UVA aims for redemption among a new blockbluster appeal in athletics

  The season for fall foilage is around the corner with events and athletics about to take rise in Charlottesville.  Sure the air is not always crisp yet the new recruits with a new age appeal is ready for a challenge on schedule.  The NCAA tournament is fine for a second try for the steady improvement Cavaliers in 2013.  Sure they went down in a real battle last season and success over competitors such Wisconsin, Duke, and North Carolina count. 

No surefire bet takes away from the talent pool like the UVA fan base knows deep down.  The walk-around routine for red-shirt freshman is okay yet won't earn them a top spot off the bench.  Mike Scott carries the torch through his team leadership (double-double stat in school history)  from previous years over to upcoming senior Joe Harris(15+ ppg *ACC).  A fine achievement in UVA record books among leaders such as Ralph Sampson. 

  The no tolerance effect for athletic probation isn't a issue for most scholarship athletics.  What comes as real makes for a true time tradition with even academic high standards.  This is not to mention that even a few class clowns can't get into the action on the court.  A dumb rule through Division I athletics is to suspend a player for a minor violation away from the game.  Officials may have to change the rule book for such a special case.    

  The new blood must pick up the slack for a disappointing final to last season as UVA accepts only a NIT birth.  The sportsmanship for the Cavs was excellent unlike the rest from other conference contenders.  Last to earn a final cheer before a depart, Jontel Evans (Hampton standout) made his time well spent as a Wahoo even for a valuable education.  Nothing else matters in a hostile enviroment outside C'ville.  The true way with navy blue can measure their potential for quality schedule for the upcoming fall season.
