Virginia releases 2014 football schedule

By Fritz Metzinger | January 22, 2014

In approximately ten months, eager consumers around the nation will swarm retail stores on “Black Friday” to gobble up favorable discounts. The Virginia football team, on the other hand, will be shopping for something unavailable on the shelves of Wal-Mart: a Commonwealth Cup. For the first time since 1996, the Cavaliers will play Virginia Tech the day after Thanksgiving next season.

By Kerry Mitchell | December 4, 2013

NFL playoff predictions

By Sean McGoey | December 3, 2013

Finals season is upon us, and there are just four weeks of the NFL regular season to go. That means it’s about time for that age-old tradition that football-fanatic college students like me participate in every year — trying so hard to concentrate on my studies, banging my head on my desk a couple of times, cursing my non-existent willpower, then heading back to ESPN.com to try to predict how the playoffs will turn out.

If we’re going to wallow in the stench, anyway, we might as well do so while discussing the way “Duke controls its own destiny in the ACC Coastal” and “Virginia Tech has to cheer for Virginia this week” are real and true things.

Mediocre Kombat

By Kerry Mitchell | November 13, 2013

Another week, another loss. Another football season all but gone down the drain, and the fans are screaming for the coach’s head. This sounds familiar. Before Mike London’s arrival in Charlottesville, Virginia fans were equally outraged with then-head coach Al Groh.

By Kristen Cauley | November 6, 2013

Searching for a silver lining amid a six-game losing streak might seem futile as the Virginia football team travels to Chapel Hill to face North Carolina this weekend, but it is not impossible to find.

Students face immense pressure to decide on housing as soon as possible, and this high demand has strained the capacities of both on and off-Grounds accommodations.
