Virginia Cavaliers

the virginia cavaliers - my new football team, i had no idea uva was such a big football town, every twenty yards on the road is the logo for the team and ive only been here for aday or so but in that time i have seen at least four shops dedicated to selling cavaliers merchandise, so if i go to open tryouts maybe i can get a spot on the bench cutting oranges foreveryone at halftime or maybe even a seventh string defensive linebacker, either way i would be on espn!!! last year one of the cavaliers i think he was a running back was a rookie forthe pittsburg steelers and went on to win a superbowl, and another dude is playing for the new york jets.

it would be my wildest dream to have a k-mart in australia that stocks the same catalogue as here, there is a whole wall of paintball guns and accesories, a paintball gun only costs 50bukcs!and you can buy a bucket of fifteen hundred rounds for ten bucks, and the weapons, switchblades, butterfly knives, ninja stars! and then on the next wall is all the pump action shotgunsand the sporting section, an official nfl ball for only twenty bucks! simmo i know you want one! its official nfl, k-mart here in charlottesville even have their own dedicated cavaliers section. and uva had an undefeated le cross team last year'you don't score untill you score!'

charlottesville is a beautiful town, i went for a drive while i still had the monte carlo, nothing beats hooning around the streets of an american city with the solo from freebird playing on a loop! and bromley my chirpies kicked ass over the hyundai.

the red carpet hotel (there aren't motels) is a dive its the worst place i've been, on par with vegas that i have frequented, no wi-fi, its the sort of hotel you expect mayor quimby to have his floozies withand lord knows what has happened on the bed i slept on, so i decided to treat myself, i walked down to the 7/11 and bought some $2 longnecks of bacardi rum and watermellon and 89 cent cigars! that's rightdon't you just love no taxes on the vices in life :) i'd say the cigar i smoked (which was also flavored watermellon, mmm) would cost 15 bucks in oz. i just wish it was wednesday night so i could watch the new lagunabeach on mtv then my night would have been perfect, i could catch up on what rocky is doing, i know how much you love her kimbo!

i had my first taste of college sports watching the cavaliers (all teams at uva are called the cavliers) soccer team play pre season against vcu (virginia commonwealth university) the losers! we kicked their ass 3-0 , faulkner my apartment block is right near the soccer field, and id say there would have been a thousand people at the match.

prep rally then after the soccer match i went to the football field, (which seats 60 thousand!) to have my first pep rally for freshmans and transfer students. the band was there and the cheerleaders (they were handing out tryout sheets, and there are a few guys in the squad, it looked like a pretty sweet roll, or i can tryout for the mascot) after a few basketball coaches spoke, it was time for the football coach, (he was head coach for the new york jets in the year 2000) he spent half his time bagging the hokies (virginia tech) dam hokies i can't wait to kick their asses in the game of the season,and the other half making sure we would wear the free orange uva t - shirts they were handing out,

go the cavaliers, this stubby holder is one of many pieces of virginia cavaliers merchandise that i will purchase



go the cavaliers

'aha you didn't can't on my loyal army of prostitutes, did you?' - mitch

'hey, i think he has his thumb up that dogs ass!' - mitch (that was the one good thing about the red carpet inn, i got to watch dirty work on comedy central)

and my favorite, i remeber loving this when i first watched the film many years ago. 'hey do you want to grab some coffee?' - kate asks to which mitch said 'uh no i have to go lift weights... what?'

Hey Dan, yeah I can't wait for Wednesday's laguna beach either, can you believe I've watched last weeks 3 times now! I'm such a loser. That's heaps good that you've got a football team to follow. Do you know what, Bromley is teaching me a new move/rule of NFL every morning before he goes to work so that I know the game for when we watch it in December. Today I learnt that the nose catcher (?) gives the ball to the quarterback and the defensive liner (?) has to wrestle the quarterback. As you can tell these lessons are really sinking in.

Mate you have got to be the mascot for the Cavaliers. Try out some Newcastle tactics on the judging panel, think Super Hubert, Sir Rusty and go from there.
