Cuse, that’s funny. And you are right, UNC has better basketball teams. However, UVA’s football team is 4-1 against UNC over the last 5 seasons and 7-3 over the last 10 so at least in terms of head to head competition, UVA has the edge in football. That said, I do think UNC fans are far more sports focused in general than at UVA.



UVa may have a head-to-head football edge over UNC (although that appears to be slipping, given UNC’s 44-10 win at UVa last year), but UNC’s football program is clearly the more successful of the two. Look at the records for the past three years; UVA went 5-7, 3-9, 4-8 while UNC went 8-5 each year. Also, attendance figures put UNC slightly ahead of UVA; UNC averaged 56,000 people per home game in 2010, while UVA averaged just under 50,000.

Still, you can’t go wrong either way. UVa and UNC are both great, great schools and both have rich academic and athletic traditions.
