit is embarrassing. I almost feel bad - almost. You want to know a pretty damning statistic?
That game marked Virginia Tech's game sellout streak. You want to know how many people attended Virginia's game against the no. You want to know what one of my biggest problems with Virginia is?
Their fans blow. I mean really, really blow. This is a fan base that wants to talk all sorts of shit before the season - about how the gap is closing between the two schools in football - and then by week six is silent because the Cavaliers suck, again.
In the midst of Virginia Tech's worst season in 20 years last season, every home game still sold out. UVA couldn't even do that against one of the best teams in the country.
That's one of the ultimate indictments of suck. But I think everybody knows who the better half is. It may be old, but it's still hilarious. Mike London is a joke. I don't need to say it, but I will. Everyone already knows Mike London is a joke.
However, it's definitely worth emphasizing. And again. Hell - let's talk about last year. Last year, UVA had a chance to beat the Hokies.
However, Mike London swiftly ended that chance by not understanding the concepts of clock management. London let Frank Beamer run the clock out in the fourth quarter and kick the game-winning field goal. London had timeouts left to burn. This is UVA's head coach? Actually, that sounds about right. They really do deserve each other. You want to know how much of a joke Mike London is? On UVA's remember - this is the "public Ivy League" we're talking about here official recruiting letter, there are some pretty egregious fuck-ups.
I believe the word you're looking for is "formally," Mike. What a load of irony this letter is! So much for the prestigious UVA, eh? Continue to win conference championships? This might be the peak of hilarity. What type of delusion is Mike London under? Has he not watching UVA football for the past - oh, I don't know - decade?
Now, now - calm your powdered-wig wearing asses, Wahoo fans - I know it's your annual tradition to spout off how you're taking back the Commonwealth of Virginia. Personally, I find that adorable. I think it's great that you aspire to overtake your better half. However, it's important to take a dose of reality and Zima every once in awhile. Mike London hasn't beaten Virginia Tech. Mike London has been outscored by Virginia Tech in his three years at Virginia.
Mike London had a higher recruiting ranking than Virginia Tech during his first season, but after that has been behind Virginia Tech in the rankings. That's totally the same argument someone used about girls who go to UVA games. I would agree on the whole UVA football fans may not be that die hard as Tech fans, but no matter what school, I think you will have prissy fairweather girls and guys.
Same old thing, J. The internet has given a whole lot of people an avenue to ignore their internal censors, get all brave and spew whatever nonsense springs into their heads. The trick for the rest of us is to recognize it for the white noise it is.
I can't imagine that anyone with more than a couple working synapses would take this kind of chesty bullcrap read on the internet seriously in terms of forming a judgment on a school. And if they did they're probably not the kind of person likely to get invited to a place like UVA in the first place. But I am using anecdotal evidence, so obviously my generalizations are suspect. For the record I did get into UVA, my mom really wanted me to go there, but for a variety of reasons One reason was that I could not stand the kids that were actually going to UVA from my high school, and the thought of hanging around people like them for 4 more years was not particularly attractive.
And one my dad told me it was a school for breeding southern gentlemen I knew it was not the school for me. Graduate school is another matter entirely and, coincidently, where schools prefer to be ranked , but if you are a 17 year old heading down to C-Ville is not gonna get you the best edumacashun, though as a 21 or 22 year old the institution is pretty bad ass.
And UVA soccer ain't that hot, their players are pretty wack, but because this is America you can be mediocre at soccer and still rise to the top. Sigh, another rant entirely. In March , the Princeton Review ranked the University of Virginia seventh in its list of top-valued public undergraduate colleges. The Princeton Review looks at a variety of factors to determine which colleges make the list, including academic factors, cost and financial aid, said Robert Franek, vice president of publishing at the Princeton Review.
First, the company considers the competitiveness of the schools based on admission criteria, he said. Then it considers the reactions of students and what they think of the professors and overall experience at their college or university.
See, this is the kind of thing I don't understand. But I also realize that at some point it crosses the line from friendly smack to something more along the lines of willful ignorance. I'm in the process of shopping for and applying to colleges for my oldest, and have two more to put through in just a few more years. And I gotta tell you, Hokie blood or not, if my kids can get accepted to UVA and tell me they want to go there, I'll be damn proud to pony up to send them to one of the best universities in the country, regardless of what I might think of the ascots and zinfandel at their football games.
Sure we were more laid back and lazy, but certain things I just did not enjoy. Many of them hate UVA, of that group I'm sure half have a sour grapes attitude for not getting in.
Then I hear people say it gives just as good if not a better education than UVA, and UVA just has prestige and grad schools going for it. I say nay. The thing is, with all the variety offered at UVA, and all their resources, as well as a different type of student body, UVA does deserve it's recognition as one of the best if not the best state school in the country, and this ranking I heard for their undergrad as well.
You UVA people make me laugh, what hypocrites. You can dish it out but can't take it. This thread is a prime example of why people think what they do about UVA.
Where your faggity pep band did that little skit that insulted the people from West Virginia. That wasn't even the first time! Back in they did something damn near similar with another halftime performance insulting people from West Virginia.
Atleast this guy only made fun of UVA. UVA made fun of a whole damn state. Not once but twice! I can't wait till you grow the balls to come to Morgantown. Prev 1 2 Next Page 1 of 2.
