And why not? Because I'm going to tell you what will happen in it, that's why. Within the confines of these pages, anyway. Beyond that it's all Reply Hazy Try Again and all that.
Anyway, I owe you, the very intrepid reader who stuck with his or her Google search for probably about 25 pages, a little bit of What To Expect. It's now July, which means, technically, football season begins next month. Kinda scary, as it's not even the All-Star Break yet.
So on this page, I'll be working on a few things to bring to you. Before the season starts, I expect to have a little capsule something on each of the teams in the ACC and a reasonably in-depth look at our own, too. More than capsule-sized.....more like horse-pill sized. There will also be similar capsules on the non-conference teams on our schedule. The usual jazz of predictions and other sportswritery stuff will accompany. The recruit series will continue til every single one of them gets their own spot. There will be basketball coverage too, but it's likely to be sad and glum stuff because it's kind of a sad and glum season coming up with no #44 to save the day one-handed while falling over on his butt. So do stick around. It's a magical world, and we're going exploring.

whoa look i'm already bringin' you the news
If you haven't seen it already, of course.
C-ville Daily Progress
The latest addition to the family of 17 and 18 year old football playin' kids who are likely to fax their signature to Groh 'n' Co. next February is ILB Connor McCartin from Warrenton.
McCartin joins LoVante' Battle as the second recruit ESPN has placed a 40 by; 40 is code for *shrug*. Rivals has no evaluation either. And I'm several hundred miles from Warrenton. So I'm no help there. Yet. But they put a 40 by Keith Payne too, and don't we just love us some Keith Payne. (We still do, right?)
In other, blog-related, areas:
As you may have noticed, it's past 8 PM. It's not likely I'll always be posting this late. Why sometimes, I might slide in as early as 6. Whoa, don't wake the neighbors. So, all you people (yeah, I'm talking to both of you) who've already jumped on board the good ship TGOB, know that weekday posts aren't really going to come in time for you to waste your time at work most of the time. But don't let me stop you from sitting there and refreshing anyway. F5 all you want. I don't mind.
Future posts will entail:
Me telling you what I think of the '09 recruits so far, because I wouldn't be a blogger without it. Besides, it gives me 12 days worth of topics. Keep in mind though: I'm writing entirely from the perspective of a fan who reads things, watches things, and when he can, goes to things. Not the guy whose second cousin's wife's sister's boyfriend hangs out with Al Groh at Chili's on Wednesday nights. Kind of like the Sports Guy before being a fan became his job. I don't get to rationalize my voracious scouring of the Internet with reasons like "it pays the electric bill."

obligatory introductory
This blog is here because others are not.
The college football blogging landscape is rife with options for your reading pleasure, if you are something other than a Virginia fan. Michigan fans alone have approximately 4,267 blogs to choose from, each of them witty, insightful and claiming a large followership. This would be 4,266 more than the number devoted to UVA sports, the one being the highly entertaining but apparently orphaned Sexy Results. So I'm here to slim down the margin a bit.
So who am I? Proud University of Virginia graduate, devoted University of Virginia fan, and not the right person for this job, I think. I can write, and I have opinions, and I'm not slobbering all over myself waiting for the nurse to bring my porridge, which qualifies me to have a blog. Yay me, and the other 6 billion people in the world too. Unfortunately:
- I don't know what I'm doing. I have minimal computer-nerdery skills, so I'll be learning this as I go.
- I don't know what I'm talking about. I don't have any inside track whatsoever. I get my info from the same places the rest of you do. And I happen to live in Rhode Island, which is not a short walk from Charlottesville.
- I have terrible timing. It's not football, basketball, baseball, lacrosse, soccer, or anything-at-all season.
The good news is I write better than most of you. So in the days, and hopefully weeks and months and years, to come, I'll be offering you my opinion on the haps in C-ville, and in the college sports world in general (focusing mostly on football and basketball and other sports that our beloved 'Hoos are making noise in) and you get to read them.
Wish me luck.
