Re: Funny?
ccujacket sums it up, they are a better fit in the SEC, but I'd rather have most any SEC school.
Academically, they are like the SEC. VPI, and not UVa, is the large State U. for the masses in Virginia. Unlike most SEC schools, however, they have no athletic tradition. Their football success is recent, and will be gone when Beamer retires, if not sooner, due to Groh's recruiting.
VPI brings NOTHING to the table, except bad press. People WILL confuse that Tech with this Tech, which will only erode our reputation.
VPI in the ACC is sickening.
