The thought of Thanksgiving always makes me smile because it reminds me of my senile old uncle, Col. Shelton Haybasket.

Entering yesterday's match, if there was one thing about which you could criticize the Virginia men's soccer team, it was its inability to score goals; the No. 2 Cavaliers ranked 106th out of 203 Division 1 teams in scoring. All doubts about their offensive prowess were cast aside yesterday afternoon, however, as the Cavaliers dismantled Bucknell 5-0 in the second round of the NCAA Tournament at Kl

One of the things that tends to happen when you don't have fully functional brain cells is that you scrub your hair with harmful substances that have the potential to eat through your scalp - substances like body wash. This morning, for example, I hopped out of the shower thinking everything was fine, until I looked into the mirror and noticed that large clumps of hair and flesh had fallen off my head, which was beginning to turn green, and mustaches were growing on random parts of my face.

Listen up, you highfalutin', over achievein', Jeffersonian, Babylonian readers. I'm about to get real with you, so take off your pants of condescension, put on your boots of sympathy, cast aside your underpants of stink and grab your sweater vest of understanding. The truth is, as most people who know me can attest, I am an unintelligent person.

As the Virginia men's soccer team prepared for its Sept. 15 non-conference matchup against Mount St. Mary's, one of its best players was nowhere to be found.

With a three-game win streak and a high national ranking, the No. 11 Virginia men's soccer team should have entered Saturday night's match confident in its ability to dispatch a winless Clemson squad. But with players tussling on the muddy turf and fans huddled under umbrellas beneath the pelting rain, the gritty contest proved to be anybody's game.

As the final days of 1986 winded down, a young George Gelnovatch hung up his Virginia Cavalier soccer jersey for the last time and reflected back on a stellar playing career.
