Like UVA being knocked out by another "mid-major" UMBC.
If there are "mid-majors" then that implies there are "low-majors." Who are they?
And this from a Football Blog I am on. They are discussing schedules, like Bama doesn't play a tough OOC slate, but they are upgrading it. There was a discussion that Bama and Notre Dame have signed a home-home agreement. So, one of those arrogant azzholes remarks, well, Notre Dame is not very good anymore, they are more like a "mid-major." Another poster chimes in, look, I don't like ND either, but there's no need to be insulting by referring to them as a "mid-major."
So, being a "mid-major" is something to be insulted about. Hmm...
