What a rush!

By Paul Montana | October 20, 2008

As Virginia surmounted its improbable comeback and students streamed onto the field at Scott Stadium Saturday following the team?s 16-13 overtime victory against North Carolina, my foot was lodged firmly in my mouth for two reasons.One was that no one is allowed to cheer in the press box, and my shoe was the best object available to absorb my gleeful hollering.
