If this isn't rock bottom, I don't know what is

I hoped it would never come to this. Watching Western Michigan cel-ebrate on our V-sabre at midfield after pulling off the 17-10 upset Saturday left me with one of the worst tastes in my mouth following a Virginia football game. I can deal with the home losses to Florida State and Miami.

Cavaliers hammer out old frustrations on Catamounts

Unfortunately for Vermont, the Virginia women's soccer team chose Friday night to take out its frustrations over last week's upset loss to Seton Hall by pummeling the Catamounts, 6-0. "We had a good week of training overall," Virginia coach Steve Swanson said.

Groh pulls McCabe too early

Would somebody please wake me up? This had to have been only a nightmare. In the real world, there is no way that Virginia could lose at home to a middle-of-the-pack MAC team like Western Michigan. But this situation, however, is what we've come to at this school in the sixth year of the Al Groh era.

Third string not the charm for Cavs

When Jameel Sewell's last-ditch fourth-down scramble was stopped just yards short of a first down in Saturday's 17-10 loss, the Cavaliers' immediate and long-term future both moved squarely under the microscope. On paper, Virginia (1-2, 0-0 ACC) dominated the Broncos in terms of total yards (258 to 179), number of first downs (13 to 9), and third-down conversions (5-14 to 3-14). None of these statistical advantages was significant in changing the result of the game, though. "Western Michigan knew exactly what kind of game they had to play, which was play a good, sound, solid game, see if Virginia would do enough to help them win," coach Al Groh said.

Birdwood Golf Course: A"must play"for all Wahoos

Today I've got a deal for everyone out there. This is one of those you-didn't-hear-it-from-me deals, so let's just keep it between us. What if I said you and your friends could play a pickup game on the floor of the JPJ any day of the week for $14?

Virginia football: We need to have the talk

After Virginia's narrow win over Wyoming Saturday, a good friend of mine said that every year, he has to have a "DTR-type" conversation with the team in the home opener to figure out the status of their relationship over the course of the season. A "DTR," for clarification, stands for a discussion "defining the relationship," often occurring after a couple has been "hanging out" for a while. The dominant individual in the relationship will usually tease the other participant along, avoiding the DTR or minimizing the discussion. The "lower hand in the relationship" tries to force a decision on the status of the relationship, though often puts the DTR off in favor of "waiting it out" until the other individual is ready. Such has been my experience with the Virginia football team. I have never been able to define my relationship with Cavalier football.
