Covering this one from the couch tonight unforunately as the Hoos host the Pack. I'll have updates in this thread shortly.

As always, have at it folks...

This is how you play football with an Alpha male QB and coaching staff. You put the foot down and don't take nothing for granted; to send a message in what use to be a combat style sport with broken bones, bloody clothes, and knocked out teeth back in the 60's, 70's in the NFL.

Maybe Elliott and staff can go out to Oregon and get some coaching up this summer on how to not sit on the ball at half and techniques for toughing up the spines of coaching staff and technique and strength conditioning for your players to not be turnstiles on the O line.

So out of frustration of this loss and felt bad for the guys that played hard to lose this game and come up short.

So I went and looked up BA's stats for this year vs first year AC. Despite AC's 6 INTS he is playing hard and making things happen. Several of his INTs I would contribute to poor WR play on the ball in 50/50 situations.

Here are Brandon Armstrong's stats: He has 859 yards passing through 4 games, 5 TDs and 4 INTs and is averaging 214.75 yards passing a game.

Here are Anthony Colandrea's stats: He has 923 yards passing through 3.25 games. 5 TDs also but 6 Ints and is averaging 284 yards passing a game, despite no line where he is running for his life and only two prime targets of Washington and Fields that look heavily covered.

I like Colandrea's Moxy and will take him all day. Yeah he's young and will make a few mistakes, but he surprisingly has alot of promise if we can get an o line and let him go to work improvising on passing or running the ball to keep the chains moving.

Watching Alabama vs Ole Miss with the Tide looking a lot like us. Had it 1st and goal from the 1 and ended up kicking a 40 yard field goal. No penalties - just miscues and sacks. Followed that with a kickoff out of bounds. Even powerhouses get the blues.

Anybody have the real scoop on why Starling decided to red shirt and leave the program. Was it solely based on not receiving any pass attention first two games, or lack of reps in practice? Have to think it was more than that. Chemistry, not liking Elliot or his position coach. Darn shame as he was our best deep threat

Is our former 4 star really worse than 7 1 on the right side. He is awful. Can't believe how bad Christ must be unless still hurt. Also I must say some of the blame must go to the strength coach. We have size on the line but no strength. We can't push anyone one yard of the line. That is on the strength coach.

I hope that his performance did not get lost in the shuffle. If we can keep him healthy and keep him from getting poached by another team, there are some incredible, fun, record breaking days ahead. The kid is special.

Have worn UVA Colors for every UVA games since Barry Parkill days. But I am not wearing UVA colors for Football Team until after they win a game. They Gotta Earn It!!!!!

It was a good battle between two top 10 teams.

Preview: With UVa looking to get back on track tonight against NCSU, @BigGriff has our breakdown of the matchup between the Wahoos and the Wolfpack (7:30 p.m, ESPN).

So, I don't see this ever happening, but curious to see what people think about a promotion/relegation model for college football like they do for soccer. Do you like the idea? Essentially, you already have tiers of teams based on resources (money, academics, NIL, etc.). Again, don't ever see this coming to fruition, but thoughts about the model for college football?

In an otherwise crappy hoops day and football season, a bright spot...

And Kate Douglass didn't win the Sullivan Award, but awesome she made it that far despite the odds based on her sport...

hired another UGA administrator to be director of VAF AND a deputy athletic director. And Wally Walker returning to UVa athletic department as an associate AD seemingly focused on revenue/NIL dollars. Both seem good but also interesting moves.

Disappointed about some of the things I’m hearing come out of the program. I have it from someone in the locker room that during the rain delay against JMU Elliot did not even try to address the team, just told them not to be on their phones and went off to a corner by himself. So the team just sat around for the whole delay and didn’t go over anything and came out flat.

I was high on Elliot from the beginning and have been defending him cause he’s really got a raw deal with how he took over and the events of last November, but I just keep hearing things that make me rethink him. Even people in the program think he will be gone next year.

If team goes 0-12, does tony keep his job?

The 3-2-1: Coming out of UVa’s presser yesterday, @justin ferber breaks down a few takeaways, poses a couple of questions, and makes one prediction as NC State game week rolls on.

On Episode 529 of the CavsCorner Podcast (“It Turned Quick”), we talk about UVa’s loss in College Park, what concerns us and why, and how we see things playing out tomorrow night against the Red Rocket and the Wolfpack.

Local four-star 2025 point guard Chance Mallory talked to @HoustonWilson about being back at UVa for the first time since being offered, what stood out on the visit, and where things go from here in his recruitment.

We're underway from JPJ.

On Tony Muskett, Elliott said he's progressing from a health standpoint, and he wants to play. Some elements of his health are further along than others.

More coming.

UVa kicked off their 2024 class on Sunday night with a commitment from 4-star forward Jacob Cofie. The Washington (state) native was on Grounds last weekend for an official, and chose UVa over other finalists, USC, Washington and Ohio State.

Fascinating read on how SMU got into the ACC and how deep their donor pockets are.

Covering this one from the couch tonight as the Hoos face the Terps. I’ll be back with updates soon.

As always, have at it folks…
