Boy, do I ever remember Wilder! He completely ruined the career of Chuck Robb, although Robb helped him do it. While I was glad to see Robb out of politics, I didn't like the way it happened. Wilder was one nasty man. He had his eye on national office. I'm glad his character was revealed--and kept--in Virginia.

I would not assume that "rednecks" filled the football at VA in the early 70's. At that time, football players mostly had to have the same qualifications for admittance that other students had to have. And they got few concessions once they were there. I don't remember the football team having a winning year while I was there. Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. The running joke was always that the only way our football could win was to have both teams take the SAT and the winner would have the higher scores.
