Cavs look for season sweep in Maryland

By Sam Dreiman | February 6, 2007

That standing, however, will be in jeopardy tonight as Virginia travels to College Park, Maryland to face the Maryland Terrapins. In the first place, any and all ACC road games are difficult, but tonight's game at Maryland has a little something extra added to it.

By Barney Breen-Portnoy | February 5, 2007

Only 48 hours after recording one of the most significant victories in the recent history of the men's basketball program, Virginia avoided a letdown on Saturday evening as the Cavaliers beat Miami 81-70.

Bearing down and Manning up

By Zach Rowen | February 5, 2007

Peyton Manning, you can now let out a sigh of relief. You are no longer mentioned in the same breath as Dan Marino, Jim Kelly, Dan Fouts and Fran Tarkenton as being among the best quarterbacks never to have won a Super Bowl.

By Anders Sleight | February 2, 2007

Time stood still last night at the John Paul Jones Arena. It was only for a second, but while junior guard Sean Singletary's game-winning floater soared through the air, the Cavalier faithful stood in silent anticipation of beating arguably one of the best programs in college basketball history.

An overtime class-ic

By Cavalier Daily Staff | February 2, 2007

Virginia (5-6, 1-1 ACC) hit its stride Sunday during its convincing 25-9 win over Virginia Tech.

The importance of these meets is not lost on the Cavaliers, as they head into the homestretch of the season.

Red Sox Nation: Don't ask me why

By Kevin Zdancewicz | February 1, 2007

I am a Red Sox fan. (Yankees fans, feel free to continue reading. I won't make any slights after this one: In 2004, your team blew a 3-0 series ALCS lead on Boston, who has won a World Series title more recently than New York.) Whenever I tell people I am a Red Sox fan, they immediately ask why.
