I'll quote former VT Athletic David Braine in an interview he did with Will:

Will: I think that’s embodied by Bill Brill’s statement that VT would never win an ACC Championship in any sport in his lifetime.

David Braine: Bill Brill hated Virginia Tech.  And if he was alive today and sitting right there, I’d say the same thing.  He was so cruel to us the whole time I was here.  Vindictive, almost.  Just because somebody mistreated him once or twice, he held a grudge against Virginia Tech, I guess.  I always heard that when he was a young buck reporter there were times that he wasn’t treated well, and he always held that against Tech.

While I agree with your sentiments, Brill didn't let it go so why should we? I hope he is stuck watching replays of all of Techs wins over uva and duke.
