Zimmerman begins his education in the MLB

By Bayless Parsley | September 5, 2005

Even though he left college one year shy of graduating, The Education of Ryan Zimmerman is only beginning. The first chapter was written last Thursday in Atlanta when the former Virginia baseball star went down looking in his first Major League game. But when Zimmerman suited up for his first home game in Washington Friday night, he banged out the first hit of his Major League career in a 7-1 loss to Wild Card-leading Philadelphia. Replacing starting third baseman Vinny Castilla in top of the 4th inning, Zimmerman jogged onto the field amidst a chorus of cheers from the 28,939-person crowd.

Nit-picking necessary

By Brian Budnick | September 5, 2005

"It's stupid to nit-pick wins," defensive end Brennan Schmidt said after yesterday's game. Not so fast, my friend. If the Virginia Cavaliers are to be anything better than a 7-5 team this year, Al Groh and Co. better pick nits about Saturday night's game for the next two weeks.

By Robert Amanfu | September 2, 2005

Hagans tunes out criticism

By Walker Freer | September 1, 2005

Marques Hagans has heard it all before. He's too small. He'd rather run than pass. He's doesn't have an accurate arm. Maybe Virginia's starting quarterback is on the small side

By Matt Boucher | September 1, 2005

With seven seniors approaching their final shot at an NCAA tournament berth, workouts this summer took on a new sense of urgency for the Virginia field hockey team.

Unheralded wideouts look to prove doubters wrong

By Bayless Parsley | August 31, 2005

At certain positions, Virginia is loaded with experience. D'Brickashaw Ferguson, Brad Butler, Marques Hagans, Wali Lundy, Ahmad Brooks, Kai Parham, Brennan Schmidt... The list of familiar faces is easy to draw. But if you dip your bucket into the well looking for experience from the wide receiver position, you're going to find yourself with some pretty parched lips. Ottowa Anderson may have enough tenure to fill up your glass, but he hasn't played a down of football since the Continental Tire Bowl against Pittsburgh in 2003.

Life, Love, Sports and ThunderCats
