We could win the national championship and FRS would make a thread the next day about how JMU and VCU fans are laughing at us, we won't win any games the next season, and should move to DIII. And its all because of those pesky northerners and the fact that our fan base consists entirely of civil war veterans. He either lacks a fundamental grip on reality or is a very dedicated troll.
"We have been on a downward spiral since we forwent our beloved "Spidey" and the university decided to remove the Baptists from the control of our BOT" -- Such is the lament of sufferers of a new disorder soon to be recognized in DSM-VI as Post Ante-Bellum Ante-Bellum Disorder ("PABABD).
In a recent study in the VAJOM, it was reported that external actions such as those pointed out in the grievance of its victims are now known to cause this PTSD-like malady, targeting primarily those born in or lifelong residents of our beloved Commonwealth. The symptoms are often manifest in uncontrollable and irrational outbursts much like those seen in those who suffer from Tourettes Syndrome. Such studies also suggest that personal awareness and comprehension of such behavior is beyond the grasp of those who suffer from this affliction, and that confrontation has little or no impact in a curative sense though it can cause them, much like a tortoise, to temporarily retreat back into their shell. The palliative impact is likely unremarkable...even, perhaps, painful. However, ignoring the symptoms has been shown to embolden the patient and propagate even more irrational outbursts. Sadly, the medical community is unanimous in concluding that no known cure is foreseeable.
The fact that admission standards have risen exponentially and the university has added more programs and richness to its curricula since the actions set forth in their expostulation of the sufferers does not appear to assuage the condition since the cause is perceived to be the result of an influx of northerners and the like.
This disorder is shared with a few others, though not manifested as naively as by FRS.
That said, FRS and his fellow sufferers are die-hard Spiders.
Such is our dilemma.
