CHARLOTTESVILLE - Virginia Tech football coach Frank Beamer probably praised the ACC's Southern hospitality when he saw the league schedules for the next two seasons.

University of Virginia coach Al Groh might not have been as complimentary.

At the conclusion of its fall meeting, for which U.Va. served as host, the ACC yesterday released the scheduling models to be used in 2004-05 and 2005-06 for football, men's basketball and women's basketball.

..................Conspicuously absent from the Hokies' slate is perennial national power Florida State,....Virginia, meanwhile, will have to play Miami and FSU each season. The Cavaliers won't play Wake Forest - a team they have dominated for the past two decades

Same cupcake schedule,eh? Va. Tech has played Texas A&M and LSU in the recent past and given a pretty good account of themselves.(WON BOTH). I seem to recall they beat Clemson handily when the Tigers had Heismann- hopeful Woody Dantzler at the helm.... that "cupcake "comment must be from a writer with U.Va. credentials.

I heard Frank Beemer& Jerri Kilgure threatened to file another lawsuit if they had to play both Miami & FSU in the same season.

To abbreviate The University's name correctly, please use a lower case "a".

The player's don't play in the library, they study there. That's why they have a 70%+ graduation rate.

They will be playing the punks that wear the girly boy shade of blue down in Chapel Hole on Saturday.

Heh...reminds me of an old joke.

Hokie (on the Charlottesville campus): Can you tell me where the library's at?

Who: Suh, at Mistuh Jefferson's University we do not end our sentences with prepositions.

Hokie: Okay, where's the library at, @$$hole?

The latest joke was that a sportswriter described Scott Stadium during the previous game as "quiet as a library". The name has stuck now.

Chuckle-chuckle.

Good 'ol putupon can take a joke.

And no need for ya'll to worry about your ranking, you'll still be higher than us after you're beaten on turkey weekend, just like top 10 Maryland and NC State were after they had the living crapola whacked out of them last season by the Orange and Blue.


Go Hoo’s !!!
