Help Camp Wahoo With Its Food Drive
Sabre fans, Camp Wahoo is one of the largest tailgate groups around when it comes to UVa Athletics. Many of the group's members post here at The Sabre on a regular basis. This Saturday is a perfect chance to visit the pre-game fun and help a good cause! This Saturday, Nov. 1, 2008, the Camp Wahoo Tailgate Group will be holding a food drive to benefit the Thomas Jefferson Area Food Bank. Camp Wahoo is collecting non-perishable food items at their usual tailgate location (next to Clark Hall on the corner of McCormick Road and Cabell Drive; the bridge that crosses over US29 just after the Curry School is directly across from the tailgate spot). Donations can be dropped off starting at 9 a.m. and will be collected up until kickoff of the UVa-Miami Homecoming football game. The upcoming holiday season is a very hard time for many in our area, and with soaring food prices, more and more families will have a difficult time putting food on the table this year. Please join The Sabre in supporting this drive on Nov. 1! Help Camp Wahoo and the Thomas Jefferson Area Food Bank make certain that no one in the local community goes hungry over the holidays. Thank you!

This Week In Recruiting A decision from Oscar Smith (Chesapeake, VA) senior wide receiver Tim Smith could come at any time. The 6-1, 190-pound prospect took an official visit to the University of Louisville on the weekend of Oct. 18 and that will be the final official visit he takes, head coach Rich Morgan told TheSabre.com on Sunday night. Virginia and West Virginia also hosted Smith on official visits and those programs join Louisville as Smith's finalists. For more on this situation, be sure to check out the Sabre EDGE update posted this morning. Coach Morgan discusses Smith's recruitment as well as the outstanding senior season he has produced. In nine games, Smith has tallied more than 40 receptions for more than 1,000 yards and 15 scores. Coach Morgan also discusses Virginia commit Perry Jones, a 5-9, 185-pound senior who is a major piece of the Tigers' program. Jones, a tailback and linebacker for Coach Morgan, has gotten the job done on both sides of the ball this season. Oscar Smith is undefeated this season and currently ranked in the top 15 in the USA Today's Super 25. Virginia wide receiver commit Tyree Watkins, a star prospect out of Camden, New Jersey, was expected to make an official visit to Virginia this coming weekend, but after speaking with primary recruiter Mike Groh on Sunday night he has decided to reschedule for the weekend of the Clemson game. Watkins, one of Virginia's most highly rated commits in the 2009 class, discusses how solid his commitment to the Cavs is and where he stands on the recruiting trail. Is Watkins more solid in his commitment to UVa? Check out the EDGE later today to find out. We'll also check in on other University of Virginia commitments. In particular, we'll check in with quarterback Ross Metheny, who unfortunately was forced to sit out Sherando's (Stephens City, VA) win on Friday night due to a knee injury. The extent of the injury is unknown at this time, but we'll try to find out more from the talented signal caller.
UVa continues to inch toward closing out its 2009 football recruiting class. The men's basketball program has been busy as well, hosting a number of junior recruits in recent weeks. We'll try to catch up with some of those targets for reflections on their experience in Charlottesville and more, so stay tuned for more on the men's basketball recruiting front.
Chris Horne, our resident recruiting expert, provides updates throughout the week for Edge subscribers about UVa's commitments and recruiting targets in football and men's basketball.

SabreMail History | |||||
Issue No. 161 - Oct. 22, 2004 George Welsh never liked to use the phrase "big game," because what did that make the other ones -- "small games?" Al Groh argues that the only big games are championship games. You can't play a "big game" in October.
Still, both coaches have a point. Any game played in mid-October shouldn't be built up too much. Like Groh said, it was just one game. One ugly, sorry, embarrassing, dreadful, stinking game. There are more games to be played this season -- six, including a bowl. And if things go well -- if the Cavs bounce back and play up to their potential, which is still considerable -- there will be other big games this season. Nov. 13 vs. Miami. Nov. 27 at Virginia Tech. Virginia's shot at an ACC title may be determined in those two matchups. Moreover, if you believe that Groh is building a championship-caliber program here, there will be other big games in the future. Oodles of big games. After all, big-time programs play in big games all the time. So while Florida State may have been the first "big game" for UVa under Groh, somehow I doubt it will be the last.
