Four year later, a columnist's left only with a few laughs

I swore when I took over as a columnist there was no way I'd write a narcissistic, sentimental fourth-year column. But, since all I can think of is the Green Bay Packers' frustrating NFL draft and my history term paper, I'm left with a slightly sentimental fourth-year column.

Parting memories of a nostalgicCavalier

Working as a sports columnist for the Cavalier Daily is an interesting niche. That each column is adorned with a small, full-color headshot has created more than a few awkward social interactions.

Women's golf makes NCAA field

The No. 8 seed Cavaliers earned a birth into the 63-team 2005 NCAA Women's Golf Championships. In just the team's second season, Virginia has finished in the Top 10 six times this season, including a tie for third place at the ACC Championships April 17.
