Oregon is explosive...

The HOOS 19...BYU 16

It's been too long and I do apologize.  Things have been hectic lately but I'm back.  Same could be said for the University of Virginia's football team.  The Special Teams and Defense came up huge at a soggy Scott Stadium to edge the Cougars by 3.  The pressure promised from new defensive coordinator     Jon Tenuta was delivered in waves...or was that the drainage running down the stadium steps...

While the offense struggled throughout the day, the other phases shined.  The defense held BYU's hurry up attack to a measly 3.5 ypp and a paltry 3.9 ypc.  The kicking game was solid including multiple punts inside the 10 and a 53 yard field goal.  For once in the past several years the special teams was close to special.

There were negatives from this game, two costly turnovers that resulted in points as well as several drops and missed blocking assignments.  I'm sure the coaches are already breaking down film of the areas in question.  For a first game against a quality opponent though, I'll gladly take this weather-delayed win.  Most important of all, Sydney experienced the first of many Saturdays in section 111 and he made his Daddy proud with how quickly he picked up the fight song!  Go Hoos...bring on the Ducks!!

Congratulations to the Miami Heat

King James and the Miami Heat won their second consecutive NBA Championship this week.  It was a hard fought series with the very battle tested San Antonio Spurs.  I enjoyed each and every game and really appreciated how well both teams competed.  I'm not sure if Miami can win three in a row but I am sure that King James has proven the doubters and haters wrong.  He is the best basketball player in the world and if you still don't see that then you're not paying attention and you have no idea how to watch and dissect an NBA game.  He is the best all around player...end of discussion...watch the tape!

Nice opening win for Uva Baseball...French Open tennis...

The Hoos won a pitcher's duel Friday 2 to 1.  They will play again tonight at 6 PM.  I'm hoping they pull out a series win this weekend so that I can take Sydney up on Friday for the first game of the Super Regional.  As a side note i'm really pulling for Oklahoma this weekend...wonder why! :)

Sloane Stephens played well this morning and advanced to the 4th round at the French Open.  I'm really hoping that someone beats Nadal...really tired of him winning this event every year!  Not sure if Novak or Roger have enough to beat him though and there really isn't anyone else that can challenge him.

Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Finals is tonight and the Birdman has been suspended.  David Stern obviously wanting a Game 7 in Miami on Monday night.  Look for Indiana to pound the ball inside and win easily.  King James will deliver in Game 7 though and then we are looking at a Spurs vs. Heat epic showdown!!

Congratulations...

The Uva men's tennis team won the National Championship today by defeating UCLA.  I'm proud of the team and their efforts as they went a perfect 30 and 0 on the year!  Now let's kick VT's ass in baseball tomorrow at the ACC Tournament!! WAHOOWA

ACC Baseball Tournament...

The University of Virginia has a first round matchup with VT on Wednesday.  Coming off a series win at UNC has the team prepared and ready to make a run at the ACC Tournament crown.  Check back later this week for more updates!
