Hi gurlinthesticks,
I remember reading a neat article in the USA Today paper last fall about the rivalry....I looked it up and thought I would share it with you. I also showed it to my soon to be Hokie s, who like you was totally in the dark about the VT vs. UVA rivalry....(up until now he hasn't been a huge sports fan like his mom and dad!)
Good luck at UVA !
