Happy Father's Day! The month of June rolls on without University of Virginia sports so there are probably plenty of UVa dads out there going through withdrawal. That's OK. It is only 78 days until kickoff! So dads, while you eagerly await the start of a new Hoo year, we all want to take a minute to thank you for being you. With Father's Day on Sunday, we are reminded of just how important dear ol' dad is in our lives. Personally, my father has been a rock solid part of my life - helping with advice, moving, cars, and just about anything else you can think of. So, thanks dad! Happy Father's Day and I love you! As for the rest of you fathers, have a good weekend and enjoy a Happy Father's Day on Sunday.

This Week In Recruiting By Chris Horne The first edition of TheSabre.com's Top 30 was released this week. In this Pre-Summer edition, UVa has six commitments from the state's top 30 prospects including five from the top 20. Headlining the list is West Springfield quarterback Peter Lalich. The 6-5, 230-pound signal caller completed 189 of 331 passes (57%) for 2,671 yards with 22 touchdowns and 12 interceptions last season as a junior. He was named first-team all-Patriot district and earned honorable mention Washington Post All-Metro honors for his performance. A true pocket passer with prototypical pocket passer size and a strong arm, Lalich chose UVa over offers from Miami, Michigan, N.C. State and UCLA, among others.
Another UVa linebacker target - Culpeper's Terence Fells-Danzer - comes in at No. 5. The fifth spot was honestly the toughest to rank with so many quality prospects in the mix. There were prospects with significantly more offers than Terence, but his performance on tape was what set him apart in my mind. At 6-1, 230 pounds, he combines a good build with outstanding athleticism and speed. He's tough as well, as he played through last season with an ankle injury. Fells-Danzer and Williams (should he end up at LB) will both bring an upgrade in speed and athleticism to UVa's linebacker position. Yorktown RB Max Milien, a player whose talent had Al Groh visiting Yorktown several times, and Gloucester OLB Aaron Taliaferro round out the UVa commits in the top 20. The 6-1, 200-pound Milien comes in at No. 12, while the 6-2, 220-pound Taliaferro comes in at No. 20. The final UVa commitment on the list is Jared Detrick. The 6-2, 230-pound Woodside standout is at No. 27 on the list. He's very raw, but he displays a good combination of size and speed. UVa will likely not stop there, as the staff is in serious contention for a number of other Top 30 recruits including Hylton OL William Alvarez (No. 6), Stone Bridge OL Andrew Nuss (No. 8), Highland Springs CBs Cris Hill (No. 9) and C.J. Fleming (No. 15), among others. Certainly, both UVa and Virginia Tech are rebounding nicely from last year's out-of-state invasion of in-state recruits.

Post of the Week
Posted by: heater on Wed Jun 14 2006 10:47:05 AM Message: My 9-year old son is trying out lacrosse for the first time this year at Charlottesville's Seminole League. They're running a skills camp each evening this week. So far, I'm really impressed with the instruction and the way the volunteer coaches handle the kids. Last night, I was delighted to see that our guest speaker was none other than Dom Starsia. He said all the right things to the kids (aged 4-13). At the end, he put in a big plug for academics, saying that most of the top lacrosse schools were also very good academic schools, so you had to do your best in school to increase your options for college. On the way home, I asked my son what he could remember from Dom's talk, and he said, "Yeah, you can't be a great lacrosse player 2 hours a day and a knucklehead the other 22 hours". Heartfelt thanks to Dom Starsia for giving back to the community.

New to the U? Visit the Sabre's Wahoowa! Section A post from TulaneU (who has since switched to TulaneUVa - nice work!) raised this interesting question this week on the football board ...
Subject: Transfer Student from Tulane University I am a rising third year transfer student from Tulane. I am majoring in Mechanical Engineering, and as you may or may not know, Tulane cut almost the entire engineering department citing hurricane damage and financial losses as the reason. I chose UVA first and foremost for it's national repuatation, and as much as I hate to admit it, it's usnews ranking. Second, UVA actually has a reputable athletic's program, and I am a HUGE, HUGE college football fan. Lastly, you guys could not have a more beautiful campus. As soon as I set foot on grounds, I felt like I was in a whole different world. The point of this thread is that I want to be ease my transition into UVA, so I am asking you to please tell me any FOOTBALL traditions, anything I should/need to know, history of UVA athletics, your most hated rival. Remember, I am from Louisiana where LSU and the SEC in general is everything. I have always been a fan of the SEC and ACC personally, so please, show me what the ACC has to offer and show me some good football UVA!
There's info on the Good Old Song, Beta and Seal (if you don't know, you should read about it), and info on a Wahoo. You can read up on the Cavalier Mascot and see the evolution of the school's athletics logo. There are also two renditions of the Good Old Song to listen too!
