Press Conference: Mike London

Chris Graham

Virginia football coach Mike London talks with the media in advance of UVa.’s game this weekend at Georgia Tech.

QUESTION: My question is about Saturday’s game. What was the desired effect of the white out, to see that visualized? And then do you have any other marketing or promotional plans that you are planning?

COACH LONDON: It was great to see uniformed aspect of it with the fans and the students and the support, just generated from everyone wearing white. I’d never seen anything like that, even in the years that I was at Virginia before. It was neat to see. The players were really impressed by it, and it was very impressive.

I’m disappointed that the outcome wasn’t, as we desired. But, you know, whatever opportunities there are to express solidarity, support, and things like that, whether it’s an orange out, a blue out, or whatever it may be, it’s very much appreciated of seeing that at Scott Stadium, because it was something to behold.
