That day was very important, ... We were 0-2 and going against a good football team. Miami, for the past 10 to 15 years, had been the premier team in college football. To be able to beat them that day jump-started our program a little bit.
best football hate pride program quite turn work
We take pride in our program in doing things right . . . just too many things that weren't quite right, ... I hate to see anyone's story here not be successful.

against competing country five games night people playing recruiting thursday time tremendous
I think the Thursday night games have been really big in our development because it's the whole country watching, not just people in Virginia, ... I think they're big. If you can play well, they're a tremendous recruiting advantage. If you're playing on Saturday, you're competing against five games in your time slot. If you're playing on Thursday night, there's not much else on TV.
