Devvarman, Shabaz to compete in professional grand slam event

By Dan Stalcup | August 31, 2009

One current and one former Cavalier will play in the 2009 U.S. Open, which begins today. Somdev Devvarman, a two-time NCAA individual champion who graduated from Virginia in 2008, will compete in singles after winning three matches to enter the field of 128. Current junior Michael Shabaz will compete in the doubles event of the Open with Wayne Odesnik, the current No.

Boo Hoos

Like several of you, I went to the Girl Talk concert Saturday night. I was hoping to make it in time to hear Virginia men's basketball coach Tony Bennett and football coach Al Groh speak to the crowd; I did not. I was disappointed to miss Bennett.

Reasons for optimism

By Aaron Perryman | August 26, 2009

I was disheartened to find out a few weeks ago that the Virginia football team was picked to finish fifth in the ACC Coastal Division by the members of the media who gathered in July for the ACC Media Days. But with the landslide, four-game losing streak the team ended 2008 on, the large number of questions surrounding this year's team and the strength of the rest of the Coastal Division, it was unlikely that Virginia would be picked to finish much higher. There are many reasons to believe the Cavaliers will suffer through a losing record this year.

All about the dreads

By Andrew Seidman | August 22, 2009

I'm at the Grandover Resort in Greensboro, N.C. for the "ACC Football Kickoff," where the entire ACC media has congregated to collectively suck up to every human being who is at least 6 feet, 200 pounds. It's one hell of a spectacle - the media sycophants gather around the superhuman football players and try to imbibe as much of their glory as possible.

Depleted team leans on young starters for help

By Jack Bird | August 22, 2009

Every season, collegiate athletic programs across the country cope with losing talent and experience to graduation. "It's one of the challenges we face as coaches because just when you feel like they are coming together after four years they have to leave," women's soccer coach Steve Swanson said. How much a team is affected from losing experienced players may vary from season to season, but inevitably, there is no such thing as a "contract extension" in Division I. The women's soccer team said goodbye to seven seniors last year - most notably senior defender and two-time first team All-American Nikki Krzyik.
