Bizjack, Bulldogs hand Virginia first loss of Odom era in whistle-filled Greenbrier finale

Colonial Hall never really sat down Sunday afternoon. A loud and restless crowd — part Virginia orange, part Butler blue — hummed through every whistle, every collision and every contested rebound as the Cavaliers (5-1, 0-0 ACC) fell 80-73 to the Bulldogs (5-1, 0-0 Big East) in their second and final game of the Greenbrier Tip-Off in White Sulphur Springs, W. Va.

The AcHOOstics turn up the party for an energetic and emotional concert

For most University students, the end of the semester looks like a wind-down for Thanksgiving followed by an immediate gear-up for finals, perhaps intermingled with reminiscing on another semester gone by too fast. However, for some, the end of the semester signals something a little different — a cappella concert season.

It has been over a month since Virginia volleyball has won at home. The Cavaliers (11-16, 4-13 ACC) hosted NC State in John Paul Jones Arena Friday, kicking off Virginia’s Senior Weekend with an energetic, tight-scoring game, with a crowd of almost 1,500 behind Virginia.

KING: Backroom agreements have no place at U.Va.

It would seem the University’s Board of Visitors Rector Rachel Sheridan finally found the time to talk with — or really write a letter to — the Faculty Senate about her role in both former University President Ryan’s forced resignation and the University’s agreement with the federal government. The impetus for this show of candor — a Faculty Senate resolution calling for her resignation — leaves much to be desired from this University administration. Yet, while Sheridan, and presumably Vice Rector Porter Wilkinson, tried fruitlessly to defend their roles as unauthorized University negotiators in writing, Interim University President Paul Mahoney actually showed up to the Faculty Senate meeting and gave senators a public account of the Department of Justice agreement. Unfortunately, this display of transparency is too little, too late.
