At 10:53 a.m. Friday, in a dining hall converted into a press conference room, a mounting hubbub suddenly died. There seemed no outward trigger. It just happened, as if the gravity of the approaching moment somehow struck all the assembled at precisely the same time. Here he comes. You could hear a pin drop.
Virginia rowing began its fall campaign Sunday in Boston, Mass., at the world's largest regatta — the Head of the Charles. The Cavaliers placed third in the Women’s Championship Four event and eighth in the Women’s Championship Eight competition, both a one-place improvement from last year’s efforts.
In the blink of an eye, Virginia men’s basketball faces a seemingly impossible task — replacing Tony Bennett. It is a daunting job, but Bennett, who announced his retirement last week, leaves the team in the trusted hands of Ron Sanchez, previously the associate head coach and now Bennett’s interim replacement. Sanchez has previous Division I head coaching experience and a good track record of recruiting, tools that will help as he replaces a coach who is the furthest thing from replaceable.
The days are getting shorter, the planets are in retrograde — whatever that means — and the Northern Lights are coming through with flying colors. The latter phenomenon has held captive both imaginations and phone cameras in recent weeks, as shades of green and purple and blue define social media feeds and skylines alike.
After his retirement was announced Thursday, Coach Tony Bennett held a press conference Friday inside John Paul Jones Arena, where he confirmed his immediate retirement.

The goal seemed so simple. The ball pinged from one player to a second to a third, short and crisp one-touch passes, and then to a fourth.
Multiple times in college, I’ve found myself on a blind date — an arrangement where I go out with someone, despite never having met them. These dates are usually organized by a mutual friend, who sees date functions or other University social events as the perfect opportunity for match-making. While these dates can turn out to be fun, they can start out awkwardly when neither person knows what to say. For anyone being set up on a blind date at the University, here are 10 questions to kickstart a conversation and make you and your date feel a little less like strangers.
After a close loss to Louisville in which they had a lead in the fourth quarter, Virginia football will look to rebound Saturday when they travel down to No. 10 Clemson. The Cavaliers (4-2, 2-1 ACC) have started the season off hot but have yet to play a ranked opponent like the Tigers (5-1, 4-0 ACC). This game will be a herculean challenge for Virginia — but if the defense continues to thrive and the red zone offense steps up, then the Cavaliers stand a fighting chance. This contest is pivotal — especially as Virginia inches closer towards bowl game eligibility.
Virginia men's tennis concluded a successful few days at the ITA Atlantic Regional, a standalone indoor tournament held at Old Dominion University in Norfolk, Va. that ran from Thursday to Monday. Players from various schools competed in singles and doubles draws, including James Madison, Virginia Tech and Navy — with the Cavaliers being the highest ranked team among them due to a successful spring season. The event provided a platform for qualification in the 2024 NCAA Singles and Doubles Championships in November, allowing for many hard-fought matches across the five days of competition.
Every time I walk on Grounds, I see another leaf turned golden orange, and I feel another crisp breeze in the air. Each sign of fall is another reason for me to whip out an apron and try my hand at some of my mother’s seasonal recipes.
With the advent of crisp, cool air and auburn-colored leaves upon us, we have finally arrived at autumn’s doorstep. As indoor hobbies come back into relevance, there is no better way to dive into the comfort of cozy fall activities than nestling into a book that matches that warm, snug atmosphere.
Right before the beginning of the fall semester, the University updated its protest policies relating to expressive activities on University property. The new changes came four months after May 4, when students who participated in a pro-Palestinian encampment on Grounds were the victims of state-initiated violence. The new policies limit camping and putting up tents on University property. The update also includes a new policy on masking, prohibiting people from wearing a mask with the intent of concealing their identity.

At a Wednesday panel hosted by U.Va.’s Center for Politics, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity, Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority and Students for Equity and Reform in Virginia, three Democratic politicians, all of minority backgrounds, discussed key issues facing Charlottesville and the Commonwealth of Virginia.
Virginia football could easily be 6-0 right now. In fact, it would be, had the Cavaliers not suffered from self-inflicted wounds in the fourth quarter of two frustrating losses. Their 4-2 record is nothing to scoff at though, especially considering how the past two seasons have gone — but a troublesome trend is brewing. This team cannot seem to score inside the opponent’s 20-yard line, commonly referred to as the “red zone.” Virginia ranks 129th out of 134 teams in that category. Uncreative designs, poorly executed plays and a lack of clutch ability on offense are at the heart of a red zone scoring drought. And if the Cavaliers cannot fix the red zone issue, they will not be playing postseason football.
