UVA Soccer Strikes Again
If there's one thing that really gets me goin, it's crushing our in-state rivals in Blacksburg. I don't care if it's football, basketball, or bowling, any time we chalk up a W, it's oh-so-satisfying. And yesterday evening, our men's soccer team took care of business, ousting the Hokies 3-1 on...
Virginia-Maryland Non-Rivalry
Culture vs. Agriculture. Carolina Sucks! These are perhaps the two phrases that come to mind when thinking of catchphrases against Virginia's rivals. You'll notice that "Eat turtle soup!" is not one of them. That is because Virginia and Maryland are not rivals. Virginia only really has one...

Virginia Tech Limps Down The Stretch
The Hokies head into Wednesday night's game banged up and desperate for a win. The injury situation is so bad it's forced Seth Greenberg to alter his practices: Greenberg said he had scaled back in live drills in practice because not enough players could participate. Virginia Tech practiced for...
Turnovers And Effective Possessions
One of the things I like to examine every year is the effect of turnovers on offensive efficiency. Every season there are a few teams living and dying in these margins. To figure out what a turnover costs, I subtract turnovers from each team's total possessions, which leaves just the possessions...

Road Trippin' Through The Motions
Box Score / Photos I've sat down a half a dozen times to write something about the football game, but words fail me and I don't think an audible groan counts as a recap. But I trust you saw the horror. No need to rehash what was another predictable leg in the Pack's Indignity Tour '09. The game...
BB&T Review and Bowl Pick Review
BB&T Classic - Here are some pictures from the BB&T Classic in downtown Washington last night. I had a difficult time getting good shots with the lighting in the Verizon Center, even though my position in the arena was quite good. I recommend that if you're a college basketball fan that...
