Return to Louisville: Perris Jones continues to strive for life goals
November 9th, 2023, that is the last time UVA took the trip to play at ACC school Louisville. Virginia went 3-9 that season, the first season after the 2022 tragedy. Up to that point Virginia was 2-7 going into #11 in the country Louisville. It was a Thursday night game, so primetime on ESPN, with […]
Beating FSU Is a Springboard, Not a Summit
Virginia football earned national attention Friday night with a 46–38 double-overtime victory over No. 8 Florida State. Chandler Morris’s dual-threat ability, J’Mari Taylor’s punishing runs, and Ja’Son Prevard’s game-changing interception turned the Cavaliers into instant storylines, making headlines and capturing the respect of the college football world. For a program that has long fought for […]
What a Night in Scott Stadium: My Experience at UVA vs. FSU
Friday night in Charlottesville was one of those nights I’ll never forget. From the moment we parked at Fontaine and hopped on the shuttle, everything about the experience felt special. The ride in was smooth and easy, and the best part? Sitting in the back with Jay, his son Jayton, my son Mason, and getting […]
Virginia Football: Proving Themselves Right
When Virginia showed up at ACC Media Day, they were pegged 14th in the preseason poll. Nobody outside of Charlottesville expected much more than another rebuilding year. Inside the program, the tone was very different. Chandler Morris didn’t transfer to UVA merely to be competitive — he came to chase something bigger. Coach Tony Elliott’s […]
Hoos in the Pros: Tracking UVA Stars in the Pros and Beyond
I would define the 4-yr HOOS fan as a student who attends some combination of football, basketball, baseball, occasional minor sports, and maybe even women’s sports before the final walk down the Lawn. The majority, I’m guessing, dismiss images of Scott Stadium, JPJ, Davenport, and Klockner after graduation as they seek employment, get married, buy […]
Famous in Our Own Minds Pick’em – Week 4
If you’d followed the boys last week, you’d have gone 6-3 and made yourself a nice little stack of cash. Not bad for three guys who are only famous in their own minds. Season standings: Jeff: 6-3 (2-1 every single week like it’s his job)Jay: 5-4 (won 5 of his last 6, aka the hot […]
What can Virginia do to pull off a huge ranked win over Florida State Friday night?

Pack Scott Stadium: Hoos Need a Full House Friday Night vs Florida State
Students: Stay Loud, Stay Late First and foremost, we need the students. Fill the student section. Fill the Hill. Bring your roommates, your friends, your neighbors, and spend your Friday night together inside Scott Stadium for three and a half hours. Do not leave at halftime. This is a primetime game against a top-10 opponent. […]
UVA Must Limit the Deep Ball to Have a Shot Against Florida State
Through three weeks, one theme has been clear for Virginia’s defense: the Cavaliers have been vulnerable to passes over the top. Both William & Mary and Stanford exposed the back end of the secondary with big plays, often the result of miscommunication between corners and safeties. Receivers found themselves wide open downfield not because of […]
Should Hoos Fans Worry About Will Bettridge?
Fans don’t like to think about kicking until they absolutely have to. Unfortunately, it’s becoming hard to ignore. Senior kicker Will Bettridge has already missed three field goals this season—including a chip-shot 25-yarder against Stanford. I’ve seen kids make similar kicks routinely on ESPN College Gameday while being heckled by Pat McAfee, and they aren’t […]
