A Little More on Pruett

Still no official word from U.Va. on the hiring of Bob Pruett , but the more I read about his hire , the more I like it. Pruett was a head coach for Groveton and Gar-Field High Schools, both in Northern Virginia before he moved on to being a coach at varying levels of the college game. Between that and...

Bob Pruett [to be] Named Defensive Coordinator

There's nothing official yet, but according to the Daily Progress , former Marshall Head Coach Bob Pruett will return from retirement to lead the Cavalier defense. Some quick facts I've gleaned in the hour or so since I learned of this: He was the head coach at Marshall from 1996-2004. 6 MAC...

A Month From Hell

A week into February and I don't think I've quite gotten over January. January was not a good month. From the problems with the football team (falling apart at the last minute to Texas Tech, academic casualties, Mike London leaving for UofR, a lowly-ranked recruiting class (though that's...

Maybe Billy McMullen Can Keep Me In The Pro Game?

After my post yesterday about Gibbs's departure having the potential to eliminate pro sports from my life altogether, I read an interesting bit of news today: The Redskins have apparently signed former UVA wide receiver stand-out Billy McMullen . That link is to the post on TheSabre where I first...

Joe Gibbs Resigns

I stopped paying attention to the redskins around the time Joe Gibbs left the 'skins the first time (though it had nothing to do with his departure). I picked them up again as a pseudo-favorite (although I still claim a mild hatred for pro sports) when he came back. He was, after all, the coach that...

Gator Bowl Recap

People have asked me why I haven't posted much anything about the Gator Bowl. I just really haven't had much to say. We played very well. We still lost. Bummer. Another Sewell injury where, if he hadn't been injured, I fully believe we win the game (same thing happened when I traveled to...

Weird Bowl Happenings

I had better not blog about this game too often , but the Holiday Bowl just had one of the more strange happenings I've ever seen. The Arizona State QB was almost sacked, but instead made some kind of play (its debatable whether he fumbled, lateralled the ball, or threw the ball [poorly; and backwards...

Academic Casualties?

I could only read the stories about FSU and Tennessee so many times without really wondering when we'd hear something about our own players. It seems like every year we get a bit of bad news around bowl time - though this is certainly not something limited to the Cavaliers. Reports are abundant ...

That's What I Was Saying...

Mike Ingalls (the fan formerly known as BoardHost) just made a rare post to TheSabre's Good Ol' Blog talking about why the fans should be supporting the team for this bowl game instead of belly-aching about a myriad of other issues that do not concern this team. I’d like to weigh in and say that...

Why People Aren't Going to the Gator Bowl

The local NBC station (NBC29) reported last night that a poll on their website asked why people were not going to the Gator Bowl this year. As of right now, here are the results: The trip is too expensive - 24% I'm upset about the new Scott Stadium seating policy for next year that requires a donation...
