SabreMail Contest, Week #16 Most recent contest: What's your New Year's Resolution? That's right Sabre-heads, the weekly SabreMail contest is back after a brief hiatus! Since this is my first contest after signing on at the Sabre, I thought I'd set up a little something special for the winner. In past weeks, the winner has received a free one-month subscription to Sabre Edge, our premium content covering University of Virginia athletics. This week's SabreMail winner gets a bonus prize as well! The bonus? A prize pack from one of music's newest up-and-coming stars: Niki Barr. Niki writes her own music, rocks out on the guitar, and puts on great live shows. Her tours have taken her to Japan, Alaska, Singapore, Diego Garcia the Balkans, Western Europe the UK and Central Asia, as well as around the United States. Niki often plays shows in and around the Balitmore/Washington D.C. area, where many of you Hoos are located. I've seen Niki play on several occasions. Simply put: She's Awesome! Check out some up-coming shows at the following locations. Niki has quickly become a hot topic in the music industry. So get to work on this SabreMail contest and you could win a copy of Niki's latest CD "Lush" and a promotional copy of her DVD "Wasted Time." If you don't win, don't worry. You can download Niki's music at places like iTunes, MusicMatch, Napster, MusicNow and many more! So without further delay this week's contest ... In honor of our prize pack, Write a short song lyric about new Virginia basketball coach Dave Leitao. For example to the tune of The Devil Went Down to Georgia:
Dave Leitao went down to Virginia, he was looking for an ACC title to steal. Make sure your lyrics are clean and fun. Please send your entry to [email protected] with the header: SabreMail Contest. Thanks, and good luck!

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne UVa will not host any official visitors this weekend, as the January weekends of the 20th and the 27th will be the two big recruiting weekends. The Cavs have 20 verbal commitments and could potentially sign about 27 players in this year's recruiting class. The in-state targets list got a little bit smaller in the past week, with a pair of in-state prospects making their verbal commitments since last Friday. Last weekend, Highland Springs (VA) linebacker Jarrell Miller verbally committed to UNC over Florida, Tennessee, Virginia and Virginia Tech. Also, Robinson (Fairfax, VA) athlete Lucas Caparelli chose Wake Forest following his official visit there last weekend. A new target to the list is Winston Churchill (Bethesda, MD) safety Matt Leemhuis. The 6-2, 192-pound prospect made an official visit to Cal last weekend and will likely take an official to UVa before making a decision. Leemhuis attended UVa's summer camp, but was only offered officially by Al Groh a few weeks ago. A Washington Post second-team all-metro selection, Leemhuis will decide between the Golden Bears and the Cavaliers. In his senior season, he tallied around 100 tackles and had three interceptions as Winston Churchill went 5-5 on the year. West Springfield (VA) quarterback Peter Lalich did very well during last weekend's national junior combine. The 6-5, 235-pound junior signal caller, who has official offers from Virginia and Ohio and is drawing interest from Arizona State, Michigan, Nebraska and Notre Dame, among others, was named to the first-team all-combine squad. Also impressive was Orange (VA) quarterback Bradley Starks. A good athlete, Starks could play wide receiver on the next level. He played quarterback and receiver down at the combine. At Orange High, Starks is the quarterback and a defensive back.

Post of the Week
Subject: I do have realistic expectations for the season, but the next 4 games...
Our next 4 games are very winnable: Now obviously we could lose all these as well, particularly the middle two games. But it is also very concievable we win all 4. Honestly, if we go 2-2 and are sitting 3-3 in the conference, I will be pretty happy. But can you imagine, the positive press we would get, if we win all 4 of these games. We would be sitting 5-1 in the conference, (mostly a result of a favorable early season ACC schedule), and all the headlines will talk about how we were picked last, but are sitting 5-1 in the conference, on how Leitao is turning things around fast, etc. Great pub for recruiting, and getting a great vibe going for the program.
However after that it just gets brutal.
Then two winnable games:
Then another brutal stretch: I think there is no way we get enough wins to be even a bubble team for the NCAA this year. BUT, we have a great opportunity in front of us, to get off to a great start in the conference, something we haven't seen in years. And get alot of good pub for our young coach and program. After these next 4 it gets brutal fast, but the opportunity is there young Hoos, sieze the day! To read the entire thread, Edge subscribers can click the link below.
ACC Action Heating Up for Cavaliers The Virginia men's basketball team has shifted into the ACC portion of its 2005-06 schedule. After just one December conference game, the rest of the Cavs' opponents essentially are league foes (Longwood being an exception). Virginia started January's ACC battles with a win and a loss. Please check out the stories below if you'd like to look back on the Cavaliers latest ACC games against Clemson (a 64-58 win) and Florida State (an 87-82 OT loss) ...
