Hokies For Al Groh!

Hokies Unite!!!!

Hokie Nation must bond together during these trying times to ensure Albert M. Groh II continues as the fearless architect of the vaunted University of Virginia Cavaliers.  There are some reckless rumors floating around Central Virginia casting doubt about the greatest college football recruiter’s future at his alma mater. Wahoo Nation’s lack of confidence in II must be remedied. 

So Albert hasn’t won an ACC championship, or a BCS Game, or gotten to a BCS game for that matter.  How can you not get behind a 25-23 ACC record or an overall record of 43-34?  For goodness sakes, do Wahoos realize they only paid $357,000 per win in 2006? What more could they want?  And do Cav fans realize how expensive it gets if Groh should actually get their team into the top 20 by season end? Do they realize how much soccer and lacrosse equipment up to $150,000 would buy? And Heaven forbid if Al Groh lands in the top 5!  Where will they find $275,000?  Certainly, Wahoo fans would reconsider their vitriol if only they knew Al Groh’s 2007 buyout was $5,400,000!

Surely Hokies in the fashion industry must know what a great loss Al Groh would be.  Without his presence on the Cavalier sideline, certainly the fanny pack would have died an ignominious death by now.  Ever the trend setter, Groh set the mark of high fashion for being the first to tuck his sweatshirt into his pants.

And let us not forget Groh also set the bar for multi-cultural sensitivity and stilled our fear of flying after 9/11 when he remarked, "I'm not saying this to make light of it by any means, but I'm not planning on having Arabs in the traveling party, so therefore I think probably that the threat of our being hijacked is pretty remote."

Where would Virginia Tech be if we had to share the Tidewater high school recruiting area with The University of Virginia? For that mind-boggling generosity alone, we must stand behind the courageous manager of the ‘Hoos.

So Hokies, we must UNITE! Al needs our help. Let’s not encourage our ACC brethren in Charlottesville to wear their new black market “Groh Must Go” tee shirts. We can’t let them visit dangerous, thought provoking web sites like Don't Fire Al Groh or Groh's Gotta Go.
