Keeping it simple.

Last yr was the worst Hokie team I've seen take the field since....well... a very long time. Decades. The 1900s. We were horrible!

Last year was the best Hoo team UVA has had in..well… decade + or so.

And still they didn't beat us!
We are expected to be better than last year. They should not be better than last year. Actually, they should fall off a bit.

That simple.

Why would a team in decline that lost last yr, beat a team in ascendency that won last year?
UVA reminds me of a Ray Charles tune:


I've gotten down to my last pair of shoes
Can't even win a nickel bet
Because, ah them that's got are them that gets
And I ain't got nothin' yet
I'm sneakin' in and out duckin' my landlord
All I seem to do is stay in debt
Because, ah them that's got (yeah) are them that gets
And I tell you all I ain't got nothin' yet
That old sayin' them that's got are them that gets
Is somethin' I can't see
If ya gotta have somethin'
Before you can get somethin'
How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me
I see folk with long cars and fine clothes
That's why they're called the smarter set
Because they manage to get
When only them that's got supposed to get
And I ain't got nothin' yet
That old sayin' them that's got are them that gets
Is somethin' I can't see
If ya gotta have somethin'
Before you can get somethin'
How do ya get your first is still a mystery to me
I see folk with long cars and fine clothes
That's why they're called the smarter set
Because they manage to get
When only them that's got supposed to get
And I ain't got nothin' yet
Whoa, I tell you all
I ain't found nothing yet.
You know I just don't understand it
I can't seem to get a nickle or a dime for a cup of coffee
I need a hamburg- in fact a hot dog wouldn't be too bad
I would just be grateful if I could get my hands on most anything
