On Saturday, March 21, two prominent sportswriters offered some free advice to UVA athletic director Craig Littlepage about whom he should hire to coach the Cavaliers men’s basketball team. Venerable Daily Progress scribe Jerry Radcliffe cast his vote for Minnesota coach Tubby Smith. “Don’t expect it to be an overnight process. It takes time to line up these kinds of deals,” writes Radcliffe. “But it’s the best deal Virginia could possibly make. Tubby Smith coming to Virginia would be the best thing that’s happened to Wahoo basketball since Ralph Sampson signed on the dotted line.” Meanwhile Washington Post writer and ESPN commentator Michael Wilbon devotes his Saturday column to endorsing Virginia Commonwealth head coach Anthony Grant. “Grant, 42, is smart, composed, strategically creative, a terrific recruiter,” writes Wilbon. “His resumé has it all. He spent 10 years at Florida helping Billy Donovan build the program that won back-to-back national championships. Grant was with Donovan at Marshall before that and was a high school coach in Miami before that. You think Virginia couldn’t use a coach with those kinds of recruiting ties?”
Construction of Norfolk’s 7.4-mile, $232 million (or $288 million) light rail system advances as seen here in this March 20 view of its elevated tracks near Norfolk State University (which just happens to be the alma mater of Virginia Festival of the Book speaker Tim Reid).
Over 100 people gathered at the Jefferson-Madison Regional Library to hear author and former UVA MFA Bliss Broyard discuss her book, One Drop, which explores the decision of her father, literary critic Anatole Broyard, to conceal his African American ancestry.

No, this isn’t Bob McDonnell, who resigned February 20 to run for governor. Bill Mims now has the attorney general job until January 16, 2010, and he was in town March 20 to spur lawyers to a Legal Food Frenzy in support of the Blue Ridge Area Food Bank. Last year attorneys pulled in 65,000 pounds of food.
Again, do we need to go over this kids? Crikey, even the Wiggles sing about it: Stop at the light, look both ways, look both ways again….
Never Been, talk about blaming the victim! How do you know the car didn’t run a red light/drive up on the sidewalk/etc.????
Cars never stop at the crosswalk at Hinton and Avon. Obey the zebra folks, obey the zebra.
