UVa will square off with West Virginia in Charlotte at Bank of America Stadium in the 2026 and 2032 seasons, UVa deputy athletic director Tyler Jones said. An official announcement is expected Wednesday afternoon.

“We’re really excited about it,” said Jones, who handles football scheduling and did the legwork on booking the Mountaineers.
“We haven’t played WVU in a while,” he said. “It’s been a long time, but just the regionality of it was appealing and the fact that we haven’t played the Mountaineers in quite some time is appealing. And then, the location. Charlotte is an easy drive for both fan bases.”

She is delicious

I was certain that the Dems would rally around TDS and mount a response with Biden that would be unstoppable. That Trump wouldn't be able to keep his mouth shut, and pick up where he left off in 2020. That the left would find ways to rig the vote again. The social media would put their fingers on the scales. That shenanigans would occur late into the evening. Water leaks... ballot dumps... ballots pulled from under tables.

I realized something this morning. Trump... is the first 3rd party candidate to win the White House in a very very very long time. Trump ran as a Republican... sure... but the leftward movement of the Democratic party, and Trump fully embracing the platform of the working man, the anti-war, the anti-establishment changed the landscape of this race.

Then Biden's mental health became more apparent and the Democrats, in a panic, yanked him off the ticket only to replace him with a candidate that was probably the WORST candidate to ever run on a party's ticket nationally. Kamala without a doubt is a fuc#ing moron. Just a trainwreck of a candidate that couldn't carry her water if it was in a teaspoon in a bucket.

This election is more than just Trump winning. It's a shift in the Republican party. A shift away from the Neo-Cons and Establishment. When Kamala touted the endorsement of Liz and Dick Cheney, you knew that the winds have most certainly been permanently changed. In one night Trump moved the needle in a very significant manner when it comes to the Black vote, the Hispanic vote and the Asian vote. He also woke up the youth in this country in a way that I didn't expect.

I have voted for 3rd party candidates in Presidential elections most of my voting life, and yesterday, after voting for Trump, I realize I did so again. Sure he's got an R next to his name, but it's a different R. An R that's more indicative of the party that Thomas Jefferson envisioned with his Anti-Federalists. I'm more hopeful now that we will actually get some real foundational change in how our government functions and operates.

- Renew the Trump tax cuts

- Fund/construct the border wall

- Pass national voter ID laws

Enough of this worship nonsense. He looks to have the House and Senate.

Hold him to his conservative promises, especially those concerning Elon Musk's priorities. To be honest, I don't care much about the social aspects of the campaign. Shred the federal government into a shadow of what it is today.

--West Virginia head coach Darian DeVries said his team is going to find out if his team is physical enough to take on UMass and it will be a great test for them in this contest.

--DeVries thinks this can be a good rebounding team because they aren't getting overwhelmed but they have to create better habits. They have to get bodies on people and box out. He anticipates they are going to get there and get bodies on people to be a good rebounding team.

--DeVries said in the summer they did a lot of live combat for rebounding but in the season it's reps with hitting a pad to reinforce creating that.

--UMass is going to pound the glass and throw it in the interior and be physical. There are going to be opportunities to run out because they are aggressive on the offensive glass, but they have to do their job first and rebound the ball. They have to get them to miss the first one and then rebound it.

--Sencire Harris doesn't give him much of an option when it comes to defending the best offensive player on the perimeter. He loves that challenge.

--DeVries wants his teams to be as physical as possible and play tough. They want to make that their identity as well.

--DeVries said the tape for Robert Morris is how they wanted it look as a coach. They want to continue to work on sustaining that for longer periods of time and that is the challenging moving forward and it will be a big test Friday.

--The assistants watched the full game from last year against UMass and it was a physical game. They have a little bit different roster from last year, but the mentality is still the same.

--For each scout they will take a collection of plays out of each playbook around 10-15 and will focus on that grouping of plays. That doesn't mean they can't pull from others but that's what they want to do. There are a lot of ways to approach it and game by game you sometimes try to get somebody confidence that is struggling or get some of your best players looks. Sometimes that is different from half to half in the same game.

--The more you run sets the more the game will slow down, but they want to take every opportunity they can to get out in transition.

--DeVries said they don't have an elite shot blocking team. They have to be selective that if they go they have to get it because there is nobody left on the backside. They have to play as one-on-one as possible and wall up on the backside.

--Defensively they don't chart deflections or have a certain number of tips they need to hit but they want to be gritty, tough and get through screens. It's something you can see and feel if they're hooked up and playing the way they are playing.

--KJ Tenner is confident and aggressive and that's what they want.

--DeVries said he doesn't know what recruiting will look like in a week or so with the early signing period, but they are always recruiting. They will be bringing recruits on official visits throughout the year and they want the people that want to be here.

--DeVries wants to get some returners, some freshmen coming in and then fill some needs in the portal to sustain for a longer period. You have to be able to adapt to what the situation presents itself as in case you lose some guys in the portal to fill needs.

--Where the games fall, every game is a big challenge on the schedule. You have all summer and fall to get ready to play and they have to go play. Friday that's Massachusetts.

--DeVries wants their identity to be tough and physical and that's the mindset they want it to be to play to that. It isn't really a skill, but for some guys it's more natural. Certain teams have a reputation for how they play and they want that to be along those same lines.

Don't think I've been down there since we played in 2007, and I have no memory of where I parked back then. The University webpage advertises a parking garage on campus, but it's over a mile from the stadium. I don't mind a bit of a walk, but I fell like there have to be better options. Anybody know?
