Stop calling us Va Tech Berman. Everyone hates it.
I don’t hate it, and I’ve been a devout VaTech fan for nearly four decades. Maybe you need to get over your paper thin sensitivity. I can remember the days when Slippery Rock got their scores mentioned and VaTech didn’t. I don’t care about VPI, VT, VaTech, Vajenyatek, or whatever. At least we are now relevant. Grab a Kleenex and quit crying about something less than the ultimate in adulation. VaTech works just fine for adults…
