And who exactly are VT's impressive wins?
I'm not saying they have any...I'm just saying UVA is fluffed.

That's fine. If UVA is fluffed, VT is extra-fluffed. I dont know what the term for super fluffed is.

Look at these great wins:
FCS App State
5-6 ECU
9-2 Arkansas State (that’s in the Sunbelt, nice record though)
5-6 Marshall
6-5 Miami
6-5 Wake Forest
3-8 Boston College
3-8 Duke
8-3 Georgia Tech
6-5 North Carolina

Real murderer's row there.

Dude, I only posted that UVA was fluffed because someone talked about VT having an easier schedule. I could care less about what VT's schedule is this year. They don't have to prove anything to me. Beating UVA for like the past 7 or 8 years is enough for me to be convinced that they will win again this year. UVA is the team that has something to prove. There is nothing about them that proves to me they are good enough to beat VT.

Give him time he will change his mind. Then change it back again before finally clarifying the original thought which changed his mind.
Because he is a duke AND VT fan!

I'm a Duke fan and VT supporter, but I'm not really a VT fan. The only school that I think is more overrated than Tech at every sport is UVA. I support VT because of what they do for 4-H (I was in 4-H for 13 years).

Baseball? Really? Do you pay attention to college baseball? I don't think anyone here has listed basketball or football as their strengths right now, although football is getting better.

Football hasn't been ranked since 2007. They're currently #24/25 at 8-3 with wins over FSU and GT. I wouldn't say that's overrated.
When was the last time the basketball team was ranked? I can't even remember.
They are 2 time defending ACC champs and made the CWS last year and won 2 games. Hard to say a team that did that is overrated.

+1. Though there's a poster here who is about to persuade me to join my dear wife in rooting for UVa this week.

First off, being ranked isn't a real result. LU is still ranked after only having one legit win the whole season. I don't ever buy into rankings. The ACC is completely overrated. I said at the start of the season that FSU would be lucky to finish with 9 wins. GT has done better than most people predicted but they're still terrible and they'll get blown out this weekend. UVA = no impressive wins. They're best non-conference win is against Indiana...they're 1-10 and lost to North Texas. UVA only won that game by three btw.

The basketball team hasn't been ranked, however, the majority of UVA fans or a certain ACC blogger predicted them to finish with around 20 wins and be a bubble team. Yet, UVA ended the season 16-15...

Baseball - Sure, caught the ACC in a down year and found a way to win the conference. Looked really impressive during regionals and super-regionals then fell apart in the CWS. UVA was ranked 1st for almost the entire year. They're baseball team is at least getting close to where they should be but they're still falling short.

Then who exactly are they overrated by? Preseason coaches' polls?

They were picked to finish 5th out of 6 in the Coastal. They can finish no worse than 2nd.
They were picked to finish 11th last year in basketball. They finished tied for 7th.

There is no point engaging this guy, Manson. He is insanely unreasonble.

Umm, UVA fans? and ESPN bloggers? I really don't care where they finish in the ACC...Duke finished like fourth a couple of years ago in the Coastal. The ACC is a joke. You can finish 2nd in the ACC and that's fine...but you're not an accomplished football team.

As far as basketball...again same thing. After the top five, the ACC was terrible last year. Sure, they surpassed their "ACC predictions." That doesn't mean that they aren't overrated. Duke consistently wins the conference when they're picked to finish 2nd or 3rd, yet, we're almost always overrated.

Since 2001,2002 we've been consistently overrated. We found a way to win the championship in 2010, a year when college basketball's finest were having a really down year. Before that and including last year, we've been earlier than expected exits in the tourney. I love Coach K and Duke basketball but we get a little too much love from the NCAA, ESPN...etc.

bob a lot of people pay attention to college baseball. probably more than you think, and once LU finally becomes a factor im sure you will too. lets swing this back to what the thread is about possibility of playing VT. it would be good for the program plain and simple. Manson and everyone else do your self a favor and foe sweat. it will make your FF experience much better though i wish you wouldnt have quoted what he said. overrated in baseball? right 2 CWS appearances in the last 3 years, 2 ACC titles in the past three years in arguably one of the top baseball conferences. football sure they have sucked since 2008. this year since Rocco became the FT starter they have played very well. They have improved every week.That is no fluke. Basketball a non factor since 07, the last year they made the dance. so football and basketball certainly have not been overrated but irrelevant. sweat is a VT football fan and a duke hoops fan. do you need to hear anything else? I will agree with him on one thing, The ACC is the second to last BCS football conference. it is simply average so when a VT fan talks about the BCS and how great they are, i will say you play in the ACC and 1-4 BCS record....dont stick out your chest too much! i took it off topic!! sorry guys. carry on!

it's funny...i knew once i started posting facts...i would get foed. so, i guess if i don't want to get foed, i should just start being homers like everyone else. i guess i should just ignore facts and history, but rely on fake results. it's funny how most of the people on here probably claim to be conservative, yet think and act like liberals.
