UVA beats Vt 3-2 in JPJ with 3100 fan’s screaming. Way to go Hoo Ladies. They were down 2 sets and came back winning the next 3 sets.

Just love Tony Bennett's humility, love and caring spirit. The entanglement of Painter's Purdue and UVA under Bennett is scary close. I rooted for FDU so that every year UVA would at least share the negative spotlight. But CTB is a far better man then me.

Wish I had a kid who could play for him.

If anyone wants to sell them, please let me know. I would appreciate it.

Does anyone have any information on how the scrimmage with UConn turned out?

Decision coming. How are we feeling?

I think the kids may have learned a valuable lesson in practice intensity and Tony Bennett. Hope we hear more about the Maryland scrimmage this weekend.

Any thoughts on this one? Between us and uga

Our OC has been the subject of almost constant criticism on this board. Some have pined for Jason Beck to have the job. While I love what Beck did with our quarterbacks during his tenure here, his performance at Syracuse as OC is leaving much to be desired. They started out hot against weaker competition, but only 3 touchdowns in the last 3 1/2 games. Tonight their offense is a no-show against VT. Tech is crushing them, 30-3, starting with the first offensive possession by SU. Three and outs on their first three possessions, and it hasn’t gotten much better. Sixty-two yards in the first half. Sometimes, the grass isn’t greener.

Any coverage guys? Realize you all have day jobs and likely couldn’t attend in person but kind of a big event not to have any of the videos or anything posted

Borrowed from Facebook.
Two West Virginia football players were walking in the woods.
One of them said, “Look a dead bird.”

The other one looked up into the sky and said,
Where?

The men finished behind UNC and Syracuse, and the women followed NCSU and Notre Dame..

Great tweet I saw. This is what recruits should really be looking at rather than what likes of UK and Duke put in NBA. You could put the cutoff lower, say 50, and I suspect we’d be #1.

Preview: @BigGriff gets you ready for tomorrow afternoon’s clash in Miami Gardens as UVa hits the road once again, this time bound for a matchup against the Hurricanes (3:30 p.m., ACC Network).

On Episode 534 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“Something to Talk About”), we look back at UVa’s incredible win in Chapel Hill and how it changes the narrative before we preview the game at Miami this weekend.

Josh Sborz (Texas) and Pavin Smith (Arizona), both members of the 2015 national championship team, will be playing in the World Series.

Coming off his first official visit, four-star wing Jacob Wilkins (2025) talked to @HoustonWilson about his time at UVa, what stood out during the trip, and what it’s like being recruited by his brother Isaiah, now an assistant coach with the Hoos.

Virginia scored the first 3 goals before High Point converted. Cavs offense was not huge, but it was effective. High Point had 13 shots to 6 by Virginia, but both sides had 5 shots on goal.

Justin is tied up today, so we will not have a real time transcription of the press conference. We will post the video once available. If any notable news is broken, I will add it here prior to the video becoming available.

Three-star guard Ishan Sharma talked to @HoustonWilson about his comfort level with UVa following his official visit and what made him commit to Tony Bennett and the Hoos shortly thereafter.

With the Blue-White Scrimmage now in the rear view, @HoustonWilson looks back at several takeaways and what they mean for UVa ahead of the season opener early next month.

Before this season started, I was willing to give Elliott the benefit of the doubt because I believed that he had been dealt a very poor hand in terms of returning talent and depth, and this was very evident in the 2022 games and the first six games of the 2023 season. On the other hand, I was discouraged because of the poor performance on the field and the obvious recruiting results. This indicated to me that 2024 results were not likely to be significantly better. In addition, it seemed to me that Elliott was constantly hoping to win by drawing to an inside straight when it seemed to me that some things needed to change.
The first change that was obvious to me was that our Oline needed to be retooled. This process began a couple of games ago, and the results have been incremental until yesterday. The second related change was that it had become obvious that we were not successful in short yardage offensive plays with our backs seven yards behind the line of scrimmage. Against William and Mary we bought in Osterhaus at QB and put him under center in the tush push situations; it worked then and worked again against a much better UNC team. It also seemed to me that our passing offense would not be successful when we relied almost exclusively on Fields and Washington, regardless of their talent as receivers. I had hoped that we would make better use of our tight ends and running backs in passing situations.
Yesterday Wood (TE) was targeted 4 times with 3 completions for 62 yards, and three different backs each caught one pass for a total of 11 yards. Washington was still able to catch 12 passes for 115 yards and 1 touchdown. With better blocking and additional passing threats, our rushing was able to gain 228 yards and average 4.2 yards. Lastly, our special teams play also improved. Bettridge made a 45 yard field goal and has not missed since his first kick of the season. Sparks punted 5 times for 251 yards (50.2) average, and Ganyard kicked off 6 times for a 63.2 average.
For all of these reasons, I am willing to put my obituary in my sock drawer for at least a couple more games. I am not expecting a dramatic change, but today almost every friend that I saw commented on our performance against UNC. It has been quite a while since this has happened.
