Wa-hoo-wa!

LAG sent me this via email. I thought I'd share...

"Just about every other school in Virginia likes to bash UVA kids for being 'pretentious' and 'snobs.' In other words, they get called out for thinking they're better than everyone else. Well, if you went to the school in Virginia with the most stringent admissions requirements, best overall athletic program, most beautiful campus and coeds, most successful and famous alumni, the most storied social scene, was founded by Thomas Jefferson, and all that happened to be in what was voted the #1 city to live in America, well you'd think you were the shit too."

- ESPN's review of college campuses.

Wow, still recovering from that, "best overall athletic program" nonsense. Not that it isn't true. But can the basketball team PLEASE not play in the NIT sometime soon?

Thanks.

hoo ra ray hoo ra ray ray ray uva!

c'mon, we're all snobs, and not because of the crappy (choking) athletic department.

got an invitation to some silly event at the UVA club the other day -- yeah, as if i'm gonna shell out $60 buckaroonies to hear us self-promote ourselves!

Isn't this only in relation to other Virginia schools? ;-)

immike -- i was thinking about going to W&M! i didn't even imagine that so many of your classmates were bitter about not attending UVa. does that make me a reverse W&M jealous person?

but anyway, it was undergrad, i agree with the "good education anywhere." like people even notice that anymore.
