Sunday, February 21 2010 by Tim - 0 comments
It was an interesting starting weekend for several spring sports, to go along with the conclusion of one sport and the continuation of a couple others. Overall, it was a positive weekend for the ‘Hoos and there’s definitely going to be some exciting spring sports action on grounds this weekend. Let’s see how things went: Baseball Gotta start with baseball. The #2 team in the country started off its season on Friday by traveling down to #11 East Carolina. Pretty rough way to start off. As I mentioned yesterday, the Cavaliers got the win on Friday , taking down the Pirates 6-2. Saturday was not as...
The Legend Moves On: “Bullet” Bill Dudley
Thursday, February 04 2010 by Tim - 0 comments
Likely the most talked about football player in University of Virginia history, William McGarvey “Bullet Bill” Dudley, passed away this morning. A native of Bluefield, Virginia, Dudley came to Virginia at the age of 16 on an athletic scholarship. He saw the field some his second year, but it wasn’t until his third year that things really broke out. His senior year was, in a word, amazing. He was the first Virginia All-American that year, and received the Maxwell Award as the best collegiate player that year – the only Virginia player ever to win the award. From his Wikipedia entry : Dudley also...
Virginia Extends Director’s Cup Lead
Thursday, December 17 2009 by Tim - 0 comments
The newest set of standings for the Director’s Cup has been released and Virginia remained on top of the pile with a strong performance from Women’s Soccer (9th place) and a National Championship from Men’s Soccer . The final sport added in this round, Men’s Water Polo only gave points to four schools. That makes for six sports being included at this point, with Virginia scoring in five of the six (Women’s Cross Country, Men’s Cross Country and Women’s Field Hockey were the other three). There are two more fall releases: December 23rd and January 13. Those...

The school year may be over, with many students starting to find out what the real world is like, but that doesn’t mean the Wahoo athletics season is over. We have several teams currently competing in the NCAAs with competition occurring in four different sports this weekend: Baseball: Virginia is the two seed in the UC-Irvine regional this weekend. See Tiki’s post for a recap of how the Cavaliers got screwed with the seeding. The first game is tonight and the regional could last through Monday depending on how the games go. The regional is being televised on ESPN-U, so those of you who actually...

Tennis Wins, Lacrosse Loses and Wendy’s Fails
Wednesday, April 15 2009 by Tim - 1 comments
The University of Virginia athletics programs had an interesting weekend in the state of North Carolina. Friday afternoon, the top-ranked Virginia Men’s Tennis team downed #25 Wake Forest 6-1 in Winston-Salem to clinch the ACC regular season title. Saturday afternoon, the same team returned to action just a short drive away in Raleigh against the Wolfpack of N.C. State. The Cavaliers would again be victorious 6-1 as they clinched their second consecutive undefeated regular season. That’s simply an astonishing feat given the caliber of teams that they play. Just up the road a bit from Raleigh, the...

Spring Sports Update: Why I Do This
Friday, February 27 2009 by Tim - 1 comments
I get a lot of questions from people about why I put so much effort into documenting what goes on in the Virginia Athletics world with my game stories and photographs. I enjoy it. You really have to look no further than the records and rankings of some of the teams playing right now to see why. We’ve got one of the best overall athletics programs in the country and I live within a couple of miles of the stadiums and arenas in which they play. #1 Men’s Tennis (15-0, 3-0 ACC): They’ve already won a national title, winning the ITA National Team Indoors championship earlier this month. They’re well...
