Brad, which OL will be eligible for a medical redshirt?

Getting ready to go here in Charlottesville with UVa's Mike London. If you're so inclined, check this thread for notes in a bit.

It is Clemson

The nice thing about this season is that whether we win or lose week by week, we're one game closer to a winning program every week. Either we win, which speaks for itself, or we lose and take another step towards firing CML and bringing in a strong coach.

That's why even seeing us squander another opportunity to win a game that was within our reach, we can still rest easy knowing that pain will soon come to an end.

I still stand behind my conviction that we'll win 3-5 games this season and will get a new coach next year.

Great things ahead. Go Hoos!!!

I know everyone wants to pick UVA, but Pat Haden fired Lane Kiffin midseason, didn't properly vet Sarkisian, and now has fired his SECOND coach midseason. He also hired a terrible BBall coach. UVA is great in everything but football. We're really really really terrible at football. Toss up in my opinion. Thoughts?

Collins won the women's ITA tournament. Kwiatkowski won the singles and teamed with Styslinger to win the doubles in the men's ITA tournament. Congratulations to these Hoos and their coaches.

Getting ready to go on the teleconference line with junior defensive tackle Andre Miles-Redmond. Check this thread for notes in a few...

Junior center Jackson Matteo doesn't mince words when it comes down to his belief that UVa's offensive line is close to creating big plays with a much great frequency.

In this video interview, he talks about the depth on the line right now given the injuries that the Cavaliers have had to deal with so far, what that means for the group as a whole now that things have been shuffled around a bit, what the resolve of the team is like, how he and the O-line deal with frustrations when the running game isn't creating the way they'd like, and what he's seen on film from Syracuse's defense thus far.

Wasn't today the day to find out the time for the game? I am going to try to make it if the timing is right. Thanks

that London will be back next year. After all, we all saw how it inspired the team last year.

When I watch most other teams in football and then us, we look slow as dirt. Even Tech looks a step quicker when we play them. Are we not recruiting enough speed or is our SC program missing something where our guys get slower over time? Quin looks slower than last year.

Speed has been a problem since late under Groh and London which I don't get because a lot of these guys had decent times coming out of HS.

This is just another example of the whole program needs to be stripped down with the next coach because many problems go past just coaching and SC needs to be overhauled for football as well because guys are get bigger, but slower at Uva it seems.

So in a dicussion with a friend of mine whose dad is in the money circle that I went to Uva with keeps trying to convince me that some people on the money side of things because of the money going to baseball and basketball refuse to buy out another coach because of what we did with our last two basketball coaches and Groh. That is about as crazy as crazy can be but at same time our upper heads dealing with football are so incapable of making the right decision that even in my heart I feel 99% London is gone, but that 1% trust of stupidity still sits here having heard it before. I believe it possibly because the way the people in charge of football have dealt with this program has been an absolute joke. This firing will be more than just a fired coach because if we don't do a complete reboot with who cares about running the football program. We will get a sub par coach that will keep us at the bottom of the ACC for at least another decade. How on earth could a decision be made last season to not only bring him back but to announce it before the Virginia Tech game when these are the same people who made genius hires in baseball and basketball? At this point I know it sounds like turning our backs on the kids, but we might have to start emptying Scott Stadium and making it look like the University of Miami on a Saturday to really embarrass the football program and they still might be drinking margaritas with the smile. The only reason I refuse to give up my season tickets I bought since college is because the ones I don't use which have been many in the last few years I give to special needs kids who otherwise couldn't go to the games and that's the only reason I continue to buy tickets because otherwise I wouldn't give UVA a dollar out of my pocket until changes are made.

The stats were almost identical' Both teams made 16 first downs with 7 by rushing and 9 by passing. Pitt gained 141 yards rushing, and UVA gained 139. Pitt gained 209 yards passing, and UVA gained 220. Pitt had 5 penalties for 40 yards, and UVA had 4 for 22 yards. So what was the difference in the final score? I Believe that there were two obvious problems. First 74 of our yards rushing were on one play, and that play did not lead to a touchdown. Second, and related to the first, UVA had 2 opportunities in the red zone, which resulted in 2 field goals' Pitt had 4 opportunities which ended in 2 touchdowns and 1 field goal.

