The UVA Fool said...: So where do we go from here? Do we root for Virginia wins, or do we hope that we lose out to seal the deal with some coaching changes?

Personally, I'm thinking that I root for only one more W this season -- vs. Virginia Tech. A 4-8 season (included losses to W&M and Duke) should be enough to seal Groh's fate. A win over Virginia Tech is nothing short of embarrassing for them.; November 1, 2009 at 10:45 PM

Meg said...: I feel your pain, having the same rooting allegiances -- the Michigan teams since forever, UVA since several weeks before a stirring 63-21 loss to (a pre-Zook) Illinois team ...

(Also: Hi, Brian! Rooting against your team is bad karma. For shame.); November 6, 2009 at 10:25 PM
Brendan said...: Funny, that game against Illinois was sorta-kinda my first as a UVA fan. I was pulling for UVA because my application was in but I didn't know if I'd be accepted yet, so I was afraid to get too wrapped up in it lest I be turned down. Good thing. I'd have had a pretty similar reaction.

(of course, that means my first real game as a fan was the next year against BYU....ouch.); November 8, 2009 at 9:44 PM
