Apocalypse Now: Virginia College Football

After last week’s abundantly incompetent loss to D-1AA William & Mary, Virginia had a lot to play for today against no. 16 TCU. After ESPN’s Lou Holtz said “Virginia had more Marys than Williams out there,” you might say their manhood was at stake today. And certainly, a win today would help silence the critics that are calling for Al Groh’s dismissal as UVA head coach.

Sadly, with an opportunity to make an emphatic statement, Virginia’s play today has been far more whimper than roar. TCU is leading 14-0 in the third quarter, and while that’s not an insurmountable deficit, Virginia’s anemic performance so far suggests that even a field goal might be asking too much.

It’s not looking good for the Wahoos in ‘09.
