And The Horse You Rode In On
The state of football at Virginia (34) was perfectly summed up last Saturday when the school's mascot, Cavman, fell off his horse while riding onto the field amid the pregame festivities. The Cavaliers promptly followed suit, being trampled at home by TCU 30-14.
That followed a 12-point loss to William & Mary in the season opener and stretched the program's losing streak to six dating back to last year. Total points scored during that slide: 79.
The fact that Al Groh (35) is in his ninth year at the school speaks poorly of Virginia's athletic administration: He has recruited remarkably well while fielding remarkably mediocre teams. If Groh is around for a tenth, the ACC should kick the school OUT of the league.
