BLACKSBURG -- Saturday's loss to rival Virginia Tech could not have been more deflating for both the Cavaliers and the Virginia fans who made the long trip to Blacksburg and watched the game in the snow and driving wind.

It started as I was walking through the assembled tailgating masses and spotted a Maryland fan in full Terrapin regalia including -- and I only wish I was making this up -- a red plastic turtle hat complete with short, stubby head, checkered shell, four stout feet and a small tail protruding from the rear.
