Alright, we did it … and we did it fast. The UVa administration took no time to make an announcement on Al Groh’s future, letting the veteran coach of nine years go just 18 hours after the 42-13 home loss to Virginia Tech. And while I certainly don’t want anyone to get fired in this [...]

Early Thoughts On Stanford

A Hypothetical Question:
With his team sitting at 3-7 overall, dead last in the ACC Coastal Division and the media scrutiny mounting by the day, I think it’s fair to assume that the next two games for Virginia’s football team will be the last under head coach Al Groh. And while I could list off several other reasons [...]
