Hello, my name is Kyle and I'm a sponsorship addict. Believe me, I'm not happy about it. In fact, I'm madder than George Gelnovatch at the ACC Tournament (and that's just about the maddest human being I could think of). I've tried everything to get my life back: the patch, the gum, the pill and the support groups, but so far, no dice. Let me take you back a couple months to when this whole mess began.

The Virginia Cavaliers had not forgotten anything about their short stay at last year's ACC men's soccer tournament, not the four goals they had allowed to Clemson in the quarterfinals nor the deficient overall form that had ended a two-year reign atop the nation's most competitive league. So when they arrived at Maryland SoccerPlex yesterday for the 2006 event, the Cavaliers were intent on making amends for last fall's messy performance and regaining their place among the conference elite. The result-- a 2-0 victory over those same Tigers -- was cleaner than their play, but enough to send the third-seeded Cavaliers into tomorrow night's semifinal against second-seeded Wake Forest.

Virginia hopes history does not repeat itself as it takes on the Clemson again in the first round of the ACC Tournament. This year's effort will not be any easier, as the ACC has once again proven to be the toughest conference in the country.
