I know the guys who run concessions and they tell me the actual gate counts (not tix sold, which the athletic dpt publishes) are in the low 20k's. I'd love to have some buzz back in Cville. <br />On a separate note, I was at the basketball game last night. I can see myself getting excited about this team. Despite having 7 freshman, they looked pretty decent. Can't wait to see what Bennett can do with them in a couple of years!Jim Bleakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533832235067789474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193007137551439191.post-68991796442522059222010-11-14T23:22:56.028-05:002010-11-14T23:22:56.028-05:00Learn to love lacrosse?

Pin your hopes on Mike London being every bit the recruiter we hope he is and being able to swing the tide of recruiting in Virginia back to UVA. It's different than U-M/MSU in Michigan - recruiting in Michigan isn't essential. Virginia's got more talent. If London can mine that enough to regularly beat VT, Maryland, and UNC on the football field, excitement in Charlottesville will follow. '02 through '05 was a terrific time to be at Scott Stadium because it was always crammed to the gills.Brendanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10506945153264825303noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193007137551439191.post-89359791726229631092010-11-13T20:47:08.882-05:002010-11-13T20:47:08.882-05:00Hey Brendan.

Moved from Chicago, but grew up in Michigan. Went to Michigan. Just found it interesting to run into another guy with both Michigan and UVA ties. I've been trying to become a fan of UVA since moving here (we'll be here a long time)...but having a hard time. My major interest is football...so all of the sports UVA is really good at are just sorta meh for me. Any tips on becoming a UVA fan?Jim Bleakleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533832235067789474noreply@blogger.com
