Are you sure? UVA had all that time to prepare for Navy’s High School Offense. And Navy had their 2nd string QB. I can’t believe that UVA didn’t know what was coming. Maybe they aren’t as smart as people think up in C’ville

Lets be real, the hoots gave up by halftime. Also, the way they think in some of their curriculum, those folks only have credibility by the name of the school and not the people in it.

UVA football players are not too smart to begin with. If they were , most would have gone to some other school. In addition to not being smart, they are "soft", especially on defense. Of the 11 players on defense, most of their tackles seem to be made by 2 or 3 players. On offense, their playbook is like "another team" I am familiar with. They only use 1 page of playbook and have no running game. The most over rated 6-6 team in nation, (now 6-7). Mendenhall is full of "hot air".

I really thought last year that betweeen UVa and Tech that UVa hired the better coach.
Now I'm not so sure.

Now I'm not so sure.
But it’s not like Tech didn’t get spanked last night! Of course that was against a sophisticated offense. Not the high school offense that the US Naval Academy runs

VT played a much tougher opponent than UVA.
Mendenhall won at BYU because he had more older, mature , tougher and better disciplined players than he has in Charlottesville. He blows some of same music that Mike London blew while he was HC.
If I recall correctly, many BYU players went on a 2 year Mormon Mission, before their college career ended, thus the reason for older players.
I guess most UVA players went to Hooville in hopes of early playing time. They certainly did not go there to be on a winning team.

Here's a thought, ballcoach: maybe they chose UVa to get a world-class EDUCATION.

Good grammar is important in certain facets of written communication, but not on a sports message board.

Look at what happens to Cruzan when he/she gets frazzled. Grammar, punctuation, spelling and syntax all become flexible.

I'm assuming you use poor grammar for the attention it brings, because some things you write are very readable ( The quoted comment above, for example). At first, I attributed it to old age, by my 78 year old father makes more sense with his written/typed/texted words than you do and he still uses a flip phone!

I can write "halfway" proper when need arises, but when I was in the Army, "bullet comments" were utilized more often than not. (Both verbal and written). I still have a military mindset most of the time.

My father served, cooked in the army, and he doesn't speak or write that way, nor does my stepfather (CPO). 2 grandfathers, both Colonels, demanded proper grammar and etiquette. Maybe that is old man stuff, but aren't you an oldie, too?
