Throughout the last 30 years, Virginia has fluctuated between defining itself as a "basketball school" and a "football school." In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Virginia was a "basketball school", marked by the iconic status of Ralph Sampson and the program's success before, during and after his tenure.

Alright, I guess it is official. I am never going to play professional baseball. My lifelong dream of playing catcher for the Baltimore Orioles has come to a sad, silent close. I'd been waiting years for a call and it never came. I even used Hoostrak to search for an opening.
By Ernie Washington Cavalier Daily Associate Editor Nine years after receiving their diplomas, twins Tiki and Ronde Barber returned to Charlottesville for arguably their greatest achievement: A $1 million donation to the University of Virginia. But with all their work off the field, it can be easy to forget that both brothers still excel on the gridiron.
