Maurice Anderson has a request. Forget about the two-inch boxcutter scar stretched across the left side of his face.
If he still were alive, Howard Cosell would have a field day with the Virginia defense. "Down goes Pope!" the raspy voice of American sports would bellow.

Tommy Bowden inherited a rag-tag bunch of scrubs this year, otherwise known as the Clemson football team.
Of all the questions facing Cav coach George Welsh this week as he looks to improve upon Saturday's collapse at Clemson, the biggest is "Where do I begin?" After being shellacked by the Tigers in Death Valley 33-14, Welsh is left to look at a secondary that had multiple coverage breakdowns, a defensive line that made mental errors and lacked a pass rush and an offense that was blanked in the first half. Welsh would never be in such a position, however, had it not been for the rash of injuries and suspensions his team has faced this season. "Between the academic suspensions, the assault suspensions and the injuries, we're hurting," Welsh said.
Virginia field hockey begins this season with a changing of the guard -- new faces, a new attitude and a new head coach. Heading the Cavs' charge to continue the recent success that has become synonymous with the Virginia (4-0) field hockey program is new head coach Jessica Wilk.

This weekend's men's and women's cross-country races at Darden Towe Park in Charlottesville provided the teams with a chance to start their season at a place they won't have the opportunity to race at again this season -- home. The Cav men's and women's squads took advantage of their 1999 home debut by placing second in the women's race and third in the men's battle. "I'm enthused -- it was a good beginning for us even though we're real young," Cav cross-country coach Evan "Buz" Male said. The Virginia women scored 57 points to earn the runner-up position to James Madison's 19 and the men tallied 84 points to finish behind Liberty's 15 and William & Mary's 50. "The women did a good job to come in second, they ran tough," Male said.
CLEMSON, S.C.--When a bruised secondary already thin on veterans goes up against a fast-paced offense that often features five receivers, you don't have to be a rocket scientist to do the math.
Virginia had no problem taking the Towson Tigers by the tail at U-Hall Turf Field yesterday, handing them a 9-0 defeat.
We know Angela Hucles. But who are these other folks? Hucles extended her Virginia scoring record and rookies Kelly Worden and Meredith Rhodes tallied their first career goals as the No.
CLEMSON, S.C.--With 6:11 to go in the third quarter and the Tigers holding a gargantuan 33-0 lead, the ABC affiliate in Clemson decided to cut away to the game between Notre Dame and Purdue. It was only then that Virginia succeeded in finding the end zone. That kind of too little, too late success on offense embodied what was a very forgettable day for Virginia football. So what happened exactly?
