After leading his team to its best-ever showing at NCAAs (11th) in June, being named ACC and Virginia State Coach of the Year, and earning the verbal commitment of one of the top juniors in the country in Denny McCarthy, head men’s golf coach Bowen Sargent could say he’s had a pretty good summer....

The No. 21 Virginia women's basketball team won their fourth straight last night against St. Bonaventure, 72-64 at John Paul Jones Arena.

UVa Trounces Hampton
Despite being understaffed again, with Mike Scott still recovering from an ankle injury earlier this season and news coming that Jamil Tucker had been dismissed from the team, Virginia played fundamental basketball to easily take care of Hampton, 80-54. Virginia took 6 minutes to get to a 12-0...

UFC's Ben Saunders Horrified, Frightened by Experience With Virginia's Athletic Commission
Once again, Saunders doesn't know me and likely does not know about the previous stink I have raised about this commission. But it hardly matters: when you're consistently incompetent and consistently working, everyone will take notice of your failures. Saunders was at the RIE event in...
Impressions from the College Cup
I don't claim to be much of an expert on college soccer. In fact, I only really became interested in the College Cup to learn more about Caleb Porter to see if he would be a good fit with DC United. But after watching most of Akron's Semi-final win over North Carolina and their loss to Virginia in...
