If it makes you feel better, singing a ripped off version of Auld Lang Syne on a Saturday in October is troublesome anywhere too.

Thanks! I do feel better!

I grew up near there, some of my family played football there, I'm a huge fan, etc.

from what i gather.. there is more hatred of uva from tech than uva toward tech.

its part of that "even though your sports teams are better, yall couldn't get into virginia" attitude.

[hokiefan]

I wouldn't worry about it that much, the hatred doesn't seem to be close to Ohio St/Michigan or Duke/UNC.

It makes sense there wouldn't be as much hatred. If I were UVA, I would pretend not to care given that Virginia Tech dominates in football and swept them in basketball.

I'm very conflicted about my law school choice. I grew up in Blacksburg, attended every home football game for 14 straight years and have been a Tech fan my whole life. Now I'm most likely going to attend UVA; how can I live with myself?

For the record, most of my friends that went to VT and attended UVA for post-grad work never had a problem with it.

That attitude always makes me eyes roll...

[hokiefan]

I was mostly kidding about being conflicted about going to UVA, just wanted to take a jab at UVA athletics. I was elated to be accepted to Virginia and was strongly considering applying Early Decision.

All of the Hokies and Wahoos I know harbor very little ill will toward each other's institutions. The feelings were more akin to a sibling rivalry than a blood feud.

[hokiefan]

I would agree completely.

Saw someone from Georgia joined the UVa Facebook group and got all excited but it wasn't Guy. Unless Guy has an oddly spelled feminine first name.

Cosign. The second sentence is, of course, crap- but people say it nonetheless.

Have any other EDers besides greygoose received a letter?

Have any West Coasters received a letter?

Darn it darn it darn it I'm really hoping the lack of a letter is the product of being 2,500 miles from Charlottesville

[gladiator]

Bilko said he got a letter saying he wouldn't be getting a scholarship so it appears you'll be getting something in the mail either way.

I went to SCOTUS oral argument yesterday morning as a guest of the UVA SCOTUS advocacy clinic, whose case was being argued...here's info about the case & what went down: --LinkRemoved--

Some funny comments from the justices, for sure.

SCOTUS is even more fun to type and say than POTUS.

rabbit that sounds awesome. How did you find out about that opportunity?

Prof. Ortiz hosted the reception at the end of the ASD; he seems like a cool guy.

thanks gladiator thats a big relief (I hope bilko wasn't being facetious).

I hear Ortiz is supposed to be brilliant.

Dan Ortiz, who is the one who called to offer me the Dillard Scholarship (full tuition & fees), told me that he had an extra ticket to the argument and offered to put my name on the reserved-seating list. Very generous of him - it was awesome.

[Da Stain]

I wish I was! My roommate said there's a letter from UVa (I'm in la for another hour) so I said open it figuring they wouldnt send a letter otherwise.

basically it said you rolled a seven. But well let you know after April 30 if we have some scraps

Fortunately I have an hour layover in Vegas tongiht so I'm gonna go win me some damn merit aid!!

and rabbit, that sounds positively awesome. Ill read over the link in between slot pulls

"There are all kinds of nuts who can get 90 percent on the bar exam," Kennedy said.

[OldBlue]

rabbit that's awesome. You should definitely attach a thank-you note to your seat acceptance card

bilko - sorry man. Don't play slots - that's for little old ladies. See if they have craps in the airport.

Save some of your winnings for green fees come august (that was you on the forum, right?)

[Da Stain]

Indeed it was! We have a frickin golf course, how sweet is that?

Scalia's comment was really good too.

[OldBlue]

holy crap $16 after 3:30!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

nevermind about squirreling money away

[Holly Madison]

Hey all. I am a crossover from LSD. I've never really looked around over here, but it seems like there is a lot more UVa love! I will probably be attending in the fall.

All that prep talk gets me so excited!! I live in sundresses when it's not brutally cold!!
