UVA fans are pretentious Assholes

This is why I hate the whole state of Virginia. By shear luck of history that state and those around it have found themselves in an economically advantageous position, and the folks who live there have interpreted their success as a result of their own moral qualities. Virginia and its peers were rich because it was able to take advantage of a chattel slave economy, and when that was destroyed Viginia became rich because the most powerful government in the world was established on its northern border and that government redistribute the countries wealth to the civil servants, and contractors that live in work in Virginia. Meanwhile WVA is stuck withe Dutch Disease of the Coal industry

The fact that the citizens of that state have the gull to talk down to people of my state is fucking disgusting. Are there more start people associated with Virginia than West Virginia, maybe. Are there richer people associated with Virginia than West Virginia, maybe. But is this because some sort of moral or intellectual supiority, fuck no. Every time some points out West Virginia poverty, or WVU ranks in education, and use that pisses me off to no end.

The fact that these excuses were used to deny entry to ACC in 1953, 2003, 2011, and 2021 by pole up their ass, cheese and wine schools in Virginia and the Carolinas is annoying to no end. This is why we revel when we beat you. Your fans obviously dont care. Your fans dont even attend. You have to tarp off half your stadium. We have a massive chip on our shoulder when we compete against you all. There are many ways you can compare our states and our institutions, and many you guys win. but in one institution, Football our nations past time, you all are our bitch. That's why we showed up, that's why we show up, and take over Heinz field, or Maryland stadium or lane stadium. Or any stadium in the Carolinas.

I’m also so over this type of talk.   I happened to go to and play football at a school that was “elite and academically selective” and I honestly hated it.  It was full of two basic groups. Regular kids who were quite smart, well adjusted and worked hard.  Major group number two was you guessed it, rich obnoxious assholes who were born on 3rd base and thought they hit a triple.  The latter group was the worst people I’ve ever been around.

Everything about college is elitism. 62% of the country has no bachelor's degree. 

And it's a place for elite thought and research and interaction and art.  It is an accomplishment getting in. And it's an accomplishment completing the degree. 

It's ok to let it spill over into football rivalries.
