The timing seems a tad off.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you’re looking at the Hungry Huskies. This is what happens when you ban us!”
It took 22 seconds in the second half for Virginia to win the game last Friday night.
Four minutes remained in a lopsided game. After recording his second block of the game and prolonging a night that rendered Memphis an ant underneath a giant Virginia defensive magnifying glass, Mike Tobey gathered the ball at the top of the 3-point arc with oodles of time remaining on the shot clock and his defender hanging back in the lane.
On Monday, University alumnus Ian Cohen wrote a story for Grantland entitled “In Praise of Virginia: The Mediocre, Miraculous No. 1 Seed.” That Bill Simmons’ colossus of a sports and pop culture website would publish such a piece signifies Virginia’s arrival as a national talking point. A big to-do, if you will.
Feb. 28, 2013. Virginia has just ousted No. 3 Duke, 73-68, but something other than the game’s outcome is grinding Blue Devils coach Mike Krzyzewski’s gears. Explaining to media why he lashed out at a few Virginia fans storming the John Paul Jones Arena court, he sounds didactic, like a father explaining to his son that he yelled to impart essential wisdom.
As a high school athlete, my perusals of the morning newspaper met with perpetual disappointment.
Littlefinger.
In approximately 10 months, eager consumers around the nation will swarm retail stores on “Black Friday” to gobble up favorable discounts.
Scene opens in an austere, windowless white room, a small round table situated in the center. The JUDGE’s voice booms off-stage.
1. This place is different.
Confirming reports that first emerged Sunday, football coach Mike London announced Monday that the team will add Jerome “Jappy” Oliver as its defensive line coach. Oliver served in the same stead and as assistant coach at Buffalo for the last four seasons.
In just its second episode, the cult television classic “Arrested Development” produced what remains one of its most iconic moments. G.O.B. Bluth, the lovably hapless oldest son of the show’s zany titular family, attempts to throw a check into the ocean to spite his younger and more responsible brother Michael. The attempt fails in miserable, albeit hilarious, fashion.
Specks of pale green line one wall of my childhood bedroom. Encased in frames that also consist of pictures of a cheesing, preadolescent me with a bowl cut mirroring that of the little kid from “Liar Liar,” the spoils of my swimming career from ages 5 and 6 have danced before my eyes for 15 years. “Participant,” the green ribbons read.
The #GoACC phenomenon reminds me of a particularly noxious methane emission. Even when we pinch our noses and believe we have successfully confined the menace to its natural habitat of football, the odor seeps through its supposed boundaries — every now and then confronting us in the places we had ordained sanctuaries. Though amusing in a wry, perverse way, farts are darn annoying when you’re in church.
Virginia men’s basketball head coach Tony Bennett officially unveiled three additions to his 2014 recruiting class Thursday morning, proclaiming that verbal commitments B.J. Stith, Isaiah Wilkins and Jack Salt have signed national letters of intent.
NC State had entered the 2012-13 campaign as the first consensus ACC favorite not named Duke or North Carolina since roughly the Paleolithic Age. By the time the Wolfpack trounced Virginia 75-56 in the quarterfinals of the ACC Tournament, however, they were “only” 24-9 and had finished a “disheartening” fifth in the conference standings for their best season since 2004. I stayed with an NC State family that week in Greensboro and talked to other media who had covered the team, and they all conveyed a similar sentiment: NC State’s electric performance against Virginia underlined how egregiously the team had underachieved beforehand.
It’s not like I’m going to tell you something you don’t already know about ACC football. Virginia stinks, Florida State will finish undefeated unless the school suddenly decides to hire Greg Schiano, and everyone else ranges from “pretty decent” to “pretty atrocious” to “Logan Thomas is involved, are you really that surprised?” Without promising to nix them completely, we need to abandon the football rankings for a little while.
At this past Sunday’s Princeton Chase, a victory for the first varsity eight highlighted an impressive performance from the Virginia rowing team in its second of three fall regattas. Three other Cavalier squads also registered top-five finishes.
