          The opening weekend of the 2011 College Football season was a very successful one for most of our local universities, only Virginia State came out of the first official weekend of the new season with a loss.  The Trojans were no match for the Spartans of Norfolk State in Saturday’s Labor Day Classic.  Meanwhile, […]

While we’re all celebrating VCU’s rise onto the national stage with their appearance in this weekend’s Final Four, I saw this as a teachable moment for some misinformed fans. Surely, this is HUGE for Richmond, and should the Rams prevail and win the NCAA Championship, it would be the city’s fourth, yes, fourth national hoops […]

          Fresh off their season opening loss to Boise State, the Hokies of Virginia Tech, ranked 13th, came home with an anticipated “soft” opponent to make their Lane Stadium debut.  Problem is, there’s nothing soft about the Dukes of James Madison.  The kids from Harrisonburg showed no signs of intimidation despite being down early in the game, but […]
