Every time I pick up a column by a fellow writer - sometimes in The Cavalier Daily, sometimes not - about the fan base at Virginia, I yawn.

When William McGarvey Dudley died a week ago today at the age of 88, few students blinked an eye. Heck, it took nearly a week for this newspaper to run a story about him.
