Rider presents unusual mid-autumn challenge

By Will Van Wazer | November 19, 2009

Rider is an unusual early season opponent for the Virginia basketball team, and not just because of its distinctive mascot: The Broncs.

Punt it!

By Aaron Perryman | November 18, 2009

I feel like there's been a lot more talk during the last couple years about football coaches refusing to go for a first down on fourth down and electing to punt instead.

The perfect storm

By Dan Stalcup | November 17, 2009

Unless you have some combination of the powers of teleportation and time travel, chances are you missed at least some parts of the monumental games and competitions this past weekend. And that's a shame - Friday, Saturday and Sunday were one of the most remarkable weekends in recent Virginia sports history. Here's an hour-by-crazy-hour account of those incredible three days for those of us who don't drive DeLoreans. Friday, 5 p.m.: At University Park, Pa., the unranked women's soccer team takes on St.

There's only so much you can take away from Friday's season opener against Longwood, but game one of the Tony Bennett era certainly presented some of the new coach's principles that will be put to the test against better competition in the near future. I've heard concerns that Bennett's defense-first approach will translate into dull, low-scoring games, with the offense primarily operating in half-court sets.
