Now petitioning the NCAA for a new intercollegiate sport: SlamBall.I need to give a shout-out to my buddies Nolan and Tahlor for telling me about this sport, which is played on a modified basketball court that features Plexiglas boards, like in hockey, and four trampolines arranged to cover the area inside the three-point line.
Being a sports fan is never easy. As a Virginia Cavaliers football fan and Dallas Cowboys fan, the performance of these two teams was scarier than anything else I witnessed this Halloween weekend.Virginia had a chance to strengthen its hold on the Coastal Division and definitely let a win slip through its grasp Saturday.
The Virginia men?s cross country team raced to its second consecutive ACC Championship Saturday, and sixth-year senior Ryan Foster claimed his first career individual conference title.Racing at the Ranson-Hamrick Cross Country Course at North Carolina in Chapel Hill, the Cavaliers turned in the low card of the day, tallying just 40 points to comfortably outpace runner-up No.
?You probably can count on two fingers the amount of fumbles that Cedric [Peerman] has had.?Virginia coach Al Groh?s words for Peerman described the first occasion Peerman had fumbled the ball away to the opposition, or at all, in his Virginia career.
You can call what happened Saturday a choke job, self-destruction, missed opportunities galore or just unfortunate luck.
It?s OK, Reverend.By Reverend, of course, I mean Cedric Peerman, tailback and ordained minister.
What the Virginia men?s soccer team hoped would be a season-defining win turned out to be a Halloween nightmare.Virginia was dealt a tough 2-1 loss Friday night by No.

The No. 13 Virginia field hockey team came through with a 4-3 victory in its regular-season finale in a must-win game against No.
Virginia?s volleyball team lost to Clemson and Georgia Tech in this weekend?s set of away games.The Cavaliers (13-12, 5-8 ACC) struggled against the Tigers (18-6, 10-3 ACC), losing 0-3 (14-25, 12-25, 18-25) in Friday night?s match.
After Virginia?s come-from-behind win against then-No. 18 Georgia Tech last Saturday, the Cavaliers have become the epitome of the phrase ?from worst to first.? After an abysmal start to the season, the Cavaliers (5-3, 3-1 ACC) now hold the top spot in the ACC Coastal Division.
As the rest of the University prepares for Halloween festivities tonight, the Virginia men?s soccer team has other things on its mind.
It was a cold night at Kl
The Cavalier field hockey team will hit the turf Saturday for a game against No.
After an up-and-down weekend, befitting of the first half of their ACC season, the Cavaliers will kick off the second half of their schedule against Clemson and Georgia Tech this weekend.The Cavaliers (13-10, 5-6 ACC) rank ninth of 12 in the parity-filled ACC this year, while Clemson and Georgia Tech rank third and fifth, respectively.
It seems like this won?t change at next year?s draft. Two Virginia seniors, offensive tackle Eugene Monroe and outside linebacker Clint Sintim, are projected by many mock 2009 NFL Drafts to go in the first round; Monroe is often listed in the top five.
The legal troubles of Virginia football players continued yesterday.
