News, Notes, and Fan Discussion | |||||
UVA Bookstores Lends A Hand UVA Bookstores, the official Wahoo gear sponsor of TheSabre.com, is lending a hand to two Virginia non-profit organizations this fall. In Richmond, Meals on Wheels Serving Central Virginia is the sponsored group and in Waynesboro, the Waynesboro YMCA is the featured organization. Both groups will be raising funds by selling the 2008 UVA Bookstore Football Fan T-shirt as well as the 2008-2009 UVA Bookstore All-Sports T-shirt for just $10 each. Every t-shirt sold will help defray the costs for the more than 80% of Central Virginia clients unable to fully pay for nourishing home delivered meals (Meals on Wheels Serving Central Virginia) or will help go towards youth basketball scholarships as the YMCA turns no one away due to the inability to pay. In order to support these great causes by buying T-shirts, you'll need to make the purchase through specific channels. To support Richmond's Meals on Wheels Serving Central Virginia, T-shirts need to be purchased at the Meals on Wheels Office (1600 Willow Lawn Drive, Richmond, Virginia 23230, Monday - Friday 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Call Kristin Stokes or Kathleen Seal at 804-673-5035) or online at www.uvabookstores.com/mow. To support the Waynesboro YMCA, T-shirts need to be purchased at the Waynesboro YMCA (648 South Wayne Avenue, Waynesboro, Virginia 22980, 540-942-5107) or online at www.uvabookstores.com/ymca. Thank you for supporting Sabre sponsor UVA Bookstores in this community fundraising effort!
Football Fan Fest Ready For 2008
Virginia Athletic Media Relations Fan Fest is presented by the Virginia Athletics Foundation and is held prior to each UVa home football game as an alternative to tailgating for fans attending that day's game. It's designed as an opportunity for Virginia fans as well as fans of the Cavaliers' opponent to enjoy various activities and interact in a fan-friendly environment. Fan Fest is open to everyone at no cost and features games for youngsters and adults, a number of food options and live music. Fan Fest activities begin three hours before kickoff and end 45 minutes before the start of the game. For games beginning at noon, Fan Fest starts at 10 a.m. Fan Fest opens at 12:30 p.m. on Aug. 30 featuring live music. The Cavalier Marching Band, cheerleaders and Cavman will hold a pep rally on stage between the live music sets. The live music performers for every Fan Fest will be announced at a later date. In addition to live music, the outside activities include food vendors, a video games station featuring NCAA Football 2009, a skills challenge, a target toss, an agility run, an autograph station featuring representatives of UVa teams other than football and an area for face painting and face tattoos. A Cool-Off Zone will also be provided for early season games with cool air circulating for the comfort of fans if the weather is warm. The gymnasium in Virginia's Aquatic and Fitness Center that has been used for Fan Fest in year's past will also be used again this year. Activities inside the Aquatic and Fitness Center include a target toss, the bounce house, an ESPN TV games projection and a photo station featuring player cut outs.

Blog Banter: First Annual Reader Program Ranking So, after much number crunching, I've compiled your submissions into a composite reader program rankings. According to you guys (and the law of averaging), this is how the UVa programs stacked up against each other last season. This is an interesting list. Your (averaged) rankings and my rankings are usually pretty close ... almost always within 4 spots. But there are some larger differences a few times: women's track (6 spots), men's track (6 spots), and baseball (5 spots). No. 1 on the readers' list? Men's tennis. Check out the full reader rankings! | Check out Rob Mahini's rankings! Keep in touch with all the hot topics around Virginia athletics on The Good Ol' Blog.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 44 - July 5, 2002 Sammis Commits Gordie Sammis wanted to wait until today to announce his decision to commit to the University of Virginia. Unfortunately for him, someone in the recruiting world jumped the gun and reported it earlier in the week. No matter though, Sammis went ahead and confirmed his commitment with Mike Farrell of Rivals.com and Doug Doughty of The Roanoke Times this week. Sammis, a 6-5, 290-pound offensive lineman from Immaculata High School in Somerville, New Jersey, is just another piece to the offensive line puzzle of the future for UVa. Virginia desperately needed to sign some big time offensive linemen in this class, and they've gotten two huge prospects in Sammis and Marshall Ausberry. Last recruiting season the Cavaliers added some big names as well, including D.J. Bell (6-4, 298), Ron Darden (6-4, 315), Brick Ferguson (6-5, 250) and Damian Spradlin (6-3, 290). All were listed as three-star recruits or better by Rivals.com. While all of these players look to get early playing time at Virginia, the Cavaliers still needed to add a few more top linemen this class in order to have the depth and talent they need to succeed at the next level. Commitments from Sammis and Ausberry have the Hoos on the right track.
