Gillen could learn a lot from Groh

By Becky Piedel | January 31, 2005

Pete Gillen is no Al Groh. Comparing them is like comparing bananas and blueberries -- it just isn't plausible. But after what unfolded in Virginia's 110-76 loss at home to North Carolina Saturday afternoon, Gillen ought to borrow a page out of Groh's playbook -- the one that says stop babying your supposed superstars and make them earn their spots in the starting lineup. After the Virginia football team fell 36-3 at Florida State in October, Groh declared open competition for all defensive spots.

Cavalier football lands running back recruit

By Cavalier Daily Staff | January 28, 2005

For a brief instant it appeared Virginia had lost out on another star recruit, when Mikell Simpson initially announced live on ESPNNEWS that he was heading to the "University of Alabama." But Simpson corrected himself a second later and said, "Virginia," and confirmed his intentions by pulling a Cavalier hat out of his bag, the Richmond Times Dispatch reported. Simpson, a 6-foot-1-inch, 195-pound tailback who attends Harrisburg High in Pennsylvania, is ranked No.

For fans, NBA just doesn't have enough to offer

By Bart Isley | January 26, 2005

As a sports fan, I knew at some point I would have to give the NBA another chance. So, this season I committed myself to understanding the pro game's subtleties and attempting to pay attention -- as long as I could stand it. I follow college basketball almost religiously, and despite Virginia's recent struggles I am already looking forward to March.
