Hot or Not Team: Virginia
Alright HOOps fans. We’re in trouble. Here’s a recent quote from ESPN:
The guard play of Sean Singletary and J.R. Reynolds isn’t the only reason to get jazzed about the Cavaliers; they also move into a new facility (and open with Arizona). Virginia had a strong home court in the past but there is something about a new building that seems to bring out the best in a program. The consensus among league coaches is that Virginia could be a major player in the race for an NCAA berth.
We all know what this means: Expectations. Now Virginia has to meet up to some expectations to perform well this season. We all know how UVA performs when there are pre-season expectations for the team. Don’t hold your breath 
Speaking of expectations, there seems to be no expectations for our football team this year, as I’m sure you’ve already read about. Also from ESPN:
They’re not taking a Cavalier attitude in Charlottesville about last season’s somewhat disappointing 7-5 finish and an offseason marked by turmoil and transition.
Sixth-year coach Al Groh, who had the program on a steady climb, has seen Virginia level off the last two years and after heavy losses to the NFL the last two springs. There’s no doubt this season falls under the category, “rebuilding year.”
Woohoo. No expectations! Haha. Seriously though - I don’t think our season will be as piss-poor as folks are making it out to be. Does anyone have an ESPN Insider account? I’d like to read the rest of this article…
