Even with the two shutouts VT pitched towards the end of the season, they're still 44th nationally in scoring defense and 42nd in total defense. UVA is 41st and 27th.

Anyone buying ob tickets? These are cheapest you'll find.

I was planning to go and needed 4. Assuming we make it in. These are by far the best prices out there. Can you elaborate on these. I'm assuming they're legit. Thanks for posting!

I've mentioned elsewhere, but I met my wife at UF (specifically, playing wingman at The Porpoise), and she did grad school at UVA. One of her grad friends is also from Florida, did undergrad at UF and grad at UVA. So for those two, and our respective families, there'd be some rooting interests at play (I enjoy giving the both a hard time, would be relentless in this matchup, and generally root for them in other games). I fully expect we'd pound them.
I suppose I got lucky then (hell, she loves football and the Gators, I know I got lucky). But the wife and her grad friends, all pretty cool people in general. None of them did undergrad there, if that makes a difference. After grad school, we lived in Ohio ('nother story) and became very good friends with a couple who went to VT. We still see eachother every year or so. Very grounded and good people through and through. I'll cheer for VT in other games as well, and I still like Beamer (despite him being long gone from coaching).
Wife and I went through just to check it out late this summer. I very much agree with this assessment. Chill place to be.
Yeah, I really doubt we get a UF-UVA matchup. It's simply a killing with no point to it. A matchup with VT or WF doesn't have much more weight, but I agree it's wholly up to the OB on who they want to bring in when UVA falls out of the rankings (and they will, I don't doubt it).

Yes; grad school folks are different than the ones who went there for undergrad. And I agree it's not all of them - just a significant majority!
If we go to the OB it really won't matter which ACC team we play. Other than Clemson they are all pretty bad. UVa barely beat FSU. And they are better than either VT or WF this year. A pitiful conference this year to be sure.

I prefer the O B. More fun, fewer worries. If we are still recruiting 2020 or if not our 2021 recruits will be more aware of it
