You would have to know my opinion of VT for that to make sense, I suppose.

Basically, VT fans are the absolute bottom of the barrel. Absolute trash. It's a mix of hill people and fairweather fans left over from the early 2000s. They are the worst. That combined with Blacksburg being so average means I don't ever care to see UGA play VT in Blacksburg. I guess mudholing those idiots does have appeal though, so idk.

I want to play UVA and UNC because Charlottesville and Chapel Hill are awesome, their fans are indifferent but generally cool, and it would be a bunch of fun.

I lived in Virginia for several years and had the opposite impression of VT fans. Yes, Southwest Virginia is one of the most backwoods places in the country, but they have a large alumni base and following in Hampton Roads. I used to spend every Saturday at Buffalo Wild Wings in Virginia Beach and the fans I interacted with were, for the most part, pretty good fans who would support their team through rough times (like after they lost to Boise St and James Madison in consecutive weeks in 2010).

UGA/VT would be a much more attractive game than UGA/UVA, because UVA has been an underachieving program for many, many years. UVA has a great city, awesome campus, and very fertile recruiting bases in Va Beach and DC, neither of which are far from campus. Yet they are an awful team almost every year.
