It's an easy 2 hour drive from DC and since Charlottesville is a small city, there are plenty of hotels.

Thanks DC fan. In State College, rooms go for hundreds of dollars and every single one sells out. The fan base has to be at least 3x the size on gameday, without exaggaration, 150k to 200k people come into town. So I won't need a room 2 years in advance, which is good.
People like you who are not jerky trolls realize that A) PSU games sell out almost without exception (walkup tickets to Eastern Illionis may be available this year), and B) it is possible that I like UVA and PSU and would especially enjoy this game.
PS The Penn State Football Story, preseason edition is on right now on MASN, just to bug our troll
