the officials screwed us at the end but the offense screwed us all game long.

Thankfully the D appears to have found their game.

We should have won that one!!!

Man, that is just wrong. I am starting to not like their coach. He is a bully.

Anyone know who #66 was on defense down the stretch? No name on his jersey. Kid looked like he had a motor and a few football moves. I'd like to see him take 100% of Corney's time.

#66 is listed as a 295# OG named Kidd on the roster, but I don't suspect that was him.

this is who we should go after. Not sure, however, that he'd even be willing to leave Annapolis to come to Charlottesville though.

Niumatalolo (57-35, .620), U.S Naval Academy, is the all-time winningest coach in school history, passing George Welsh. This is a coach like Welsh who has even tougher recruiting and retention requirements than UVa and this is the type coach needed at Virginia. Not somebody who has never had to be selective in who is recruited or deal with individuals staying eligible.

I keep reading on this forum about this coach and that coach who has been "successful" at schools with much more flexible or lax entrance or retention requirements than UVa. Everybody who has posted here knows what this coach and the one before had to deal with in terms of going after the type player they wanted. Sometimes they got them but more often than not they didn't or when they did they lost some of them somewhere in-between getting them into school and onto the field.

Unless the University leaders (not athletic but academic along with the faculty) decide that football is more important than academics and make accommodations like other "so called academic" universities this will remain a hurdle to any new coach, and any coach who has not had to deal with this and been successful in the process will not be successful at UVa. To keep thinking this way, or for the AD to keep going after those coaches without a proven track record at a university that prides itself on academics like UVa, is just an extension of the futility we've seen over the past 15 or so years.

Anyone know the station number for radio coverages of Pitt game? Looking for both XM/Sirrus and also AM if possible. Thanks

I am so trying to stay positive and root for my team and alma mater, but that gets harder by the week when you look at the stats that proves we have almost hit rock bottom. A coworker asked me today what are you going to feel like if you drop the next two and I looked at her and said with the staff I almost expect it because anytime us fans feel we might be starting the right path of something with football we hit a wall and 1-5 would call for an absolute midseason firing, but knowing Virginia they will probably retain London for another five years. Does anyone feel like we have a shot against Pitt? Now Virginia Tech is not very good but after watching them play last weekend I just feel without turnovers on defense and not turning the ball over on offense they will absolutely man handle our defensive line in the second half. Hope I'm wrong but I felt a lot better about this game two weeks ago than I do now.

last spread I saw was Tech -1... what are people's thoughts? I think Tech bounces back and gets a must-win here unfortunately

Mike London, 3rd highest paid coach in the ACC. Almost 3x what Brian Kelly makes.

My boy Pete Lembo's making $500k.

Looks like MD has much higher win loss standards for their football program than UVA does.

People talk about our top guys, but the three guys I think who will do their part in making us the deepest team in TB era:

Hall- He stayed around and has that gear coming off the bench as a change of pace to LP that can make that second group go to rest LP.

Wilkins- Very much looking forward to seeing him play with the added weight. Not only do I think he will turn into our best defender over time, but he will be a mismatch in transition for slower 4's.

Salt- He might be a year away from true impact, but I think he will be a ----- putting his body against other bigs. He will do enough to warrant a few minutes if we have foul trouble.

Getting ready to go on the ACC teleconference with Pitt's Pat Narduzzi at noon and UVa's Mike London immediately thereafter. Check this thread for notes.

Getting ready to go on the telecon line with junior quarterback Matt Johns. Check this thread in a few for notes.

It does happen mid year. Not saying it's needed here, but Maryland used to be decent and thought going to the Big 10 could make them better in football oops . I remember when their coach was a hot name on the market

dissatisfaction or apathy? My vote is for apathy. I passed dissatisfaction a couple years ago. Then it became apparent that the academic administration, major donors, and the athletic administration did not care and allowed the football program to continue its descent in spite of the fact that UVA has talent at most positions. To compound the problem, UVA fans have soccer to cheer for in the fall; we have men's basketball, swimming, and wrestling to get us excited in the winter, and we have lacrosse and national championship teams in baseball and tennis to get our juices flowing in the spring. In addition, we have a few other teams that are getting better each year. Maybe we can start selling No-Doz at the football concession stands.

Ratcliffe and Reuther score goals for the Hoos. It is not illegal to win on the road.

Love the commitment to improving his shot. Also think the 3 guard look will be the most successful. Never was sold on Nolte at the3. A 5 man rotation of LP MB MS DT and DH would be a great mix of offense, quickness and ball handling.

I have never watched a volleyball game, but I am proud of any UVA athlete that excels. Anna Walsh was named ACC freshman of the week for the third consecutive week and for the 4th time this year. That is impressive.

Coaching matters! These aren't even his kids yet and Michigan is playing way better then they did on their last coach simply by another coach coming and developing talent. Ohio State should look out in two years when Harbaugh has his own guys

Winston showing why I thought he should not have been selected #1 in the draft. He is showing the same lack of ability to read defenses that he did at Fl State often. I question if he will ever develop the judgment to be a star in this league. I predict consistent inconsistency on his part, and a mediocre to average carreer.
