Get your popcorn ready. Virginia basketball stands less than two weeks away from the formal kickoff of the Coach Ryan Odom era, an occasion caught at the crossroads of quiet excitement and bittersweet reflection.
Sunday afternoon’s matchup between Denver and No. 9 Virginia was filled with wind gusts reaching whopping speeds of 18 miles per hour, sweeping through Klöckner Stadium. Trees were shaking left to right and leaves were getting blown around, but they were not the only things that had to be shaken this afternoon.
As third-year College student Lauren Rylander arrives back to her dorm at 6 Monday morning, she can barely walk or think straight. Fresh off a 12-hour shift as an emergency medical technician for the Charlottesville-Albemarle Rescue Squad, the only way for Rylander to combat the sleep deprivation is by taking a warm shower. She then assembles her daytime outfit, packs her backpack and heads off for a day in academia on Grounds.
Third down. Washington State pinned at its own one-yard line.
Scott Stadium shook. Echoing throughout its cement confines were the roars of a season-best 56,000 members of the Cavalier faithful. Just minutes ago their team trailed by two scores. Now, No. 18 Virginia (6-1, 4-0 ACC) was down three points — and after two false starts, Washington State stared ahead at a second-and-21 from deep in its own territory.
Coach George Gelnovatch has a minor fixation with scheduling. The way he sees it, come the postseason there is a goal, to get the highest seed possible, and there is one surefire scheduling strategy to reach it.
Many students on Grounds are calling for the University to reject the “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education,” that was proposed to the University Oct. 1 by the Department of Education. These students worry about possible negative consequences for members of the University community if the Compact were to be signed, including international and transgender students.

University Counsel Cliff Iler will depart for the University of Arizona in November, according to an announcement by Arizona released Wednesday. This concludes what has been a tumultuous tenure for Iler during which the Justice Department launched several inquiries into the University’s compliance with federal civil rights law, specifically regarding admissions, antisemitism and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives. The University has also faced several lawsuits this year, including one by Virginia state senators and another in 2024 regarding a case of alleged antisemitism.
Wednesday night was the first time this season Virginia faced Virginia Tech in the volleyball iteration of the annual Smithfield Commonwealth Clash — and it was in enemy territory in Blacksburg. After the first two sets, the matchup seemed over, but the Cavaliers (9-8, 2-5 ACC) were not done fighting yet. They put themselves on the offensive and fought like never before, taking the third and fourth set to force a final tiebreaker set against the Hokies (9-9, 1-6 ACC). Fortunately for Virginia, Virginia Tech made a grave mistake on match point and gave the Cavaliers the win, 22-25, 20-25, 25-22, 25-20, 15-12.
Brown University became the second of nine universities to reject the Trump administration’s “Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education” Wednesday, following the Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s similar decision last week. The University of Virginia has not yet announced whether it will sign the Compact which was sent to nine institutions Oct. 1 and which ties increased federal funding to a set of principles surrounding admissions, hiring and campus policies.
Over the summer, I was lucky enough to be able to dine at Eleven Madison Park, a three-Michelin-star restaurant on New York City’s famous Madison Avenue. It was the most exquisite meal I’ve ever had, not to mention that, at the time, it was entirely plant-based.
In Coach Tony Elliott’s view, the bye week that the team had this past week was perfectly timed. It fell right after their sixth game, making it a crucial moment for this football team to catch their breath at the midpoint of their season.
October has been a challenging month for Virginia volleyball, as it has balanced rearranged lineups, a handful of injuries and the start of challenging ACC play. Sunday, the Cavaliers (8-8, 1-5) found some respite in the injury department as senior outside hitter Kadynce Boothe returned to play. But Boothe’s return was coupled with a road matchup against No. 5 Louisville, which currently sits at the top of the ACC, and the Cardinals (14-2, 6-0 ACC) defeated the Cavaliers, 25-11, 25-21, 23-25, 25-17 despite a strong Virginia effort to win the third set.

This was Virginia’s match to win. The Cavaliers (7-1-3, 3-0-3 ACC) had their names written all over the game ball as a flurry of chances were created from the opening to the closing. Team chemistry was on full display with possession going in Virginia's favor — and against Notre Dame — throughout.
