SPORTING LIFE

SPORTS!!!!!

I LOVE THE UNIVERSITY OF VIRGINIA!!!, so for me, all sports talk begins with the Hoos, then everything else......

My definition of NIRVANA is this.........

......It is early Fall, there is a cool briskness in the air, I drive up to Charlottesville from Richmond, suddenly the majestic Blue Ridge appear, my heart beats a couple ticks faster. The pre-game show is on the radio, I drive down Rugby Road, an active throng of young co-eds are dressed up and walking towards the Rotunda. There is a buzz in the air. I park the car, filled with anticipation and quickstep it past the Rotunda and onto the lawn. Here, I slow the pace down and take in the sights and sounds. Good looking guys with their good looking dates, enjoying a few libations in outdoor cocktail parties in front of their ancient rooms of splendor. I think to myself, what a studly damn school. (Were the girls this good looking when I was here?). I give a nod to Mr. Jefferson as I walk through the passage between Thornton Hall and the Amphitheatre. Now there is a palpable current of electricity in the air, I am getting "jacked." The crowd becomes louder, the Blue Ridge more vibrant, and then almost in a crescendo, my senses are on edge, and then, ..... and then,....it is there,..... THE SMELL OF BOURBON IN THE AIR!!!!, ....I have arrived, I am home,.....I am so happy I want slap somebody.
