What would Bill Belichick do?

To end an inevitable blowout loss to the Kansas City Chiefs last weekend after a dismal performance by the Patriots offense and 37-year-old Tom Brady, Bill Belichick put in rookie Jimmy Garoppolo, who was drafted in the second round of this past draft to be Brady’s eventual successor.Brady had thrown two interceptions in the game and was in the midst of a mediocre season.


The Virginia midfield looks strong this year, and junior Todd Wharton is a big reason why. It doesn't hurt that senior All-American Eric Bird and freshman Jake Rozhansky play alongside him. The trio has combined for three goals and five assists for the No. 14 Cavaliers, who battle Duke at home Saturday at 7 p.m.

The journey of Khalek Shepherd

Khalek Shepherd’s mother, Monica, knows football well and her oldest son better.

The State of the Hoo-nion

We have reached the midpoint in the 2014-15 college football season, and Virginia sits at 4-2 as it enters its bye week. Thus, with no game to preview, we here at Cavalier Daily Sports thought it would be fun to break down various position groups performance through the first six weeks of the year. So with that, members of this fine University, I have the high privilege and distinct honor of presenting to you the State of the Hoo-nion Address.

#GoACC Power Rankings: Week 7

I’d like to start this week by apologizing for a dearth of #GoACC coverage last week, I had a few prior commitments and I hope nobody’s week was not too negatively affected.


This year's Washington Nationals gave us renewed hope for a D.C. winner—and then lost their first two games to San Francisco. Still, columnist Daniel Weltz won't renounce his District fandom. He's hopelessly hooked. .

Awaiting the jackpot

If an unhealthy addiction is defined as an irrational fixation on something that is objectively not worth the trouble, then tie me to a chair, send in the shrinks and let the intervention begin. I have a problem.


Senior running back Kevin Parks rushed for a career-high 169 yards Saturday against Pittsburgh, including a 48-yard touchdown.

There is nothing quite like a nighttime football game. Anticipation has more time to build. More fans file into stadiums to be a part of the madness. And the players? Well, the stars shine brightest at night.
