In the 1980s a G5 (BYU) won the national title and a player from I-AA (Gordie Lockbaum of Holy Cross) was a Heisman finalist.
Don't act like that time period only saw elite, conference-winning teams make major bowl games. Virginia finished with three regular season losses and finished third in the ACC in 1990 and still played in the Sugar Bowl.
We were a top 10 team in 2014 and absolutely belonged in the Orange Bowl. We get it: you hate Paul Johnson. But quit trying to öööö on that team. You only look like a damn fool when you do.
Being a new yawker , you would certainly know about being a fool.
So please explain how getting an Orange Bowl invite in the the 90s being more difficult than getting one now has anything to do with “hating” CPJ? You are totally oblivious to the simple fact there were fewer bowls then for starters.
Uvag in sugar? Yeah, that helped change the system due to closed door agreements made before end of the season.
Who said a single word about us not belonging in the OB for the 2014 season?
Stop loving on your CPJ blowup doll more than you love GT.
