Virginia's Victorious Videos

If you, like myself, are a Michigan fan, you're likely aware of the brilliant work done by WolverineHistorian on YouTube. His videos encapsulate highlights of Michigan football games (wins, to be precise) of the past - some are the type you'd actually search for, like Michigan-Michigan State of 2004, and others are ones you've long forgotten about but you just sort of run across and say, hey, cool. As best I can tell, however, the UVA faithful have no similar resource. Oh, sure, you can find Chris Long's safety against Maryland pretty easy, and a couple random game clips here and there. UVA22001 has a few highlight clips of games gone by, and I highly recommend them, but there are only four in his collection. So we 'Hoos have been rather deprived.

Until now.

Presenting Virginia's Victorious Videos. In a fashion similar to WolverineHistorian and the aforementioned UVA22001, I've distilled some of UVA's football triumphs into short story-telling highlight clips. You'll be able to relive our wins, YouTube style. I intend to take every UVA victory that I record, clip it, and YouTube it for your nostalgic viewing pleasure.

Here's what you can expect:

- Pretty much every football game from here on out, and that includes this season and some of last.

- Pretty much every basketball game that comes over the tubes here in RI. At the moment that seems to be about 11 on this season's schedule.

- Worthwhile lacrosse, baseball, and soccer games. Whatever's up on ESPNU, essentially.

- Improving videos, as I learn how this stuff works, and possibly purchase actual decent software instead of using Windows Video Stamping Plant. Constructive suggestions, of course, are always welcome.

Here's what not to expect:

- Anything prior to the 2007. Sorry, I don't have the recordings. TiVo service began in the FOV household just then. If by lucky serendipity, someone does have them and wants to send them to me, I'd be more than happy to clip it and post it and credit the sender. Otherwise, sorry.

- Losses. You don't want to relive them and neither do I.

This page will have links to the videos on YouTube - I'd just embed them here but eventually this page would get too big and clunky.
