🏈 2024/25 Virginia Football Off-Season Thread

Maybe so, but I still haven’t forgiven him for his stupid unnecessary roughness penalty that derailed what could have been the game-winning drive in our 1995 loss in Chapel Hill. And, yes, I can hold a grudge for 30 years against somebody I never met. I’m Irish. Sue me.

Ha. I was only saying this is huge surprise for me

My grandfather, a Chapel Hill alum, made a $10 bet with me, still a student in Charlottesville at the time, for that game.

He framed that $10 bill with an engraved plate with the game score and the bet, and hung it in his library for 12 years. So yeah, I’m still salty, too.

You should have bet your granddad double or nothing on the next year’s game in Scott. Antwan Harris FTW!

At the Hardie Center, Elliott met with media members Wednesday afternoon to discuss the transfer class. Before taking questions, however, Elliott noted that the generous support of donors gave the Cavaliers significantly more NIL resources than in previous years and enabled them “to get into some conversations that we may not have been able to get into before.”

I am generally supportive of talking about how deep our pockets are in this current era of college sports. I do like the idea of TE going “before we take any questions, let me tell you how rich we are now”

Scott Stadium looks beautiful right now. Too bad we’ll probably never see a snow game in Charlottesville. :frowning_face:

Grand Minimum is upon us. We see snow game within 4 years at Scott

It’ll happen later in 2025 (may as well include the freak snowstorm in this prediction)

Hmmm… I like the over here.

Not as a belief in our coaching staff or anything, but 6 wins should be very doable?

Vegas doesn’t think much of our coaching staff if they think with an easier schedule and more talent we can’t manage one more win. I don’t think much of our coaching staff and am fairly pessimistic but even I think we can manage one more win!

Just curious how accurate those have been last 2 years?

Typically within a half game one way or the other.

I think last yr the official line was 4.5 or 5.5
The yr before it was 3.5.

Hoos won 5 and 3 games in those seasons

Yeah always pretty close for us. I feel like we’ve had a 5.5 or 6.5 for decades.

Looks like the juice is on the over, so bettors seem to like us.

Honestly that 5.5-6.5 line is a safe bet for the majority of programs. Theres a few of the blue bloods who need it higher and a cple bottom dwellers who need it lower. But most teams reaching 6 or 7 wins is the difference maker

Oh totally agree, just not sure we’re not a bottom dweller lol
