When you think of the success of Cavalier football, what comes to mind? True, the Cav trophy case lacks a national championship, but Virginia is represented quite well in the NFL this season.
In fact, 24 former Cavalier football players were on NFL rosters when the pro season opened last weekend. Of the 156 former ACC players on NFL rosters, Virginia had 24, trailing only Florida State and North Carolina. Five 2000 graduates are playing on Sundays now: running back Thomas Jones (Arizona Cardinals), tight end Casey Crawford (Carolina Panthers), defensive tackle Maurice Anderson (New York Jets), center John St. Clair (St. Louis Rams) and cornerback Antwan Harris (New England Patriots).

The NFL teams with former Cavaliers are the Ravens, Browns, Colts, Falcons, Lions, Dolphins, Patriots, Packers, Saints, Rams, and Buccaneers.
So no longer do Virginia fans have to sing the "Good Old Song" just on Saturdays, because there are several reasons for them to cheer on Sundays.
