Mike London signed a top 20 recruiting class for the University of Virginia on February 2nd, 2011. The class includes 17 players from the state of Virginia....much to the chagrin of the Agricultural school located in Blacksburg. Several of the soon to be 1st years will be on the field immediately! I can't wait for the Spring game this year, so much optimism and hope. Two 1st year players will be on the field for the Spring game. One a promising QB prospect from Hampton the other a promising defensive end from the '757". The 757 is fertile and Coach London is firmly entrenched there!
The only way to duplicate this recruiting success is by winning on the FIELD!!! The Cavs must win at least 6 games and go to a minor bowl this year. It's imperative for the rebuilding process and it will show the potential recruits that they will be successful here. The combination of academics and athletics would be such a wonderful recruiting tool. I'm hoping Coach London can get it done in 2011.....and a win over VT would be SWEET!!

Stanford won...Andrew Luck makes the right call..and did I mention Stanford won!
Touchdown Stanford......I'm not sure those two words will ever sound any better than they did on Monday night when the mighty Cardinal handled the castrated turkeys from VT!! Stanford ran the ball down their throats, threw it over top of them, and effectively neutralized Tire Rod...I mean Tyrod Taylor and exposed VT as a perennial fraud.....1-27 and counting versus real competition!! Now it's time for the rest of the ACC to get off their bums and take back the ACC from VT, a new Champion that's actually worthy of the ACC crown must step forward!
Andrew Luck, the quarterback who lead the destruction of Pud Foster...I mean...Bud Foster's overrated defense has decided to stay in school. He would have been the number 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft, making millions of dollars. Instead he will avoid the bad press of the looming NFL lockout, get his degree from an elite academic institution, and win the PAC-10...not bad Andrew and you made the right call!
Wait.....Hokie Nation....I think Stanford just scored again!!!!!!!!

It's been too long..........Go Stanford!!
The last few months have exposed the role that my blog plays in my life......there haven't been any posts! But it's a New Year and I'll try to stay consistent. The Holidays were gone in a flash, time with family and friends now make way for the grind! No sense in looking back on 2010, was a year to forget with the exception of Dionne and Sydney...so let's move forward.
The bowl season has been very mixed with way too many blow-outs and too few close games. I am hoping that trend continues tomorrow and Stanford rolls the intellectually challenged squad from Blacksburg. Speaking of intellectually challenged, how about the egg that Mike Vick laid on Tuesday vs. Minnesota......MVP my a$$!!!
Uva recruiting looks good, basketball team beat VT and has been battling, things are looking up in beautiful downtown Charlottesville!! Tampa Bay has a winning record and something to build on for the future, the Miami Heat are finding themselves.....wow.....my sports world is looking very bright and upbeat for 2011!!

Marc Verica, Fan Behavior, and Recruiting
Marc Verica had a very tough past month. The fifth year senior played poorly, throwing costly interceptions, making questionable decisions with the football, and really struggling to make the right reads. I was frustrated, the fan base was frustrated, the staff was frustrated, and most of all Marc was frustrated! Amongst all this frustration the fan base did some things that i find absurd.........
Let me be the first to say it's a free country and if you bought tickets or are a season ticket holder you have every right to an opinion and you may boo if you choose to. However, you have no right to question the young man's work ethic, his desire, or his integrity. He isn't the most gifted athlete but he work's his backside off and his teammates named him a captain!! That speaks volumes. As for the frustration, booing your own players isn't helping and it leaves a poor impression with visiting recruits. And the bottom line is this, this is someones son, he's still a kid/very young man, and he doesn't deserve to be treated with disdain! I'm very proud of the way Marc bounced back this weekend and played well. I believe he will do the same this week. I'm going to be cheering for you win or lose Marc, you're a very classy young man and I hope my son grows up with the same class and values your parents obviously instilled in you!
Recruiting is very quiet right now for the University of Virginia. I hope the recruits that have dropped by have enjoyed their visits. Hopefully they see the chance to play early and help rebuild this once proud program. Most importantly, Coach London is recruiting the Commonwealth hard, thank god for that. Time to take back the State from the clowns wearing orange and maroon!

Rebuilding takes time, Moss will help, and fantasy football blues
UVA has been dominated in it's first two ACC games. The quarterback play is not very good, poor tackling is crippling the offense, and the fan base is already questioning Mike London. Welcome to big time college football expectations at a school with limited success and a history of poor fan support. I'm a die hard fan, but the UVA fan base is full of whiners who turn their back as soon as possible. I loathe VT.......but they have loyal and rabid fans, UVA never will.........and that disappoints me....but Mike London is going to bring the program back to respectability. It takes time, he will recruit, and the QB play will improve.....I have faith......shame the fan base doesn't seem to!
The Patriots traded Randy Moss to the Vikings for a third round pick. Both Moss and Favre are excited about the trade and they should be. The Vikings will win 11 games and make the playoffs, dominating the NFC on their way to the Superbowl. The Patriots won't make the playoffs, Bellichek will look like a fool, and Tom Brady will simply ask WHY??????
Fantasy football is a complete crap shoot!! Half my team is hurt, the other half haven't earned their draft ranking. I find myself asking why do i waste valuable time on this worthless crap. And then I look at my two Championship rings and realize why I do this.........cause I love jewelry!!! :)

Donovan McNabb.....wins in Philly.....MV gets what was coming to him.....and time for UVA to beat Al Groh and GT!
I was extremely happy for Donovan McNabb today! His new team went to Philly, beat up his old team, and he was cheered by the fans! He handled himself with class and dignity...so did the City of Philadelphia!
Michael Vick may have several broken ribs. I enjoyed watching him get hit, so did my dog...hmm......I bet I wasn't the only one that felt that way!!!
Now that the FSU debacle is over, it's time for Mike London to concentrate on this week's opponent, Georgia Tech. Georgia Tech currently employs former UVA coach Al Groh as it's defensive coordinator, and he has effectively ruined their defense just as I predicted he would. This week UVA needs to take out all of their frustration from last week on Mr. Groh and his defense.........that would make Wahoo Nation feel MUCH better!

Uva's opening win, VT's ugly uniforms, and Boise State making my YEAR!!!!
Uva played a very solid game in Coach London's debut against Richmond. I was happy with the gameplan and for the most part the execution of it. The special teams weren't so special and this area needs to be shored up quickly. The crowd was good, the return of the State Flag to it's rightful home at THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA, and the player's attitude made for a wonderful opening week. The new uniforms were also a huge plus.......the future is very bright in C-Ville!!!
Speaking of uniforms, these black drag queen outfits VT wore should be burnt to a crisp in a massive bonfire! The vastly overrated "Hokie Nation" will tell you that the Halloween jerseys are the most awesome thing in the world. Well you're 0 and 1 in them so I hope you keep rocking them!!
About that loss that did my heart good.....Congrats to Boise State!!! They were well coached, very prepared, and smacked the Chokies right in the mouth, the way 10 of the last 11 top ten ranked teams the Chokies have faced has done!!! They exploited weaknesses that ACC coaches will exploit and for that I say thank you Boise, and perhaps that sorry empty trophy case up in Blacksburg should be removed.....perhaps located in C-Ville in about 4 more years!!!
