Coach London and staff invade Hokie Country!!

The meet and greet with new UVA football coach Mike London was well worth the time! He had his entire staff on hand to answer questions, a far cry from the single voice philosophy of the previous regime! His enthusiasm is infectious, his charisma obvious, and his coaching staff exudes confidence. He covered everything from uniforms to changing the current locker room culture. The crowd was enthusiastic but, as usual, the subject of the evil empire located in Blacksburg was the pink elephant in the room. The first question asked was when will victory against VT be possible......a great question and right now for many loyal HOO supporters...the only question!

This question was a perfect one for London to handle and he chose only to say that this team would compete and he was very confident they would show up to play. Let's be honest - right now, if you beat VT, you win the ACC, plain and simple truth of the matter. I came out of tonight's meeting as energized and optimistic as I've been about Virginia football in many years. If these men impacted me that way, just think of how they will impact recruits!!
