I always imagined writing something eloquent for my final column, but these types of things rarely go as planned. My brain is too fried from the daily college grind to put together something coherent. So as my parting shot, here are a few assorted thoughts about three incredible years of sportswriting for the University community.

Our baseball team has almost everything - a top-five national ranking, a solid core of young players and players who have proven themselves in conference play. They even have enthusiastic fans who continue to sell out Davenport Field.

This Monday, The Cavalier Daily released its annual listing of the salaries of University employees, including athletic department staff and coaches. I find these numbers endlessly fascinating, especially when comparing how much each coach makes to his success leading the Cavaliers.

Monica Wright will be the first to admit that her final postseason, which resulted in one-game exits from both the ACC and NCAA tournaments, was very much a disappointment. But Virginia's all-time leading scorer won't have time to dwell on it: instead, she is gearing up for a transition to the professional level.

There's an old video tape at my house in Northern Virginia that my mom recorded when I was about 6 years old. It's a sports talk show before a Redskins game with a small fan section that they opened for free that one time.

Having a baby will really suck the life out of you, even as it gives you something to love. Babies take hundreds more hours than you expect them to. People who have never had one wonder why someone would put themselves through the pain and effort required to raise a child the right way.

Here are a few words that I would use to describe Sunday's basketball game between the fifth-seed Virginia and 12th-seed Wisconsin-Green Bay women's basketball teams: Devastating.

The Virginia women's basketball team's season ended with an upset loss to Wisconsin-Green Bay by a final score of 69-67 Sunday evening. It was the last game of senior guard Monica Wright's collegiate career.

Many people who see me hang out with my friends assume that we hate each other's guts. We spend about 90 percent of our waking minutes yelling and arguing about stuff deemed by most to be "ridiculous" or "pointless."

Its cult fame is growing gradually and its enormous influence is becoming more recognized, but Freaks and Geeks remains the most underappreciated cultural entity of my lifetime. The show, which just turned a decade old, is a bleak high school dramedy done right. Each of its 18 bittersweet episodes is a near-perfect construction, but what's most impressive is how the whole season tells a thematically complete story while maintaining a tremendous love for each one of its characters.

Much has been written and said about All-ACC guard Monica Wright, who played her final home game and whose jersey was retired Sunday, but the most meaningful to me came from her mentor and friend, coach Debbie Ryan.

I'm sure there comes a time in every dedicated fan's life when you start feeling really old. For me, that time is now.

This is the final installment of my pseudo-weekly series about the best of the past decade from Virginia athletics. Today, I rank my choices for the greatest athletes of the decade. What I looked for was dominance, records, hardware - especially championships, MVPs, and All-American awards - and overall importance to their teams. As usual, I give a shout-out at the end to someone who couldn't make the cut for the list.\nThere were some extremely difficult cuts to make it down to this list of 25. The toughest were 2009 first-team All-American Danny Hultzen, Ryan Zimmerman - who was great and a second-team All-American, but whose collegiate success is often overhyped largely because of his current popularity in the big leagues - and football guard Elton Brown, who was a first-team All-American.

If I had made a list in mid-November about where I wanted the women's basketball team to be in mid-February, most items would be checked off right about now.\nIs Monica Wright playing out of her mind and continually improving? Check.

After 13 straight losses to the Tar Heels - a stretch that dates back to 2003 - the Cavaliers edged North Carolina 82-78 in double overtime last night at John Paul Jones Arena.

She had 737 career wins, four ACC championships and an Olympic Gold Medal in 1988. She was inducted not only into the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in 2000, but also the Naismith Hall of Fame, which includes athletes and coaches from across the game of basketball, in 2002.

As the clock wound down to six minutes remaining in the second half, No. 20 Virginia saw its lead against N.C. State dwindle from double digits to a mere three points.

Consider for a moment some of the most influential scripted TV comedies of the past decade. Arrested Development is an intricately woven arras of absurdity and double entendres. The Office is a bittersweet tale of little passions and victories in an otherwise bland and barbed world. Entourage is a chronicle of obsession with status and class told with charm and snark.
