Last year's 11 wins now read like a greentext fantasy; Wake's 51-7 boat race was the reality check.

What happened
Virginia's only game of the week was a 51-7 loss at Wake Forest on Halloween, and the score did the haunting. The rout dropped the Cavaliers to 4-5 and nudged misery from 96 to 97, which at this altitude is just thinner air. One fan offered: "This is a boat race and our offense is a canoe." The most upvoted post recalled 2025's 11 wins and an ACC Championship Game trip, ending on "actually believe things are changing..." Turns out the ellipsis was doing all the work.
