A lot classier response from the official UVA baseball account:
They Mad
- Thread starter JacksonCPAdawg
- Start date
For sure.
Michigan State - Michigan
NC State - UNC
Clemson - SoCar
Auburn - Alabama
aTm - UT (okay, maybe the aggies are their own breed)
Va Tech - UVA
Lots of similarities in the way their fans act, and interact.
My built in assumption is that if we did, we keep his support. Seemed short sighted to me at the time. Who knows if that’s accurate…
There are some funny LG's out there that act like they're "embarrassed" of the moniker (I'll let y'all guess at a few of these) . .
Son probably wouldn't have played, but i bet it would have affected where daddy spent a lot of his time and money.
1) Is that the first time we have been mistaken for USM?
2). I have had Whole Foods potato salad and it's not that good. My Piggly Wiggly makes much better potato salad and you can get mustard, loaded or traditional.

For the two years he was there. I just think John is over Starkville and MSU.
I may be wrong.
I mean you may be right, but he clearly has a thing for UVA b/c of his son.
I hate it when mustard is the dominant flavor...it's like, we were too lazy to nutmeg, salt and pepper this *****, so we added extra mustard. Oh, and hope you like diced pickles.
Nepotism and buying your kid's way on to a team are not acts likely to be embraced by people with land-grant personalities.
I hope Oak can get him back on board because he is a fan to have. It is sad we let Polk piss him off.
Was it Polk or McMahon? Memory ain't what it used to be.
Any self respecting southerner only serves their mema/nana's homemade potato salad.
If someone brings some Kroger tater salad to the event Thursday night, please get a photo of it
I've been to Charlottesville once. The University campus is divided by a highway. Imagine half our campus is in the cotton district and the other half is around the football stadium
They think so much of baseball, their stadium is off campus to the north and down some side road a mile or so.
The school/town seemed like Hattiesburg or Tupelo.

I think we have his first nickname. Coach Brian "Tater Salad" O'Conner or Oak.
Think it was McMahon, also think it was him who didn't give Raffy's boy a walk on chance, then left for UF (SMH). you don't have to guarantee a starting spot, crap let'em sit on the bench.............Rafael-freakin-Palmeiro
Maybe we should give CBOC a nickname right off the bat.
aTm snobbery skyrocketed when they joined the SEC. A better match to State is Texas Tech. Tech people could parachute in to State and fit right in and vice versa.
That's exactly where my mind went. Classic.Maybe we should give CBOC a nickname right off the bat.
I know a guy that got a walk on spot under Mullen because his dad did his pool. If a kid's family has money, you find a spot.
It was MacMahon. Grisham signed with UVA in Jan. of 2001. Polk II didn't happen until 2002.
When did Brett Farvre play for us?was not aware we have a plastic stadium

Oak will regret this & I won’t have a scintilla of empathy for it. | TheSabre.com
Leaving iconic UVa for a plastic stadium that seats 5K more fans and a fanc...virginia.sportswar.com
pretty rich coming from the dump of stadium they have over there
It was McMahon. And it's absolutely the reason for the falling out with Grisham.
I personally think we should have found a way to get his kid on the team just for the pub that daddy brings, but I can certainly see the opposite side.
Definitely a terrible move on McMahon's part. All he needed was to wear the uniform and JG would've been happy.
For his money and the attention he could have brought, I damn sure would have let his kid play some midweek games when we were blowing out someone.
I like my tater salad like I like my guns and bases - loaded!
Look at it from this perspective. Think about how we felt when Vic left for Texas. O'Connor has been at UVA 4 times longer than Vic was here, has been much more successful, and does not have the 'going back home' excuse.
I'd be pretty butt hurt too if I was in their shoes.
