Man, we UVA Football fans got fat and happy this season, so much so that winning the Gator Bowl to get to 11 wins for the first time in program history isn’t satisfying enough for everybody.
Tell you what: I’ll take it.

It’s a tough job, but somebody’s gotta do it, and so it is that I’m in Jacksonville, currently overlooking the St. John’s River, on a near-record-warm day, awaiting the kickoff of the 2025 Gator Bowl.

Hard work.

I’ve been wondering all week if there was going to be any bite to this year’s Gator Bowl, with the headlines being about who isn't going to be playing, more than who will.

The UVA Football program has never had an 11-win season. You’d think that would get our attention.
Instead, and I can’t fault anybody for this, seems our focus as a fan base is on next year.

There’s always a but, when the NCAA is involved.

It’s Festivus.
Time for the airing of the grievances.
I’ll start.
My birth records say I was born in 1972, making me 53.
I don’t feel 53.
Anyway.
I haven’t accomplished anything of note yet, for 53.
I’d assumed I’d be governor by now.
Still just a hack writer.
My grievance: bad parenting.
