Sure, millions of Americans can't read. Yeah, yeah, I guess welfare presents its fair share of problems, too. Oh, and crime in our schools ... that's not exactly a positive trend either.

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.

Doubt never entered Billy McMullen's mind. There were no second thoughts, no second guessing: He would play as a first year. Jerton Evans wasn't quite so sure. He was ready, but he didn't know if everybody else thought he was.

Dwayne Stukes couldn't help it. As he spent his bye week watching top-ranked Florida State flounder in Death Valley, one thought kept crossing his mind: Peter Warrick looked rusty.

Dan Ellis could think of only one place to escape the scathing boos and hisses that had cascaded down upon him just a few hours earlier in Virginia's first home loss to Duke since 1981: the library.

Critical offensive mistakes and coverage breakdowns once again plagued the Virginia football team, which dropped its first-ever, overtime game Saturday in a 24-17 loss to previously winless Duke.

It appeared that the football deities were staunchly against Virginia in its quest to topple Duke for the fifth consecutive year. Maybe Thomas Jones indeed did recover his own fumble midway through the fourth quarter, a bobble that allowed the Blue Devils to tie the score. Maybe Ahmad Hawkins' left foot snuck inside the chalk for an apparent game-tying touchdown in double overtime.

A day after the NCAA Committee of Infractions declared the Virginia men's basketball program guilty of secondary violations, Cavalier Athletic Director Terry Holland said the NCAA's findings and subsequent penalty are justified.

Last week I strolled into a book store, waded through oncoming traffic, brushed aside the snide remarks thrown my way by the hecklers who caught me glancing at Better Homes and Gardens and finally reached my destination: the sports section.

Virginia or Marquette: basketball recruit Terry Sanders just could not decide. But ultimately, Sanders, a Milwaukee native, simply could not resist the allure of playing at home, impelling the 6-foot-8 power forward to give his hometown Golden Eagles a verbal commitment.

In an official statement released yesterday, the NCAA's Committee of Infractions concluded that the Virginia men's basketball program committed secondary violations of the organization's bylaws and recommended a punishment that reduces the University's number of grant-in-aids and official recruiting visits.

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.

Virginia Tech linebacker Jamel Smith eased back in his chair late Saturday night, knees wrapped in ice, hat on backwards, a smile gleaming from his face. Sixty dominating minutes of smashmouth Hokie football had culminated in a 31-7 statement win over nemesis Virginia earlier that evening, exorcising any ghosts of last year's catastrophic collapse in Blackburg.

I've never been known as someone willing to sing Virginia Tech's raises. And after Saturday night's 31-7 loss to the Hokies, I'm tempted to make excuses.

Demonstrating uncanny poise in the first road start of his career, redshirt freshman quarterback Michael Vick torched a beleaguered Virginia defense to the tune of 222 passing yards and a touchdown as the No. 5 Hokies cruised to a 31-7 victory over then-No. 24 Virginia before a record crowd of 51,800 at Scott Stadium.

Terry Sanders of Hargrave Military Academy may become the newest member of the Virginia basketball family as early as today, according to Hargrave basketball coach Kevin Keatts.

Just try to ask Corey Moore whether his Virginia Tech defense is the best around, and you won't get very far: he'll cut you off before you have the chance to finish. He doesn't need to hear the rest of the question - he already knows the answer.

During his 18-year tenure in Charlottesville, reticent Virginia coach George Welsh has heaped praise upon individual players about as often as BYU has employed the wishbone offense. If anyone can buck that trend, though, it is Thomas Jones, whose 374 rushing yards over the past two weeks, coupled with his monster 1,303-yard 1998 campaign, have Welsh stringing together superlatives like Dick Vitale.

With Saturday's dramatic 45-40 victory over BYU serving as the anomaly, Virginia's weekend expedition westward was a bit rockier than expected.
