I’m about 20 minutes outside of Charlottesville, riding with former esteemed colleague Dave Fairbank of the Newport News Daily Press.
We’ve passed the time talking about Chairman Groh, the fun of Paul Johnson, etc.
When I get to the press box, I’ll start posting some notes.
In the meantime, tell me about your favorite places to go on the road, stadiums, cities, eateries, etc.

Wommack did beat out Willie in the DC fantasy league by 7/10’s of a point. You got that going for you.

Big, this game should help move Wommacks standings in the DC fantasy league. I can plug in the numbers as soon as the boxscore comes out. Aren’t computers wonderful.

5 point spread. lol. thank you oddsmakers.
now for all you bettors. fla will not cover 23 over miss st. first the off is not that good. second, it’s their old coach. they will win but only by 11-16. take it to the bank.

What happened to Roddy Jones? Allen gets all the pitches these days. Allen is great but I thought Roddy had a good year last year (esp. @ UGA). Maybe Allen has seniority.

Big you want Courso to pick the opposition. When he picks us, we lose.

All the rain on the TV screen reminds me of the little girl from Poltergist “There Here”. Yes, UVA GT is here and it ain’t close. It will be hard to pass and comeback for the WHOHAAA Waahoa the WTFevers.

the past 2 weeks the d has done pretty well. we gave up a few big plays but we stepped up and kept them out of the endzone when we had too. if we play like this, we win out no problem. need a miami loss somewhere to win the conf. if that doesn;t happen, a top 6 bcs ranking is probable with all the games left. iowa will lose tonight too

That’s a good lead, that’s NOT the game. Chan could easily have given away twice this lead in the time we have left.

Big, I agree about FL not covering that point spread. No way SEC refs let Miss St. win that game though. SEC wants to gaurantee that they get a team in the NC game. We saw that last week with the call against Ark.

well i just want them to be realistic. they all picked miami. there is always one who picks against tech. if we were playing ga, fine. but there was no way we were gonna lose this game.

That’s the kind of kick that almost put VT back in the game last week. What’s up with that crap?
