A Tribute To "Bullet" Bill Bill Dudley, former Virginia and NFL football star, died last week at the age of 88. Dudley had a stroke and was admitted to Lynchburg General Hospital before passing away. At UVa, "Bullet" Bill Dudley had a standout career. In his senior season, he contributed to 206 of the team's 279 points and the Hoos finished 8-1. Dudley was named an All-American and winner of the Maxwell Award (given to the nation's top player); he also placed fifth in the vote for the Heisman Trophy. Dudley was the Pittsburgh Steelers' top draft choice in 1942, the 1946 NFL MVP, and a four-time All-Pro selection. He was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame (1956) and the Pro Football Hall of Fame (1966). The Dudley Award, given to the state of Virginia's top college player of the year, started in 1990 with The Downtown Club of Richmond and was named for Dudley. The Sabre set up a tribute page to "Bullet" Bill Dudley where you can read some of the stories last week and view photos and videos we've tracked down of the Cavalier star. Check it out. |

This Week In Recruiting DeMatha Catholic (Hyattsville, MD) Kyrrel Latimer did not sign a letter of intent, but he remains committed to the Cavaliers. The 5-11, 190-pound safety prospect likely will attend prep school and sign with Virginia in February of 2011. Latimer's situation was the only Signing Day surprise for Virginia, which signed 17 players last Wednesday. Massive offensive tackle Morgan Moses is one of the 17 signees. The 6-6, 336-pound prospect re-signed with the Cavaliers after showing interest in Florida, LSU, Ohio State and South Carolina. Moses, who signed with Virginia last February but failed to qualify, will return to Fork Union Military Academy this week in hopes of attaining the necessary qualifying standards. Be sure to check out last week's EDGE analysis on the class. On Monday, we'll take a look at the other classes in the ACC with the ACC Sports Journal's Jim Young.

2010 Virginia Football Schedule Announced UVa Athletics Media Relations, Official Release The Atlantic Coast Conference released the 2010 football schedules for the league's 12 schools. Virginia's slate features 12 regular season games, including seven home contests. Starting times for all games will be announced at a later date. First-year coach Mike London makes his debut when Virginia kicks off its campaign at home against Richmond on Sept. 4. The game will mark the 30th meeting between the Spiders and Cavaliers in a series that began in 1893. In the last meeting between the teams, the Cavaliers defeated Richmond 16-0 in 2008 at Scott Stadium when London was the Spiders' head coach. The Cavaliers will open up the road portion of the schedule with their first-ever game in the state of California at USC on Sept. 11. The contest marks the first time UVa has played a game on the West Coast in exactly 34 years, celebrating the anniversary when the Cavaliers traveled to Seattle to play Washington on Sept. 11, 1976. The contest serves as a return game from the Trojans' 2008 visit to Scott Stadium and will be the program's third all-time contest against a Pacific-10 Conference member. Virginia opens up ACC play on Oct. 2 when Florida State comes to Scott Stadium. The contest marks the 16th all-time meeting between the Cavaliers and Seminoles and the first since 2006. Led by first-year coach Jimbo Fisher, Florida State is coming off a 7-6 campaign in 2009 and a 33-21 victory over No. 16 West Virginia in the Gator Bowl. The last time the Seminoles came to Charlottesville in 2005, UVa topped No. 4 Florida State 26-21. The Cavaliers wrap up the 2010 regular season in Blacksburg on Nov. 27 when they travel to Virginia Tech in the annual Commonwealth Cup contest. Football season ticket holders from 2009 will receive renewal application information in mid-March. The season ticket order and seating priority deadline will be April 30. New buyers may also order starting mid-March and should likewise adhere to the April 30 deadline to maximize seating priority. View the full 2010 schedule here.
Blog Banter: Sidney Lowe On The Hoos By Kris Wright
N.C. State Sidney Lowe shared the following thoughts after the game with UVa on Wednesday night. The Hoos won 59-47 to sweep the season series with the Wolfpack.
"I absolutely think that their win against us in the first game of ACC play on the road gave them confidence. Any time you win on the road it should give you confidence. They have the mental toughness, discipline and desire to win. They play with intensity, they don't make a lot of mistakes and are physically tough. They've had some great wins. Like I said, anytime you have a player [like Sylven Landesberg] that can do the things he can do with shooters all around him, it makes it tough. I also think that Mike Scott doesn't look like a physical presence but he's aggressive and active. He's going to bang you and push you and hold you but I mean that in a good way - I wish my guys would do more of it. They all play well together. They play with a swagger and an intensity that you like." Read more posts on The Good Ol Blog.

Issue No. 42 - June 21, 2002 Roger Mason Jr. will not return to UVa Virginia learned this week that rising senior guard Roger Mason, Jr. has elected to stick with his decision to go to the NBA and not return for his final year at UVa. Mason was Virginia's top scoring threat from the perimeter during the 2001-02 season, averaging 19 points per game. Mason also led the team with four assists per game and shot a remarkable 88 percent from the free throw line. A natural two-guard, Mason was forced to play out of position at point guard for most of the season with the departure of Donald Hand to graduation and the injury to Majestic Mapp.
