Why is there no mention or breaking news banner of UVA's win vs Cal-Irvine early this morning? I had to go to the Times-Dispatch web site to read about it.

I watched the TimesSportsCast and have a couple of comments:
1. While Virginia did get treated unfairly in the baseball seeding process they responded in the best way possbile (by Winning).
2. Hokies say they don't care about spring sports because most years they are just not very good. I think last years support of the softball team proves they really do care and are starved for a little success off the gridiron.
