Weather conditions leave Virginia out in the cold in bowl selection process

By Jason Wise | December 3, 2002

BLACKSBURG -- Saturday's loss to rival Virginia Tech could not have been more deflating for both the Cavaliers and the Virginia fans who made the long trip to Blacksburg and watched the game in the snow and driving wind. Despite the loss to Virginia Tech, the Cavaliers deserved more respect than they received, and a bowl bid to the Continental Tire Bowl should sicken any fan of good college football. The Virginia players knew they were a better team than they were able to show in Blacksburg, and so did their fans.

Cavs prepare for struggling rival Hokies

By Matt Trogdon | November 26, 2002

Fresh off a 48-13 thrashing of the Maryland Terrapins last Saturday, the Virginia Cavaliers (8-4) travel to Blacksburg this weekend to face in-state rival Virginia Tech (8-3). A once highly competitive rivalry, the Virginia-Virginia Tech series has become a bit one-sided as of late, with the Hokies winning the last three games. Last year, Virginia Tech won 31-17 at Scott Stadium.

Virginia's victory lacked only a laugh track

By Joe Lemire | November 25, 2002

The win was emphatic. Poignant. Lopsided. And yes, comical. It started as I was walking through the assembled tailgating masses and spotted a Maryland fan in full Terrapin regalia including -- and I only wish I was making this up -- a red plastic turtle hat complete with short, stubby head, checkered shell, four stout feet and a small tail protruding from the rear.

By J.D. Moss | November 25, 2002

Despite struggling defensively all night, the Virginia men's basketball team (1-0) came up with a big stop when the team needed it most, from an unlikely source, to preserve a 90-86 victory over Long Island (0-1).
