There is a new upset champion.  Virginia, you can stay.

Virginia probably involved (in a bad way) in the 2 biggest upsets in College BB history.

Couldn't happen to a nicer bunch.

I learned to hate UVa fans at the 91 Sugar Bowl. Don't fizzle with Elvis. :dance:

My view is a bit more nuanced.  I have  a couple friends who went there, so I feel bad for them.

But yeah, I was at the 91 Sugar Bowl.  Elvis was one thing, but what pissed me off was their drunken fans chanting "it's great, to be, able to read" as a slam on our university and I guess the state of Tennessee.  I very nearly got in a fight after the game over that chant.  Of course, the 6+ hurricanes I drank during the game didn't help much.   :laugh:

They were incredibly classless and patronizing.  In fact, I have other friends who went to Virginia Tech and they have all kinds of stories about Virginia arrogance.

I still feel bad for my friends, but all the a-holes from 1991 can go to hell.   :naughty:

Virginia labels itself "the Princeton of the South". As others point out, Princeton has never labeled itself as "the Virginia of the North" :naughty:

They are still on a high and getting all the press. Going out on a limb and say they get beat pretty handily by K State tomorrow. That will make Viginne every more upset. :biggrin:

Agree, better than Virginia deserves.  I was also very impressed with UMBC coach who gave 100% credit to his players, while his players said Virginia had absolutely nothing they had not prepared for in practice this week, including everything they worked on to negate UVa defense.
