VIRGINIA FALLS TO GEORGIA TECH

The Virginia Cavaliers offensive woes continued last night in Atlanta as the Cavs fell to the Yellow Jackets 24-7. The defense played pretty well with the exception of a couple of big plays but they need to get a help from the offense. Virginia will have a tough time next week at Duke if the offense continues to play the way they been playing and they won't beat East Carolina the way they are playing right now. The Colonial Heights Colonials will be back in action tonight when the host the Armstrong Wildcats, the Wildcats come into tonight's game with a 3-0 record. In a couple of other games from this area L.C. Bird will be at Thomas Dale and James River will be at Matoaca. Down in Georgia tonight the Crawford County Eagles will be on the road against the Lamar County Trojans, the Trojans are undefeated entering tonight's game. The Nascar Nextel Cup Series will visit Dover this weekend, you can get caught up in somebody else's mess here pretty quick if you are not careful. I was going thru some photos that I had stored on the computer and I found this one that I thought everybody might like to see. MICKEY

The Appomattox Financial softball team suffered it's first loss of the season last night in game 1 of a double header losing to Attention To Detail 12-9, we just didn't hit the ball until it was to late in game 1. It game two AF rebounded with 12-4 win, we hit the ball well and played great defense in game two, AF record is now 5-1. The Jaguars defeated the Steelers last night 9-0 on Monday Night Football, not a whole lot of offense in this one but both defenses played very well.

REDSKINS AND PACKERS BOTH 0-2

Well the Washington Redskins and the Green Bay Packers are now both 0-2 after the Redskins fell to the Cowboys 27-10 and the Packers lost to the Saints 34-27. Green Bay was suppose to be bad but not the Redskins, the Skins had better win there next game or they will be digging themselves a pretty big whole. Tonight on Monday Night Football the Steelers will play the Jaguars, there are few members of the blog who root for the Steelers, at least they have a pretty good team to root for. Kevin Harvick won yesterday race at New Hampshire and now leads the race for the chase by 35 points over Chesterfields own Denny Hamlin and another Virginian is just 64 points out. Dale Jr is 81 points behind and needs to have a good race next weekend at Dover.

VIRGINIA EMBARRASSED ON HOMECOMING

The UVA football team was embarrassed yesterday on homecoming by the Western Michigan Broncos 17-10. I just don't know how a team can get so bad so fast, there is no excuse for Virginia to lose to Western Michigan at home. The first thing they need to do is to decide who is going to play QB, the offense doesn't seem to have any rythm and if you keep going from QB to QB it isn't going to get any better. I know the fans are growing restless with Coach Groh and all of his antics and his approach to the way he handles his players and the media. I am glad that I didn't go to that game yesterday and it looks like it is going to be a very long year for UVA this year. I did go down to East Carolina yesterday and I have to say at the half it wasn't looking to good for ECU down 20-7 to Memphis and yes the fans were getting a bit disgruntled. Then they kicked it off for the second half and it looked like East Carolina had picked up some new players at the break, the Pirates scored 28 unanswered points in the second half enroute to a 35-20 victory over Memphis and all the home fans went home happy. Next up for ECU is a home game against the West Virginia Mountaineers next saturday at 4:30pm on ESPN2. The Georgia Bulldogs continued there winning ways yesterday beating the UAB Blazers 34-0, the Bulldogs have looked pretty good all year. There were a few big upsets yesterday in college football but the biggest had to be the way Michigan beat Notre Dame 47-21, they dominated the Irish and the other big upset was Clemson beating Florida St 27-20. It looks like to me Virginia Tech is the best team in the ACC right now. Today in the NFL the New Orleans visits Green Bay, lets hope the Packers can score today and Redskins visit Dallas tonight in a gam both teams need to win, the Redskins are banged up so they could have pretty rough time in Dallas tonight. The first race of the chase is today at New Hampshire, I will be rooting for Hamlin and Earnhardt Jr. MICKEY

Well I want to thank everybody for all the cards and well wishes that I got.

I have posted a link below to some photos from last nights game. A couple of other games of note in this area, Varina beat Thomas Dale 9-7 and Mataoca beat Manchester 24-21.

Down at the beach First Flight improved there record to 2-2 on the season beating North Pitt 28-6, Manteo pounded Williamston 47-6 and Creswell beat Cape Hatteras 28-0. I am heading down to East Carolina tonight to see the Pirates play the Memphis Tigers, the Pirates are looking for the first win of the season after two tough losses.

At the beach tonight North Pitt is at First Flight, Manteo is at Williamston and Creswell is at Cape Hatteras to play the Hurricanes.
