UVA Football fans had plenty of reason to be frustrated after their Cavaliers went down to an ugly 24-3 defeat at Illinois on Saturday.
Last season’s record-setting offense could only manage three points against a bottom-feeder Big Ten team.
Not good.
As happens in this day and age, plenty expressed their frustrations on social media.
I’d say enjoy the following Top 10 fan tweets (plus a bonus tweet), but you probably won’t.
1. Expecting even more fans dressed as empty seats.
Tech lost to ODU and still manages to have a great environment. Uva lost to Illinois we will have 35,000 next week against ODU.

Gotta assume they were calling for a #3-4 defense? #virginia #illinois #dmb pic.twitter.com/aBLx0whcr0

3. Zeroth percentile is not good.
A lot of 0th percentile for the Virginia offense. https://t.co/FsVWLl8oIo pic.twitter.com/eydDwL661D

4. That’s a lot of cheesecake.
Drowned my UVA football sorrows in a $120 Cheesecake Factory order last night.

5. Refunds.
Will UVA students get any refund on their mandatory $720 athletics fee after yesterday’s football loss?

6. Even struggling would have been better.
Struggling would have been a massive improvement over whatever that was out there. I get what you’re saying there’s def a lot of turnover on the O-Line but they returned a 4500 yard dual-threat passer and all of his weapons. This was horrific. Elliot was badly outclassed here.

7. Mike London 2.0.
I’m done, this is Mike London 2.0 garbage.

9. Calling all oversized 18- to 24-year-olds.
Help wanted: We are in the need of 5 offensive lineman ASAP. Please contact the UVA football team first thing tomorrow morning. #YouHaveToBeAbleToBlock.

10. It’s a bit early for this.
I’m going to start it for @UVAFootball fans because no one else will #FireTonyElliott

Bonus: Rest in peace.
It’s so appropriate that they play the Undertaker’s music on 3rd downs for @UVAFootball at Illinois….the offense has been Dead on Arrival ALL day… #embarrassment
