George took it on the chin for years by the end of his tenure, mostly for


Overly conservative play calling.

I don’t get bent out of shape over it. While I thoroughly enjoyed our 3 weeks as the top ranked team in the country, I think that’s largely the best we can hope for. I don’t think we’ll invest all that it takes to be Alabama or Clemson. I think we’ll have brilliant flashes once in a blue moon, and otherwise be a mid-Dec bowl team at best most of the time. We’ll blame coach after coach after coach, but a coach can’t dictate our investments vs the constantly elite. On top of that, a kid looking to cash in on his celebrity isn’t choosing UVa over Clemson anymore than he would Stanford over Ohio St.

My first love is UVa hoops - that’s what really drives me to distraction. Maybe above all other teams I root for. And I love our usual competitiveness in baseball, soccer, and lax too. Football - I just don’t want to go decades at a time without beating VT. Beyond that’s it’s all gravy to me.
