Post of the Week - TheSabre. When Virginia was voted number one in 1990, the atmosphere for the Georgia Tech game was electric. Shamoo the blimp was hovering overhead. When the captains took the field, the place went nuts. I've been to an FSU-UVa game in Tallahassee as well, and it wasn't any better.
Success breeds fan support.
It's never really been the other way around. While UVa may have a ways to go in reference to fan support, I'm still very proud of where it's gone. Now they talk, but it's in-between plays and quarters. People are actually there to watch the games. What's surprising is that Virginia football hasn't really done much since 1995, yet we keep breaking attendance records and season ticket sales figures.
