Can VT establish some rivalry with UNC?
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 02:07 PM ET
Annual Bass Tournament on Kerr Lake! Straddles the border.

They want no piece of that!!! :-)**

Tech is *12-4 against UNC, which is why John Skipper talks about brand MJ,
Stech • 05/12/25 06:24 PM ET
*14-5 since joining the ACC.**

~Same winning percentage ~75% but I did miss a couple of games.**
Stech • 05/13/25 03:32 PM ET
UNC doesn't care about us **
VaTechHokiesACC • 05/11/25 09:08 PM ET
If UNC had it their way, VT would never have been invited to the ACC, and-
Baltimore_Hokie • 05/12/25 12:43 PM ET
They've been POed at VT since we hired Bill Dooley away from them.
EDGEMAN • 05/13/25 03:31 AM ET
They also got players like Lawrence Taylor and Ronald Curry out of the 757.
Stech • 05/14/25 08:48 AM ET
Turn 460 into an "Interstate" like highway. That should solve it.**
EDGEMAN • 05/14/25 08:57 AM ET
They see us as a more rural version of The Wolfpack...or at least viewed us

VTCALS72 • 05/12/25 07:39 AM ET
I know. But it’s all business. We should make the most of the situation.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:41 PM ET
Whoring ourselves out isn't going to get us an invite.**
saret • 05/11/25 05:19 PM ET
Doing nothing won’t get us anywhere. VT is not in a strong position.

Do you have evidence beyond coincident timing
Pylons • 05/11/25 11:42 PM ET
I don't think the joint school partnership had anything to do with...
EDGEMAN • 05/12/25 09:02 AM ET
And from WF’s president
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:52 PM ET
Yeah, I'm good with my opinion.
Pylons • 05/12/25 12:05 AM ET
Not much as far as I remember. VT doesn’t need WF once it joined the ACC. **
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:18 AM ET
So you want me to believe only part of the WF president's statement. 👍
Pylons • 05/12/25 09:40 AM ET
Evidence

"So we will dip into speculation and 'sources say' here"
Pylons • 05/11/25 11:59 PM ET
Believe what you want.

Relationships matter & yes academic relationships effect athletic
Stech • 05/12/25 08:33 AM ET
Academic relationships have virtually no effect on athletic relationships.
marcbvtgm • 05/12/25 09:50 PM ET
I love your passion, but that’s not what I have experienced, granted it’s
Stech • 05/12/25 10:45 PM ET
Yeah. like everything else, it’s all about money and relationships.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:48 PM ET
It takes 2 to tango....
1947Sunbowl • 05/11/25 04:05 PM ET
True. I bet they wouldn’t mind VT fans filling their stadium, though.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:36 PM ET
No not really
1947Sunbowl • 05/12/25 07:32 AM ET
Oh I don’t disagree.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:42 PM ET
It could develop, but I don't think you can really manufacture it
Pylons • 05/11/25 02:21 PM ET
We don’t need a heated rivalry—just enough connection to ensure UNC doesn’t
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:33 PM ET
If UNC gets a P2 invite, they won't be in the business
Pylons • 05/11/25 11:45 PM ET
Then why doesn’t anyone mention the UNC-VT pair as a P2 target?**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:40 AM ET
Who cares?
Pylons • 05/12/25 09:49 AM ET
That doesn’t answer the question.
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 12:34 PM ET
Ignore the great majority is definitely my primary answer.
Pylons • 05/12/25 01:27 PM ET
Got it. I didn’t think you’d actually ignore journalists’ articles, but you
RandomAsianGuy • 05/12/25 05:55 PM ET
UNC has/had NO INTEREST.....
2hhoop3 • 05/11/25 02:20 PM ET
You’re probably right. That doesn’t mean VT shouldn’t try, though.**
RandomAsianGuy • 05/11/25 11:39 PM ET
UNC for decades has wanted to recruit Va HS football & basketball, in ftbal
