Wild weekend capsizes steady ACC ship

By Jed Williams | September 25, 2001

Saturday, in the span of roughly 10 hours, a league commonly teased as "Florida State and the other eight" turned into FS-eeww and a band of unheralded and undaunted upstarts. Traditionally, schools like Maryland, Wake Forest and North Carolina boast about as much football luster nationally as Geraldo Rivera does journalistic credibility. If Saturday's startling, if not downright jaw-dropping, results are any indication, though, the aforementioned and their conference counterparts won't be blips for long ... more like fixtures on every fan's double Doppler. To think Clemson would fall, 26-24, at home to a Virginia team that needed every hair on its chinny-chin-chin to top I-AA Richmond is surprising enough.

Cavaliers escape Death Valley with rare victory

By Jessica Garrison | September 24, 2001

Amid patriotism and Tiger paws, the Virginia football team returned to the field after last week's cancellations and escaped with a last-second 26-24 upset at Clemson on Saturday night. With no timeouts left and 1 minute, 43 seconds left to play, the Cavaliers (2-1, 1-0 ACC) marched down the field from their own 44-yard line and scored the winning touchdown when sophomore quarterback Bryson Spinner found wide receiver Billy McMullen in the corner of the end zone with one second left in the game. "We practiced that play all week," Spinner said.

NFL leaves country without a rallying point

By Ben Beach | September 19, 2001

The National Football League made a grave mistake this past weekend. Canceling the football games on Sunday was a cop-out. Now, before you begin to protest that I'm being insensitive and say that the NFL did the right thing and showed the utmost respect to the dead, hear me out.

U.S. struggles to move at the speed of sorrow

By Jed Williams | September 18, 2001

America is a nation of speed and efficiency, invention and progression, industry and ingenuity. Most of all, it is a nation in motion, forging ahead, foot glued to the clutch beneath an "ain't nobody gonna take my pride, ain't nobody gonna hold me down, oh no ... I've got to keep on movin'" mantra. When the horse and buggy no longer sufficed, we cranked out a Model T.
