What's this?

Yes. But it's important to do well in football these days.

I argued that point for many a year on the UVA board during the Mike London era. We were finishing in the top 10 in the Director's Cup and winning the Capital One Cup, but we couldn't win a football game. That was terrible. Hopefully Bronco Mendenhall can make a difference.

I thought Steve Addazio was a good coach, but he can't seem to get it going at BC. They have not been hiring basketball coaches that can compete in the ACC.
