Florida's Zook to be fired at conclusion of season

By Cavalier Daily Staff | October 26, 2004

University of Florida head football coach Ron Zook will be fired at the season's end, Florida Athletic Director Jeremy Foley announced on Monday. According to the Gainesville Sun, Foley and University President Bernie Machen met Sunday and decided it was time for Zook to go.

Virginia beats back Blue Devils in OT

By Robert Amanfu | October 25, 2004

It may have been the frigid weather, maybe even the intimidating atmosphere of Klöckner. Whatever it was, Virginia (13-2, 4-1 ACC) would love more of it as they overcame a two-goal deficit to win 3-2 over the Duke Blue Devils (13-3, 3-3 ACC) Saturday night. Midfielder Mike Littlefield became an instant hero when he finished off a Hunter Freeman cross six minutes into overtime, capping an impressive comeback by the Cavaliers and setting off wild celebrations in the stands. In an entertaining game played at a frenetic pace from the start, both teams found it extremely hard to keep possession and saw early opportunities sail wide of the goal.

Cavaliers blow away Hurricanes at home

By Jeremy Root | October 25, 2004

The No. 20 Virginia women cruised to a 151-125 victory over visiting Miami Friday night in the season opener at the Aquatic and Fitness Center. The score doesn't do justice to the dominating performance turned in by the Cavalier swimmers.

Cavs fight injuries before battling Duke

By Jeremy Root | October 22, 2004

Injuries can ravage a football team's season. And in a collision sport like football, they tend to occur more often than in other big-time college and professional sports such as basketball, soccer and baseball.

The best thing ever: Red Sox revenge

By Joe Lemire | October 22, 2004

NEW YORK, N.Y. The American League Champion Boston Red Sox. It has a nice ring to it, don't you think? The Sox, of course, could not make it easy on Red Sox Nation, facing the brink of elimination before rallying to do no what no baseball team had ever done before -- overcome a 3-0 series deficit to win a seven-game series.

Midseason review: Outlook still good for Cavaliers

By J.D. Moss | October 21, 2004

When I woke up Sunday morning aghast, recalling the 36-3 thrashing the Cavaliers had received at the hands of Florida State the night before, I started to reflect on the Virginia season to date. I had jumped on the bandwagon, thinking the Cavs could actually go into Doak Campbell Stadium and beat the 'Noles, who had struggled against Syracuse. It seemed as if the Syracuse game merely roused a sleeping giant, rather than expose its flaws.

Cavaliers come alive after break for Hokie shutout

By Tara Ostrowski | October 21, 2004

It was a tale of two halves for the offense of the women's soccer team in its 3-0 victory over Virginia Tech last night. The fourth-ranked Cavaliers (12-2-1, 4-2-1 ACC) dominated the Hokies (8-7-0, 3-5-0) statistically in the first half but had little to show for it.

CFL kind to former Cav Curry

By Chris Marsh | October 21, 2004

He was a three-year starter. He had 60 tackles and six interceptions in his senior year and eight career sacks and tackles for a loss -- impressive numbers for any aspiring NFL cornerback. NFL scouts, however, only saw one number when they looked at Virginia's ball-hawking cornerback Almondo "Muffin" Curry -- "5-foot-8-inch." For all his exploits on the gridiron, Curry was passed over by the NFL in favor of taller cornerbacks to match up with today's towering receivers, a fact not lost on "Muffin." "To me, it's not even a point of how good you are, or what you can do out on the football field," Curry said.
