With trumpets blaring and tubas piping, the Cavalier Marching Band created a wall of sound on the Charlottesville Downtown Mall Friday night as part of “Paint the Town Orange,” an annual kick-off (pun intended) to the UVA football season. Indeed, the season opener, held on Saturday night, September 4, went well for the Cavs as they defeated their coach’s old team, the Spiders of the University of Richmond, 34-13, at Scott Stadium. (Speaking of coach-swapping, after losing London, Richmond grabbed the Cavaliers former wide receiver coach, Latrell Scott as the head coach— along with five assistants)

Correction: Oops, first gave wrong final score as 35-13, but ’twas 34-13.

* People say the darndest things, but language stronger than "darn," insulting words like "stupid," ethnically or racially disparaging language, and comparing people to Hitler usually results in deletion of the comment and may get you blocked from further commenting. Ditto for posting unverified and/or potentially libelous allegations, and even off-topic digression. And to avoid spam, any comment containing more than two weblinks gets eaten by Bigfoot.
