America loves to hate winners. The teams who make you scowl just to think about with their sickeningly sweet appearances, fair-weather fans, and ubiquitous worldwide pomp.
It has been more than two years since Bayside High rising senior Taquan “Smoke” Mizzell committed to Virginia over North Carolina and West Virginia, affirming the Cavaliers’ considerable influence in Southeastern Virginia’s Hampton Roads region.
In nearly every circumstance, the early-recruiting process that exists in basketball hurts recruits such as Boatright, Peebles and Kelly by removing them from the nationwide recruiting process.
Can Virginia pull off the upset? If it plays anything like it did in 1995, the Seminoles had better watch out.
With Saturday’s head-scratching loss to North Carolina, the Virginia football team fell to 4-4 on the year. Our team this year is obviously much better than last year’s edition, but the Cavaliers still have several enormous flaws which could keep them from reaching bowl eligibility.
The East Region's top seed from a season ago, the Virginia Cavaliers, received the No. 8 national ranking in the USA Today preseason poll released last Thursday.
A definitive ranking of ACC teams nine weeks into the season.
As a University student committed to the Honor Code and a longtime Cavalier sports fan who has seen her fair share of player dismissals, it seems odd to me that Winston would continue playing despite his troubled past and the new allegations against him.
The names that are often mentioned when people think of the Revolutionary War are those of Thomas Jefferson, George Washington, Paul Revere, etc.
I’d like to start this week by apologizing for a dearth of #GoACC coverage last week, I had a few prior commitments and I hope nobody’s week was not too negatively affected.
If an unhealthy addiction is defined as an irrational fixation on something that is objectively not worth the trouble, then tie me to a chair, send in the shrinks and let the intervention begin. I have a problem.
The problem with the proposed system is that compensation would most likely have to be reported as income for the athletes on either the W-2 or Form 1099 as misc. income.
Before all else, my tennis fandom can be described as fiercely nationalistic. But as Chanhong noted last week, long gone are the days when American men were serious contenders at major tournaments.
The U.S. Open, the last of the four tennis grand slams, continues this week in New York, New York, one of the most recognizable places in America. American tennis players, on the other hand, aren’t so recognizable.
Student-athletes can sometimes seem like entirely different beings: incredibly fit and often-intimidating creatures roaming Grounds in official ACC sweatpants, identifiable by the names and numbers attached to their backpacks. Here’s something crazy, though: they’re humans just like the rest of us – except they’re humans who also happen to perform nearly superhuman feats. Our peers in the Athletics Department balance the same academic pressures as everyone else – then they go out and win for the glory of dear Virginia.
Following his Liverpool side’s 3-2 triumph over fellow league title challenger Manchester City, Steven Gerrard’s eyes began to leak. Gerrard lost control of his emotions at a juncture when the threat of losing out on the league crown remained quite prevalent. If you know anything about Gerrard’s story, however, you’ll forgive the man a moment of emotion.
Way back in 2010, as a wee first-year, I joined Hydra, UVa’s women’s team. You could say I drank the proverbial Kool-Aid, and lots of it.
“Ladies and gentlemen, you’re looking at the Hungry Huskies. This is what happens when you ban us!” When Shabazz Napier barked those words at the world after his Connecticut team won the men’s basketball national championship against Kentucky Monday night, he triggered a deluge of reactions. More than that, he reminded everyone of the polemic debate engulfing the NCAA.
Over 59 games at UVa, fan favorite Teven Jones averaged 1.7 points. The meager stat lines hardly do justice to his impact off the court.
Opening Day is not a national holiday yet – keep at it, Ozzie, I’m with you – but it sure felt like one for baseball fans. Monday alone was full of storylines that, over the course of 162 games, will only get better – or at least, more interesting.
