This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

Well, the problem with that view is that by steelhop

you need the horses to do that. UVA has had limited top end offensive players. The last great one was Stanwick (and his two brothers went to Hopkins). They aren't at his brother's caliber (at least Wells wasn't and Shack appears to be the same) but they were good players.

UVA has had defensive issues for several years.

Lastly, and I have seen UVA supports gloss over this point, the Yeardley Love murder by George Huguely, the UVA lax player, caused a huge hit to UVA lax. I don't think it is the least bit odd that UVA's program took a huge step back once as the impact of that worked it's way through the program and recruits parents put out their feelings on that. Honestly, I'm shocked Dom wasn't fired because of Love's murder.

Edited to add: don't get me wrong, my alma mater's lax program has played like crap in 5 of the last 6 years.
