Bless Coach Welsh, who with limitations that other schools do not have, was somehow able to make Virginia into a strong football program. It was a near miracle really, to do what he did.

Thanks for the great memories. This was my first game to attend at UVA. It was definitely a game to remember!

I agree. When Welsh first came to Charlottesville, U-Va Football in the 70's into the early 80's was like Duke of recent years, and I think they started to turn some heads when they qualified for the Peach Bowl (Now Chick Fil-A Bowl) in 1984 after narrowly missing out on the ACC Championship to my Terps (The loss against Clemson counted in the overall series between the Tigers and the Wahoos, but Clemson was ineligible for the ACC Championship in 1984 due to probation).

This is one of my greatest football memories EVER! I was AT that game, and it was SO INCREDIBLY AWESOME! I'll never forget the Moore-to-Moore (Sean to Herman) Connection!! We went on to become the #1 Team in the country (for 3 weeks - until GT ruined it by injuring Sean Moore) not long after that. THAT was some exciting fb. And George Welsh was the only guy to ever bring that kind of fb to UVa!

Hey, rare non-alum fan here.

I pull for UVA cause theyre an underdog. People think that brainy schools can't play football. This should prove em wrong.

We can get back to Welsh days. Is Mike London the guy? I sure hope so, it's also cool that Shawn Moore is back.

My dad went to the Naval Academy and remembers seeing Welsh on campus.

Could we even win the National Champioinship.....well it aint impossible but I'll be happy making the Orange Bowl AND ACTUALLY WINNING IT.

Had Chris Mullin had the benefit of the three-point line, he would have set a Big East scoring record which never would have been broken. He ranks right up there with Larry Bird and Pistol Pete as one of the best pure shooter ever.

Yes! John Calipari is a good coach. And Norm was very good as an assistant at Kansas. IMHO, he is in over his head try to rebuild a proud program.

[gymman1031]

IMHO, if SJU struggles next season, Roberts will be gone. There is no doubt!

[gymman1031]

Also, I know that it is too late now, but had Paul Johnson not gone to Georgia Tech, I think he would have been an awesome fit at UVA. By the way, St. John's needs a new hoops coach. Wouldn't it be awesome if they could lure Rick Pitino back to to city where he grew up? Rick Pitino is a king at reviving programs, and how sweet would it be for Rick to revive St. John's and then retire in his hometown?

[gymman1031]

Who would you like to see as the new coach at UVA?

[gymman1031]

That is true! Well, Groh IS 64 years old now, so I can't see him being around too many more years. And, Welsh did a great job, but you have to remember that Virginia blew a lot of huge leads with Welsh-ie.-Georgia Tech in 1990, Clemson in 1992, and Georgia in a bowl game in 1998.