This will be two INTs in Kirk Cousin's column, but this was all his WRs that gift wrapped both INTs. The Garcon juggling a catch, then tips it up to a DB standing right beside him. Grant with poor route runs/slip/fall that leads to an easy pick; game over.

Cousins is doomed with this core group of green 1st/2nd year practice squad promoted WRs. When your original number #2 veteran in Andre Roberts is demoted for a first year rookie that was suppose to just be a practice squad guy speaks volumes of the receivers on this team. Garcon has had a knack for tipping balls up for INTS; although not as bad as butter fingers Roberts that accounted for Cousins 1/3 of his INTS last year. Roberts was demoted last week for dropping catches in his hands at critical times, wide open that would have been easy TDs.

It doesn't help the 20 something Offensive Coordinator and Gruden are dysfunctional to repeat the same mistakes from last year to bring in Roberts on the last series that hadn't been in the game and then go to Grant that has shown to run poor routes, has several slips and falls, especially last year and drops balls that hit him in the hands during critical times. Crowder seems to be the surest of hands, even above Garcon that disappears for segments. Typical bad luck, Matt Jones was out because of a toe injury issue in the last series.

We as fans can thank Reed and D jax for being NO SHOWS. I would cut Reed and get a RELIABLE TE that can string at least 6 or 7 games of productivity and can stay on the field. This guy has ridiculously shown he can't stay on the field beyond two games since arriving. Lots of his bumps are of his own doing and not playing smart. He constantly gets big gains from other WR/RBs called back because of just boneheaded penalties away from the ball and after the run or receiver has gone by. Morris had a 19 yard gain called back because Reed decides he would throw a player to the ground after the play was by him and whistled dead. Morris simply walked by Reed rolling his eyes and shaking his head at Reed in disguise!

Wife planning a trip from Florida over break. Kids first game at JPJ. Anybody have good seats willing to part with for 12/30 and 1/02? Thanks.

Plenty of depth to make 2 balanced squads. 16 players on the roster...13 scholarship, 3 walk-on. How would you divide them? I'll go...

PG - Perrantes
SG - Hall
C - Nichols
SF - Nolte
PF - Gill
Bench - Salt, J. Jones, Kirven

PG - Thompson
SG - Brogdon
C - Tobey
SF - Shayok
PF - Wilkins
Bench - Diakite, Reuter, Bartley

Two definite starters on both sides. First group a little more experienced, second group a little more athletic.

IT CAN BE DONE

Texas State (worst total defense in nation, 119th vs run, 123rd vs pass) how would our offense do?

Obviously on paper we should rack up yards but in my opinion we'd find a way to screw it up

I really thought after the Notre Dame game maybe this team had a shot to win five or six games, but enough's enough of bad coaching, playing 10 yards off the ball on a soft cushion to let them throw 6 yard passes on 3rd and 5. Players are not getting better, our time management game in and game out might be the worst not only in college football but I've seen high school programs with better management. Was going to wait patiently till the end of the year but if we lose to Syracuse next week it's time for London to go. No point to sugarcoat it or make these kids suffer any longer because the writing is on the wall.

I think when our kids play well it is in spite of mike London not because of him. Watching the game yesterday I believe we have more talent than Pitt does but as always the coach found a way to lose the game for the team. That is crazy to say isn't it? But all of the delay of games because they don't send the call in until 10 sec on the play clock, crazy amount of discipline penalties, and stupid clock management time out calls. THAT IS COACHING! These kids have to much talent and I do believe with the right coach could play with most of the teams in the country as shown in there tough schedule this year. There should be a coaching change now not later if nothing more than for the kids sake.
