VIRGINIA MIGHT NOT WHEN A GAME IN THE ACC

After watching last nights game against Pittsburgh I don't know if Virginia will win a game in the ACC and might struggle to win any games this year. They were bad on offense, defense and special teams, they didn't do much of anything right. They don't appear to have outstanding players at any of the skilled positions. After watching several ACC teams play yesterday the only team in the ACC that UVA might beat is Duke and that could be a struggle. This team might be the worst team UVA has had since before the George Welsh era. There were some very good games yesterday around the country and the best game I was watching was the UAB and Oklahoma in which the Sooners won 24-17 over the Blazers. Navy beat East Carolina 28-23 and Georgia hammered Western Kentucky 48-12. Kasey Kahne won last night Busch race at the California Speedway, Mark Martin dominated the race but had to pit for gas late which cost him the victory. The Nextel Cups race will be on TV tonight starting at 7pm on NBC, Mark Martin was the fastest in the final practice yesterday. MICKEY

If you don't invest very much, then defeat doesn't hurt very much and winning is not very exciting.

I cannot understand how division1 school such as Va. can allow themsselves to bee so bd. There is no excuse that a school of this caliber should at lest be respectablee year in and yeaR OUT. The hed coach is ultimaely resonsible for llowing this to happen. even in a rebuilding year , a team must be respectable.The evaluation of this team wwill be wwhether they improv consissteently throughout the wseason nd mqake the necewssary adjustments or not.Can they beat wyoming ?

keith are you still a season ticket holder? thought maybe you jumped ship already!!!

Keith said...

Still a season ticket holder. But, it's going to be a long season. Although, they tend to play better at home, I still don't think it will translate to many wins.
