Towards the end of Virginia’s win against Pittsburgh on Saturday night, some of my friends started puffing out their chests on our UVA group text.
My friend Chris called it a “statement game”.
My friend Brian sent out a picture of a bowl full of fruit.
My friend Adam was confused about the fruit until Brian noted: “It’s a bowl of oranges. Get it? Orange Bowl.”
It was that kind of night.
Virginia indeed made a statement by beating the defending ACC Coastal champs on their home field. That “choo choo” sound you hear?
