We all know that guy. You know what I’m talking about. That guy, who is trying desperately to make up for his own insecurities. He wears a tie to “suit up” at casual affairs and outdress the “competition.” He constantly cracks jokes around women for the attention. He always “selling” himself. He talks about the popular kids behind their back, slowly cutting them down in the eyes of others because he’s jealous.  The guy that’s at the gym pissed off that he has chicken leg calf muscles. We’ve all met a guy like that.

Welcome to the latest post at From Old Virginia, which has something to do about biting a lip and sitting down. Talk about joining the game a bit late when it comes to taking potshots at the FSU Academic Scandal and the FSU Football team.

Boys, boys, boys your I’m-A-Virginia-Cavalier-And-We’re-Better-Than-You-Really inferiority complex is leaking through into your blog. Yes, I know it’s tough having Al Groh as your coach, which gives you a glimmer of ACC hope each season (by hope I mean being perennial Meineke Car Care Bowl contenders), but lets face it, you’re the Virginia Cavaliers. Remember, you couldn’t qualify for a bowl game in a year that included 10 of 12 ACC teams at bowl games. It’s you and Duke, Cavs, and Duke is getting better quickly. Fifty years from now the fan base will still be living through the fact that they handed FSU their first ACC loss. Forget about the fact that the overall record is so lopsided (13 wins, 2 losses for the Noles). Forget about the fact that FSU joining the ACC led to the ACC schools’ spending of cash on it’s sad little football conference. No, just forget about all of that and thump your chest about the Noles long after the point of relevancy. By the way how’s Peter Lalich doing? He was one of those upstanding young Cavaliers, right?

Back to the FSU Acadmic problems. I’m on the record, numerous times, about how FSU should really just give up this appeal process. The garnet colored glasses version of the appeal is that FSU is fighting for Track Championships. I think FSU fans really know that’s about one man, Bobby Bowden. Whether that’s right or wrong is up to the individual fan, but the wasting of Booster money on attorneys cemented my position long ago. It’s not your point that I think is bad, it’s how and when you’re trying to make it FOV. It comes across as the nerd in glass kicking the bully after the other kids beat him up first.

The final thought of the article sums up the blinding insecurity going on at FOV:

Is it any wonder why the rest of the ACC hopes the next winless season the Seminoles churn out is fully earned on the field, and not the last?

Virginia fans and the rest should remember one thing; they don’t schedule Virginia on Labor Day for a national audience, because NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOU.
