Of course it is... It's not northern, it's not eastern, it's not southern,

it's western... Shenandoah Valley is the most common local term but to describe where Harrisonburg is to someone not familiar with the state you couldn't accurately do so without using the term "western".

Like the defensive intensity showed by JY on BR in that video**
GretnaHokie • 06/08/23 09:01 AM ET
And that BR was able to knock down the shot**
hokieZ71 • 06/10/23 08:39 AM ET
I just wish claiming Harrisonburg, VA actually meant they were from H'burg

What the heck is that accent**
hokieinparadise • 06/08/23 01:21 AM ET
He can have whatever accent he wants if he gets on the court and dominates

Anti-UNCHEAT venacular**
SCHokie80 • 06/10/23 06:04 PM ET
The whole UNC cheat thing is such a tired narrative**
hokieinparadise • 06/10/23 10:11 PM ET
Since the shoe fits UNCheat, they need to wear it.**
Atlee Hokie • 06/14/23 01:00 AM ET
It’s ongoing & true though **
hokiepro • 06/11/23 08:21 AM ET
Probably but deserved with that snobbish fan base. **

If you blindfolded me, I’d say he was an African-American from Baltimore

As a connoisseur of western VA accents
st_andrew • 06/07/23 07:39 PM ET
Definitely country accent.**
LXNTN_HOKIE • 06/09/23 08:36 PM ET
It's not regional lol it's an accent he picked up in AAU**
SkoHokies • 06/08/23 10:03 AM ET
As someone who lives in SWVA, respectfully
uber hokie • 06/07/23 09:02 PM ET
What? Western is west of Blue Ridge
st_andrew • 06/09/23 06:27 AM ET
Exactly. Winchester to H'burg kind of Northwestern; Staunton, Lexington,
LXNTN_HOKIE • 06/09/23 08:48 PM ET
We do not consider anything east of Blacksburg as SWVA,,
HOKIE75-79 • 06/08/23 09:20 PM ET
You might not, but we consider SWVA to be from Roanoke/
RJHokie • 06/08/23 09:39 PM ET
Who's "WE"?**
RTFC • 06/21/23 01:28 AM ET
the border with NC is more SWVA than Roanoke..from Rural Retreat...
HOKIE75-79 • 06/09/23 07:36 AM ET
Yeah, the North Carolina line from the Galax area to Tennessee
RJHokie • 06/09/23 09:31 PM ET
Harrisonburg is home for me. WV is less than 30 minute drive. That's west.**
Bwaterhokie • 06/08/23 12:30 PM ET
Winchester is also 30 min from WV
GCHokie34 • 06/13/23 06:15 AM ET
Northwestern. Handley HS and James Wood HS are in the Northwestern
Femoyer Hokie • 06/13/23 08:48 AM ET
I don't know that district naming is a good indicator...
GCHokie34 • 06/13/23 09:28 AM ET
It’s northwest, not SW**
hokiepro • 06/08/23 07:09 PM ET
Nobody said it was southwest! **
st_andrew • 06/09/23 06:28 AM ET
Well WV is east of where I live so ? We’re talking about Harrisonburg
uber hokie • 06/08/23 03:18 PM ET
Yes it is, just isn't SW Va **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/08/23 08:07 AM ET
West relative to what?? Divide the length of Virginia in half
uber hokie • 06/08/23 03:22 PM ET
Always laugh when people in Richmond call it Central Virginia.
Hokester • 06/14/23 09:34 AM ET
Virginia is an odd shape to divide between east and west with the southern
LXNTN_HOKIE • 06/09/23 09:01 PM ET
Hard too with the SW panhandle **
VaTechHokiesACC • 06/09/23 12:14 AM ET
Of course it is... It's not northern, it's not eastern, it's not southern, ◄
BG Hokie • 06/08/23 07:38 AM ET
Explain why Southern VA University is located in Buena Vista? ;)
Old Line Hokie • 06/09/23 07:47 PM ET
Back in the day, the school was called Southern Seminary and was a 2-year
LXNTN_HOKIE • 06/09/23 08:18 PM ET
Just wondering....
Old Line Hokie • 06/09/23 11:45 PM ET
you said it "the Valley". Shenandoah Valley runs northeast-southwest along
HtownHokie • 06/08/23 05:08 PM ET
Exactly. Any way you slice it the Shenandoah Valley is definitely on the
LXNTN_HOKIE • 06/09/23 09:08 PM ET
Yes it is North and it is east. Look at a map. Virginia is shaped roughly
uber hokie • 06/08/23 03:24 PM ET
It may be well east and north of Lee County, but if you draw a line from
LXNTN_HOKIE • 06/09/23 09:17 PM ET
Harrisonburg is east yet 30 mins from West Virginia. Makes perfect sense!!!**
BG Hokie • 06/09/23 10:26 AM ET
Like taking I64 east from Va Beach toward Suffolk.**
IB4TECH • 06/09/23 09:25 PM ET
Really? By geometry, it's much more northern than it is western. Its
HokieEngineer • 06/08/23 08:28 AM ET
I'll say it's northwestern. Here in Lexington is western.**
LXNTN_HOKIE • 06/09/23 09:19 PM ET
Thank you! And if you include just the land mast part of the Delmarva
uber hokie • 06/08/23 03:34 PM ET
Far southwest and the eastern peninsula are aberations from the rest of the
LXNTN_HOKIE • 06/09/23 09:28 PM ET
It's fine with me....
vthokieq • 06/08/23 08:26 AM ET
Anything west of Charlottesville is "west"**
hokieinparadise • 06/08/23 01:21 AM ET
I agree.**
