Football gains new recruits

The 2008 National Letter of Intent Signing Day, one of the most exciting days for senior high school football players -- and nerve-racking for the staff and fans of Virginia football -- happened yesterday.

Super Super Bowl

Sunday night's game was perhaps the best Super Bowl I have ever watched. The Super Bowl is always a great occasion -- good company, good food, good football.

Devvarman brings carefree, relaxed attitude to court while dominating

For many people, Virginia tennis has become synonymous with the name of senior Somdev Devvarman, and most cannot imagine the team without the nationally known tennis player. The native of Chennai, India began making a name for himself during his freshman year and was named ACC Freshman of the Year in 2005 after completing a 8-1 season.

Virginia downs Navy in scrimmage

This past weekend's unseasonably warm temperatures helped bring out Virginia men's lacrosse fans as the Cavaliers scrimmaged the Navy Midshipmen on the University Hall Turf Field. Although Virginia dominated the game and outscored Navy 10-6 on the day, it was the Midshipmen who went up 2-0 early in the first. "I think Navy was a much-improved team from the one we saw in the fall," Virginia coach Dom Starsia said.

Unpatriotic and loving it

I think I just heard a collective sigh of relief from the '72 Dolphins. Now, 19 games after the start of the 2007 season, they can finally rest easy knowing that they are still the only team in NFL history to ever post a perfect season.

Women's tennis edged by Buckeyes

After the Virginia women's tennis team won two of the first three points against Ohio State, the Cavaliers lost the next three to the Buckeyes, falling 4-3. After Ohio State freshman Paloma Escobedo and senior Caitlin O'Keefe defeated Virginia's tandem of sophomore Jennifer Stevens and junior Hampton Williams to start the match, the Cavaliers (1-3) recovered to take the next two doubles matches to win the doubles point. In singles, the two teams went back and forth initially, as O'Keefe and Virginia junior Amanda Rales both won their matches in straight sets, giving the Cavaliers a 2-1 advantage.

Déjà vu all over again

The beauty of the script is that it starts as soon as it needs to start, always allowing just enough time for the opponent to win the game in the final moments or to tie the game and win the overtime.
