Fuck, even Scotty Montgomery's team has 50 plus points and 630 yards In their first freaking game in his first year at ECU.
Big time win against Western Carolina. Lol
But ECU has been better than us for awhile now. Just reality
UVA football is in a similar situation as Wake hoops. UVA is traditionally a football school. They've only been good in hoops in the 1980s and 2010s. And most UVA folks historically would acknowledge being more into football than hoops (and frankly, the fan base is much more knowledgeable on football than hoops). But this is what 2 successive bad football coaches will do for you. Groh actually started out okay, but then his abrasiveness, amongst other things, pissed off VA HS coaches, and in his last few years, he couldn't recruit the state of VA (which is a pretty good state for recruiting). And London didn't recruit the state that well, and he was probably the worst clock manager I've ever seen. Mendenhall is a really good football coach and did great things at BYU. But he took over a total shite program with little talent to work with. It'll take a few years to get back on track, and I don't know that they will get back on track. Add to that ODU has moved to 1A and will be vying for some of those top 30 VA recruits along with Tech, UVA and UNC and will probably entice some of those 757 folks to stay close to home. UVA and Mendenhall have a tough row to hoe. I'm not sure if either Wake hoops or UVA football will ever get back to where they were.

UVA hoops wasn't good in the 90s? They had the Staplegun!
Wellman had the chance to hire Rocco and fucked it up.
