Don't think we'll get a H&H with South Carolina so I'd love to focus on getting a H&H with another P5. Virginia has 3 open dates in 2019. They need two home games.
UVA is definitely another P5 in our footprint that I would like to see APP play. Easy trip to Charlottesville and I don't think that Virginia would be totally opposed to a possible home and home with us.

As an old timer, I watched us beat South Carolina in Columbia in '75, along with a road victory over Wake Forest and a home win over ECU. Still remember the feeling! Unfortunately I think that was the year the Hate Purple cheer was born.

I saw all three "upsets" that year. South Carolina, Wake and EZU. Jerry Harmon who kicked the winning FG in the EZU game was in classes at Watauga High when I substituted there for Dr. Greene's US History course while I was a senior at App.. Last I heard, he was in management with the North Carolina State Employees Credit Union. Surely he has retired by now, however. He was a brilliant and cooperative student.

I saw the Wake Forest and ECU upsets. Am hoping games with Wake will start a nasty Black and Gold rivalry, perhaps called the 90 mile game. I have my seats purchased for when Taylor Lamb and friends will dance all over Wake's head this Fall.
