The NFL circus

By Kyle O'Connor | January 30, 2008

Less than a week from today, this year's football season will come to an end. Kids will cry, men will eject themselves from their recliners for the first time since Halloween, and beer vendors will enter their own version of Prohibition. But the most devastated person in the country will not be wearing a cheese-head or a foam finger -- that person will be the editor of People magazine. It seems like this season the NFL has been one part ESPN and one part TMZ.

Wright can do no wrongin second year for Cavs

By Sean Bielawski | January 29, 2008

As Hall of Fame basketball coach Al McGuire said, "The best thing about freshmen is that they become sophomores." The same can be said for Virginia sophomore guard Monica Wright, who has followed up her dazzling freshman campaign with an even better encore performance. The Cavaliers (15-5, 4-1 ACC) have won nine of their last 10 and look poised to get back to the NCAA Tournament for the first time since the 2004-05 season.

Seniors hit the pool for final home meet Sunday afternoon

By Megan McDonald | January 25, 2008

Despite losing its first ACC dual meet since 1998, the Virginia men's swimming and diving team is poised to take on Pittsburgh Sunday. Indeed, the Panthers are likely to bear the brunt of the Cavaliers' lingering anger over their 2-point loss at the hands of the Tar Heels. "Last weekend's result won't change a thing about how we approach Pittsburgh," Virginia coach Mark Bernardino said.

Cavs begin ACC schedule on three-game win streak

By Conor Wakeman | January 25, 2008

After three strong victories on the road this past weekend, the Virginia wrestling team now begins its ACC regular season against North Carolina and Virginia Tech. Those three victories seem to mark a turning point in the Cavaliers' season of which past years have fallen short.

Just wait 'til next month

By Kevin Zdancewicz | January 24, 2008

I have been a U.Va. fan for as long as I have followed sports. There were some successful years during that stretch, but also a number of letdowns and demoralizing losses.

Seminoles steal victory from Singletary

By Paul Montana | January 24, 2008

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- For the second time in three games, Virginia got out to a sizeable lead in the second half but was unable to close in the final minutes, as the team fell to Florida State 69-67. "When you lose a game by a possession or two, similar to the 1-point game we lost last week, I go immediately back to the 20, 30, 40 hours that doesn't prepare you well enough to either hold down the fort or maintain a lead or execute when you need to," Virginia coach Dave Leitao said. With Florida State (13-7, 2-3 ACC) leading 63-62 and 43 seconds on the clock, the Cavaliers (11-6, 1-3 ACC) put the ball in the usually secure hands of senior Sean Singletary.

Newest Crippen keeps family legacy afloat

By Megan McDonald | January 23, 2008

As she pursued her passion for swimming, Claire Crippen's last name could have been a burden; her older brother, Fran Crippen, had already established himself as a world-class athlete in the pool -- a tough act to follow. Claire Crippen was not deterred: Only halfway through her first year on the Virginia swimming and diving team she is already recognized as one of the Cavaliers' top female competitors. "All the way through high school I followed in my brother and sisters' footsteps," Crippen said.
