why? other than beamer, what's so great about vpi? they were nothing before beamer so why do you assume they will be something after him... especially since they've started significantly sucking with him still there.
and thanks for so incredibly missing the point of me mentioning as me making fun of you for your blind allegiance to what vpi was. like with miami, things change. if they didn't, princeton will still be adding to it's lead as the team awarded the most football national championships in all of college football.
lastly, thanks for pointing out the north carolina football = mediocrity. the fact that i get to read about it daily wouldn't have possibly clued me in to that fact. or, taking your blind assumption that vpi will be teh awesome 4evah... with lawrence taylor on their roster - this unc team is a force that will need to be reckoned with (i could go duke/momentum from their rose bowl appearance if you'd prefer)
Ok, so would expect Florida or Duke (who was better this year) to be better in the long run? I got your point, but some programs have the pieces in place to sustain greater average success. Things change sometimes, but there's no reason to expect one now. VT now has a good tradition, a huge fanbase, good facilities. Maybe they won't be back, but odds are they will. Comparing that to Princeton is insane. But then and again maybe arguing about sports with TRE makes me the insane one
