Five takeaways from UVA football’s 38-7 loss at Florida State
A year ago, Virginia and Florida State played a game that sent the two programs in opposite directions.

The Seminoles came […]

UVA basketball player profile: Jurian Dixon is chasing the March he never got
Jurian Dixon’s first college season ended with the ball in his hands. On April 3, 2025, UC Irvine trailed Chattanooga 85-84 in overtime of the NIT championship at Hinkle Fieldhouse.

Five takeaways from UVA basketball’s 82-73 exhibition loss to Vanderbilt
College basketball does not usually start in September, and it almost never starts outdoors. On Sunday, Virginia opened its preseason at Credit One Stadium in Charleston, S.C., as part of The LinkU Invitational, the earliest college basketball game of the year and the first played outdoors since 2022. For most of the afternoon, roughly half […]
Five takeaways from UVA football’s 42-3 bounce-back win over Delaware
A week after a deflating 38-27 loss to West Virginia in Charlotte, Virginia came home to Scott Stadium seeking redemption. However, this Saturday was no normal game.

UVA alum breaks LPGA nine-hole scoring record
Former Virginia golfer Lauren Coughlin birdied each of her first nine holes on Saturday to shoot a 9-under 26, the lowest nine-hole score in LPGA history. It’s also the second time ever that an LPGA player has birdied every hole on a single nine. Coughlin’s birdie run came to an end with a par on […]

After suffering another gut wrenching loss in the Queen City, the Virginia Cavaliers have turned the page, and will close their non-conference slate with Delaware.

What to expect from Virginia basketball wing Christian Harmon this season
There’s no better time than after a demoralizing Virginia football loss to start looking ahead to Virginia basketball season.

West Virginia owned Charlotte in more ways than one Saturday night
Tony Elliott and the Virginia Cavaliers took their first loss of the 2026 campaign on Saturday night in Charlotte, North Carolina, falling to West Virginia, 38-27, as the Mountaineers brought the physicality to the ’Hoos the same way UVA had done to NC State and Norfolk State to kick off the season. As much of […]
Why UVA basketball’s Chance Mallory has breakout potential
Chance Mallory represents the kind of story that is reminiscent of a bygone era. Mallory committed to Virginia on Sept. 20, 2024. Twenty-seven days later, Tony Bennett retired. In most recruitments, that is where the chances of Mallory playing college ball in Charlottesville would have ended. Mallory re-opened his recruitment on Oct. 29, considered Tennessee, […]
A look into Todd DeSorbo and Virginia’s swim team dynasty
It’s no secret that the Virginia Cavaliers women’s swim team has established itself as an unrivaled dynasty — due not only to generational talents, but outstanding leadership. Head coach Todd DeSorbo took the helm in 2017 and, as of this March, has led the program to six consecutive national championships. Just this month, DeSorbo was […]

Deep diving into UVA’s defensive line ahead of West Virginia
The defense has been nothing short of spectacular so far. Two games into 2026, Virginia has allowed 11 points.

Five takeaways from UVA football’s 59-3 rout of Norfolk State
Michael Vick had not set foot in Scott Stadium since Oct. 2, 1999, when he went 7-of-9 for 222 yards and a 60-yard touchdown in a 31-7 Virginia Tech win. He came back Friday night as Norfolk State’s second-year head coach and found things much more difficult this time around. Virginia routed the Spartans in […]

Beau Pribula, who played the first two quarters, was […]
Previewing UVA basketball’s non-conference schedule
With under two months remaining until Virginia men’s basketball tips off at JPJ, we officially have a non-conference schedule.

According to Torvik’s preseason projections, five opponents rank in the top 50, headlined by No. […]

How Virginia football put the nation on notice with a 23-play drive against NC State
With 4:59 remaining in the third quarter on Saturday afternoon, NC State backup quarterback Will Wilson took a designed run up the middle and into the end zone.

Stock up, Stock down from UVA football’s destruction of NC State
