Monumental upsets are often attributed to biblical grandeur — the story of David and Goliath is used to describe teams that face impossible odds against insuperable opponents. In this case, the metaphorical David dons his singlet, rather than taking up his sling.
The University is often marketed as historic and idyllic — brick sidewalks, Jeffersonian columns and sprawling grounds studded with primordial trees. With this historic charm and architectural splendor, students are left with a plethora of spots that practically beg you to fall in love — or to do whatever you so please.
This past November, I went to a concert at the Jefferson Theater with my mom. We went to see Dawes, an indie-folk rock band, which was a full-circle moment for us after years of singing their songs on drives to practice and school. On our way to dinner, we played one of our favorites, “Most People,” in the car. I went to setlist.fm to figure out where the song was located in their track list. Our hearts sank to our stomachs when we figured out they rarely played the song live.

In the midst of last week’s snow-tastrophe, my date and I braved the icy roads in his trusty 2007 Camry so we could eat our way through a Charlottesville Restaurant Week menu. Yes, one of those twice-a-year, three-course, $35 meal deals. Seeing as this was my last Restaurant Week of college, and I don’t yet have a big-girl job with a big-girl salary, no amount of snow was going to come between me and a budget-friendly tasting menu.

As college sports ushers in a new year, it also enters a pivotal moment. Between the College Football Playoffs, bowl games and the rapid approach of March Madness, this is among the most lucrative stretches on the NCAA calendar. With the recent House settlement paving the way for schools to directly compensate student athletes, as well as requiring billions of dollars in retroactive back pay, the economic model of college sports has fundamentally changed. Now more than ever before, money sits squarely at the center of the college athletics conversation.

This band, known as The Remedies, seemed to many like the perfect pick-me-up on this rainy day.
