So Long to the Sports Year
Of course, the Cavaliers' season-long success in baseball was part of what was a pretty good year for the Hoos in athletics. Among the programs finding great success in 2005-06 with NCAA Tournament apperances: men's and women's tennis, men's and women's lacrosse, men's and women's soccer, baseball, women's golf, men's and women's cross country, and men's and women's swimming. The men's and women's basketball teams both earned postseason berths in the NIT and WNIT, respectively, while the football team won the Music City Bowl. The best of the best was the men's lacrosse team, which rolled to a 17-0 record and the NCAA Championship. The team won on average by more than 8 goals as the Hoos dominated nearly everyone they faced. In fact, just one game - a one-goal win against Princeton - was decided by less than four goals. In short, this group was simply amazing. All in all, that's a solid sports year for Cavalier fans. Count me among those with one thought in mind: Can't wait for 2006-07 to get started!

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne All 10 commitments are expected to be in Charlottesville tomorrow for UVa's Blue Chip day. Those players will certainly help the staff try and reel in the uncommitted prospects that plan to be there as well. Those players include Spring Valley (Columbia, S.C.) TE Mason Cloy, Mount Lebanon (Pittsburgh, PA) TE Andrew Devlin, Highland Springs CB/ATH Cris Hill, Stone Bridge OL Andrew Nuss, and Salesianum (Wilmington, DE) TE Andrew Szczerba. Stay tuned on Sunday for reaction from Saturday's event, which UVa hopes to be as successful as it has been in years past.
The 6-2, 215-pound Bivens projects as a linebacker at Virginia. With an effort toward getting faster and more athletic at the linebacker position, keeping Bivens in the fold is big for the staff. While he only played varsity football his sophomore and senior seasons (skipped his junior year to concentrate on baseball), he is regarded as one of UVa's top signees because of his athleticism and ability. Bivens plans to play both football and baseball for UVa. He will enroll next month. In what would not be good news, there remains serious concern over Glassboro (N.J.) linebacker George Johnson, Jr. and if he will be accepted by UVa Admissions. The 6-5, 215-pound Johnson is a fast, athletic linebacker prospect who has an excellent frame to add and carry more weight. If he is not accepted by UVa, there is a good chance he would never play for the Hoos. Johnson has qualified in terms of NCAA standards. Stay tuned to TheSabre.com for further updates on Johnson as well as other 2006 signees.
Deep Run DE Sean Gottschalk and Vance (Charlotte, N.C.) S Rico Bell are two 2006 signees who will enroll at UVa next month. After a winter and spring full of training, Gottschalk says he is in the best shape of his life at 6-5, 265 pounds. The 5-11, 193-pound Bell recently captured the 4A state title in the 100 meters. Bell, who projects as a safety at Virginia, matched a meet record with an outstanding time of 10.48 seconds. Check out the EDGE articles on each prospect.

News, Notes and Fan Discussion | |||||
Thread of the Week Sabre Edge subscribers were treated to a trip down memory lane this week as Sabre-ites discussed some of the memorable moments of Al Groh's tenure. Here's a look at a few of the flashbacks.
Subject: Today's Top 10 List -- The Second Edition
1. The afternoon during which Parham, Brooks, and Johnson committed. Some other moments just missing the list: McMullen's stumbling into the endzone on an end-around; Heath Miller's reach for the pylon against Clemson; Lundy's first fumble at Tech two years ago; Weeks's KO returns for TDs against UNC; Groh's "chess" comment; the day Golden came on board; the day we knew that we had lost Jarrett; Alex Seals's hit and caused fumble against USC; Pearman's catch against Tech two years ago; the holding call that brought back Pearman's long run at the start of the second half of the Boise Bowl (as mad as I have ever been over a call, I admit); Hagans's escapes (there is no single one) versus FSU last year; Hamilton's interception to end last year's bowl game; Stupar's return to practice after his surgery; the called-back TD return by Canty in the NCS game; Lyles's hit in last year's UMD game; the atmosphere at Doak in our last game there. I am sure that I have left others off.
Subject: The UNC game in 2004 where Elton Brown, Heath Miller, and others ... Posted by: 70UVAHOO on Thu Jun 8 2006 4:00:47 PM Message: cleared the way for Wali Lundy to walk into the end zone from eight yards away early in the second quarter for UVA to go up 21-0. On that play, UVA's line pushed every UNC defender on the righthand side of the snap into the end zone. Lundy could have crab-walked in if he'd chosen to. That was one of the most dominant plays in one of the most dominant games I've ever seen.
