This afternoon, my UVa friends spouted off some lively email discussion regarding our team’s upcoming Music City Bowl game against Minnesota on December 30. (Since this is a family-friendly site, I’ll do no cutting nor pasting)
This article in the Minneapolis newspaper belittling Virginia was the catalyst for the 30 or so emails we bounced around the internet today.
Several of us also emailed the journalist — some more civil than others — after reading this quote:
“As a program, Virginia is like the change between the cushions of a couch: It’s always there, but unless you look, you wouldn’t really see it.”
Ouch. 
We know our team didn’t have the best season possible. At 6-5 the ‘Hoos barely qualified for any bowl. Ironically, after berating this yankee journalist for a while, the discussion turned toward bashing Virginia ourselves.
I had to remind them that I’ve been back in Kentucky for 4 1/2 years now. I’ve attended a few UK football games and many a tailgate.
No matter how bad my boys think UVa has it on the gridiron, we are a smashing success compared with the home team here in Lexington.
Please note the level to which the face value on some UK football tickets has plummeted.
Case closed.
