Diamonds in the rough

ACC bans 'ThunderStix' and other noisemakers

By Sean McLernon | July 8, 2004

The Atlantic Coast Conference has banned all artificial noisemakers from its sporting events, because of concerns that they promote poor sportsmanship, the Raleigh News-Observer reported Wednesday. The ban includes the popular "ThunderStix" which were passed out to fans at several Virginia football games over the past two seasons. The league had already prohibited artificial noisemakers at indoor sporting events, such as basketball in recent years, and now the ban will be extended to all sporting events. The SEC and Pac-10, among other major conferences, already have such a policy in place.

New blood revives program

By Eric Ast | June 24, 2004

The similarities between the Virginia men's and women's tennis program do not appear to extend much further than the sport they play. The men's team is led by Brian Boland, whose three-year tenure at Virginia is in the mere stages of infancy compared to the 22 seasons women's coach Phil Rogers has been on the job.
