What's this?

Yes it does come off as petty.

I'm have several family member, friends, and acquaintances who are UVA alum or fans. We give each other friendly jabs but I hold no ill will towards them for their bad taste in schools:)

With that being said, how can you ignore the role of the other 9 members in this? He is but one vote. Did you read the part about the power that the chair of the committee has in this?

If you found out the vote was 9-1 against the Hoos with Babcock being lone vote for would you still feel the same way.

There is no evidence he campaigned against you. Was it a bad decision? Probably, but that doesn't mean he did it to screw over UVA.

Teel blog: Babcock on first baseball committee experience, UVa not hosting -- Daily Press 05/31/2017 12:35PM

He states his reason in the article and I take him at his word.... -- Jackie VT 06/01/2017 12:22PM

Interesting...hope someone posts this on the Hoo board. -- RJHokie 05/31/2017 2:11PM

Playing dumb... -- ViolateTheShotClock 05/31/2017 6:44PM

Please. Of course he knows how he voted -- that guy 05/31/2017 2:26PM

Agree* ** -- 48tnhokie 06/01/2017 08:11AM

Did you read the article? Teel said NO ONE ever discloses their vote. -- 3TechFanz 06/01/2017 06:17AM

He voted for Clemson, get over it Hoos ** -- Hamburger 05/31/2017 7:36PM

And the thing is, if he voted UVA, Clemson has a right to be upset -- VTECHFAN 06/01/2017 3:26PM

And yet no one other than the committee thought they deserved it -- that guy 06/01/2017 4:31PM

I've seen several people saying Clemson deserved it. -- VTECHFAN 06/01/2017 5:09PM

Please show me where you saw people saying Clemson deserved it -- that guy 06/01/2017 5:29PM

Clearly. So stop pretending anything else -- that guy 05/31/2017 11:05PM

Ok he did, but what about the others -- 48tnhokie 06/01/2017 2:24PM

Do you remember when you were about 12 years old and there -- SHPHOKIE 06/01/2017 11:02AM

He didn't make that decision alone. Why put all of the blame on him? -- Jackie VT 06/01/2017 09:46AM

Is it really being petty, though? What if situation were reversed? -- that guy 06/01/2017 11:50AM

Yes it does come off as petty. -- Jackie VT 06/01/2017 12:02PM

No, I would feel much better if I knew he voted for us -- that guy 06/01/2017 12:10PM

You're right, he was not the only one to vote against UVA -- that guy 06/01/2017 11:41AM

Wait, so you blame Babcock because at least six other people agreed? -- VTECHFAN 06/01/2017 1:07PM

No, definitely not -- that guy 06/01/2017 1:36PM

This post has finally convinced me that the entire VT -- SHPHOKIE 06/01/2017 3:25PM

I think it's pretty ridiculous to question Babcock's motives -- VTECHFAN 06/01/2017 2:04PM

I would argue that analysts for NCAA baseball sites are better informed -- that guy 06/01/2017 4:25PM

How do you know he didn't present those facts? He may have..... -- Jackie VT 06/01/2017 11:53AM

So be honest: -- that guy 06/01/2017 11:58AM

Sure there would be some bitter feelings... -- VTECHFAN 06/01/2017 1:43PM

Of course some in our fanbase would do that. I have little.... -- Jackie VT 06/01/2017 12:07PM

So was he just poorly informed then? -- that guy 06/01/2017 12:17PM

As I said, I find conspiracy theories tiresome. ** -- Jackie VT 06/01/2017 12:27PM

Clearly some are taking it way too far -- that guy 06/01/2017 1:39PM

I'd like to think that a Hokie wouldn't file a FOIA request. Really... -- Jackie VT 06/01/2017 3:51PM

Yeah, I agree. That's too much ** -- that guy 06/01/2017 4:28PM

Frustrated sure. Questioning motives/character... not a chance ** -- VTECHFAN 06/01/2017 2:35PM

Here is the bottom line for me -- that guy 06/01/2017 4:27PM

I would expect him to choose the team with the "razor thin" advantage ** -- VTECHFAN 06/01/2017 4:33PM

Quote from article: "It could have gone either way" ** -- that guy 06/01/2017 4:50PM

So that means there's a mass conspiracy when it went another way? -- VTECHFAN 06/02/2017 12:39PM

News Flash, he isn't the ONLY one who voted -- Hamburger 06/01/2017 05:02AM

Yes it does come off as petty.
