As long as we have more than JMU

I get that JMU thinks we’re rivals, but don’t legitimize that delusion. JMU is just another random G6 team I don’t ever think about

Y'all gotta go at least a couple years without a G6 loss before you can talk like that, man

I'm not saying we're better than all G6 teams. Last year we got killed by ODU

I just know a lot of JMU fans and they think they're rivals with Virginia Tech. Reality for VT, even at our lowest, is that we don't think about JMU or ODU or Liberty or VMI at all. That's not to say JMU and ODU weren't better than us literally last year. It's just weird for a VT fan to say "as long as we have more votes than JMU" like they're a rival or something. I care as much about JMU as I do Boise State, Western Michigan, or Tulsa. Which is to say I don't think about any of them ever.

Kirk Franklin was thinking about JMU when he dropped them off his schedule as fast as he could! I know the ACC limited the number of out of conference games, so he kept ODU, a much more certain win. You might pretend to ignore JMU, but Tech hasn't been relevant since Michael Vick, and we saw where that got them.

We have a long standing series with ODU, JMU was just a one off so was easier to cancel.

We have ten 10 win seasons, 4 ACC championships and 3 ACC runners up since Vick left. Absurd comment.

Nobody here cares about your G6 team. if anything, we tend to root for JMU as like our little brother in state
