Each time I stepped out of my dorm last year, one accessory was always close by — my trusty AirPods. It is an understatement to say that I was attached to my chatty podcasts in the AFC, pop playlists on strolls around Grounds and instrumental music during Shannon study sessions. Whether I was embarking on the two-minute walk from Gooch to Runk Dining Hall or the 20-minute trek to my classes, something was constantly playing in my ears.

Virginia football season kickoffs have varied dramatically over the decades, reflecting the ever-changing dynamics of the team. In 1950, the Cavaliers defeated George Washington 19-0 with a strong defense despite missing their captain due to an injury. 1964’s season opener brought the Demon Deacons to Scott Stadium. The 1975 game was a lot more challenging than expected with Navy defeating Virginia 42-14, exposing the team’s unpreparedness. In 1983, the Cavaliers’ running game won them the matchup against Navy 27-16. The 1996 season began with a strong 55-21 win against Central Michigan, making Coach George Welsh the ACC’s winningest coach at the time. In 2007, the preview for the first rivalry matchup of the season against North Carolina demonstrated the need for a strong offense.1950sSept. 26, 1950“Depleted Cavaliers Take 19-0 Decision From GW”By Herb HessPhotos by UnknownThe Cavaliers took a 19-0 victory from George Washington for their first game of the 1950 season.

Virginia sat a breath away from victory. It needed just one more point to take the fifth set and clinch the match, to conclude a hard-fought comeback after a rough start Saturday against Appalachian State.
Despite all the miscues on a chaotic afternoon, Virginia had a chance to win the game with one minute to go. Its offense stood at the NC State 12-yard line with a timeout in hand and complete momentum as the clock wound down. A touchdown and a comeback victory felt almost inevitable.
In recent weeks, the Virginia Senate’s Privileges and Elections Committee blocked another slate of appointees for Boards of Visitors across our state. The effects of this are dire — the University’s Board is missing five members, and the Board at George Mason University is unable to even make a quorum, effectively shuttering their operations. This present predicament is a reflection of broader systemic issues within the statewide governing board confirmation process, issues that can and must be fixed. In an environment where systemic procedural problems have impaired the stability of our universities, it is clear that changes to the appointment process must be made.
The upcoming Virginia gubernatorial election holds significance, as it is the first in the state where both major party candidates are women. In addition to this, it represents a litmus test for public opinion of the Trump presidency so far. In Virginia, Republican Party opponents have accused Democratic candidate Abigail Spanberger of having policies that threaten capitalism. The mischaracterization of economic policy has been used by politicians in the United States to make voters perceive candidates based on fear of labels rather than their proposed policies. Incorrect messaging about economic policies will continue to impact states with key elections coming up like Virginia. Regardless of the merits of policies, the mischaracterization of policies as threatening capitalism functions to prevent voters from making fact-based decisions and will lead them to base their voting decisions on biased sources. Education is the answer to this problem.

All the buildup went out the window as Virginia freshman forward Bacary Tandjigora weaved through the Virginia Tech defense, starting near midfield and cleaving the defenders.
