Experience, confidence and execution. A quarterback needs these three things to excel. And a team needs these from him to win. As for success in 2000, Virginia quarterback Dan Ellis is already two-thirds of the way there.
These three make quite a group. They are all big and brash, as confident in each other as they are in themselves. One is a 20-year-old former high school All-American waiting for his chance to shine, another is the working man's running back - strong and fearless - and the third is the great unknown, capable but unpredictable.

Those of us who love dance movies know that they operate under a few unwritten rules. They do not require the most original plot and characters, or the strongest actors. They should make up for it with insight, fresh performances, and of course, lots of beautiful, exciting dancing. The creators of "Center Stage" know this formula well -- and give us exactly what we want.
AS A HIGH school junior, I remember obediently plucking college guides off the bookshelf at Barnes and Nobles when spring rolled around. Most guides would tumble from ridiculous shelf-top heights and the giant books cataloguing all 3,000 universities in America would hit me square on the head. After a while, I began gauging how useful the books were by the bumps they left me with, and would discard any books that hit me too hard. When the Princeton Review: The Best 331 Colleges fell on my head, it did not instantly leave me dizzy and confused. Instead, upon reading it later, its description of the mysterious University of Virginia did.
The No. 24 Virginia men's golf team won its first team title of the season over the weekend, edging East Tennessee State by two strokes in the Furman Intercollegiate competition in Greenville, S.C.
As a pitcher who relies on a variety of drops and bouncers, senior Stacey Zagol is bouncing back from a mediocre junior season to turn in a career year in her final months with the Virginia softball team.
When Virginia fifth-year senior Ashley Widger walked off the field after the Cavaliers' 16-6 loss to Maryland in last season's NCAA women's lacrosse championship game May 16, it seemed to mark the end of her collegiate career. The All-American walked the Lawn not long after, receiving her degree from the University as a member of the class of 1999.
The No. 3 Virginia women's lacrosse team faces a tough in-state challenge today when No. 20 William & Mary, coming off a tight overtime defeat, looks for redemption in Charlottesville. The contest is scheduled to begin at 6 p.m. at University Hall Turf Field.
LAST YEAR, I witnessed a crime being committed. It wasn't your typical crime, nor did it happen in your typical criminal setting. It didn't happen in a dark alley or along an abandoned stretch of road, but rather in the midst of a 1,000 bright-eyed and bushy-tailed teens, anxiously waiting for the beginning of another Friday night football game.
After tallying a career-high 21 points Sunday in the Virginia women's basketball team's 85-64 win over Washington in the third-place game of the Rainbow Wahine Classic, first-year sensation Schuye LaRue was named ACC Rookie of the Week.
Seven weeks spent in Israel challenged photographer Jonathon Sharlin's assumptions about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and inspired him to relay the reality of this tragedy to other Americans. He does so through "Letters from the Middle East," a moving installation on display in the Artspace Gallery in Newcomb Hall until November 26.
The Virginia men's soccer team knew that in order to secure a spot in the 32-team NCAA Tournament they would have to conclude the season with a strong showing in the ACC tourney.
First Dan Ellis was knocked out of the Florida State game, both literally and figuratively. Then he watched backup David Rivers lead Virginia to its biggest win of the season against Georgia Tech, creating a full-scale quarterback controversy. So, in his first game back under center, how would Ellis respond after such a tumultuous two-week period?
The year was 1992. Dan Ellis and David Rivers were teenagers who, just like the rest of America, watched the Summer Olympics on television. And like every other casual viewer, the two future Cavaliers probably came across a series of Reebok commercials marketing a pair of Olympic hopefuls with two of the more pedestrian names you'll ever hear - Dan O'Brien and Dave Johnson - as the hottest rivalry since Ali-Frazier. Who would reign supreme: Dan or Dave, Dave or Dan?
Momentum is a tricky thing in football.
In his eight starts under center, Dan Ellis never experienced a half quite as memorable as the opening stanza against top ranked Florida State Saturday. The Exton, Pa., native watched Thomas Jones race into the record book, shattering Tiki Barber's school rushing record. He watched the Cav defense stand up to the dynamic Seminole offense and force three turnovers. Most of all, he watched his Cavs carry a surprising 10-7 lead into the locker room. Too bad he couldn't remember any of it.
Perhaps it was only appropriate that the Virginia women's soccer team, playing its final regular season game on Halloween afternoon, needed less than 50 minutes to suck the life from the Tennessee Lady Volunteers yesterday at Klöckner Stadium.
With the ACC tournament less than a week away, the Virginia women's soccer team knows it needs to seal its last two regular games with victory stamps.
Dan Ellis readily admits that the Virginia Tech defense battered, mauled and just about knocked him into next week. And he couldn't be happier to be there.
