Spiders coach Mike London got the itch to coach relatively late. He worked in law enforcement after graduating from UR in 1983. He returned to UR as a part-time assistant during the late-1980s. London got his first full-time coaching job in 1990 at William and Mary, under Jimmye Laycock, who is in his 30th season as the Tribe&#8217;s coach.           ]]></description>

As hard as it might be to imagine, Jeff Capel once was just another basketball coach, handing out resum&#233;s at the Final Four, hoping to land a job as an assistant coach somewhere, anywhere. Imagine that. Capel got a job as an assistant coach at VCU for the 2001-02 season. Then, he was promoted to head coach at VCU at the age of 27. He was the youngest Division I head coach in the country at the time.           ]]></description>

WILLIAMSBURG For two stretches, University of Richmond defenders lost William and Mary shooters. As a result, the Spiders lost the game. The Tribe pulled a 78-71 upset before 2,104 at William and Mary Hall last night. The Tribe made 10 3-pointers, not an extraordinary number. But three in a row came in the last 1:18 of the first half, and that flurry allowed W&amp;M to take a one-point lead and momentum at intermission. The sequence repeated in the second half. W&amp;M&#8217;s David Schneider (25 points) hit two 3-pointers and a shorter jumper in less than 60 seconds, moving the Tribe (1-2) to a six-point lead with 10 minutes left in its home opener.           ]]></description>

CHARLOTTESVILLE&#8212;Will Sherrill always makes a lot of noise&#8212;it&#8217;s in his nature, he says&#8212;but as a walk-on he&#8217;s usually doing it from the bench. Not so last night, as Virginia coach Tony Bennett opted for a two-forward lineup despite only having three of them at his disposal. It worked out just fine in a 79-46 victory against Rider, as Mike Scott was distributing the ball from inside and Sherrill was enjoying 16 minutes of playing time, more than three times his previous career high.           ]]></description>

Any thoughts the Virginia Cavaliers might have had about returning to form in an easy victory tonight were shattered when they watched tape of their opponent. The Rider Broncs opened their season by dismantling then-No. 18 Mississippi State 88-74. &#8220;They went into Mississippi State, and beat them pretty handily,&#8220; U.Va. coach Tony Bennett said. &#8220;They&#8217;re an experienced team, and they shoot the ball extremely well.&#8220;           ]]></description>

BLACKSBURG Her chest heaved and her feet burned as she ran across the lumpy field. None of it felt perfect to Marika Gray. But on this July day in Alexandria, perfect didn&#8217;t matter, because Gray was playing soccer again, nine months after a left knee injury shortened her sophomore season at Virginia Tech. She had established herself as a legitimate ACC player, before her knee made her start over, back on the lumpy field at home, playing against 14-year-olds from her club&#8217;s younger team. The time away from soccer deteriorated her touch and fitness worse than she had imagined. A ball rolled her way and bounced off her shin. She could barely sprint without sucking wind.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Virginia Commonwealth University men&#8217;s soccer coach Tim O&#8217;Sullivan was fired yesterday. The school said O&#8217;Sullivan&#8217;s contract was not renewed after 15 years on the job. A search for a new coach will begin immediately. O&#8217;Sullivan compiled a 148-118-35 record at VCU, but the program has declined since winning three consecutive Colonial Athletic Association titles (2002-2004). The 2004 team advanced to the final eight of the NCAA tournament. Last season&#8217;s team was 5-10-2 overall, 2-8-1 in the CAA.           ]]></description>

Two hours before Villanova played the University of Richmond at UR Stadium on Nov. 7, Dennis Blackburn repeatedly bent over with a stencil in his left hand and a can of white spray paint in his right. Up the sideline he walked, spraying the edges of yard-markers so they would be precisely four inches wide, with well-defined corners. Blackburn, wearing a hounds tooth check hat, then walked to the numbers on the field and touched up each of them with a spray of white. He studied the grass, looking for divots to repair, or other blemishes. There weren&#8217;t many. UR Stadium&#8217;s grass is &#8220;as quality a turf as you&#8217;re going to see anywhere in college athletics,&#8220; said Jim Miller, the Spiders&#8217; athletic director.           ]]></description>

Among the dozens of items on Virginia Tech basketball coach Seth Greenberg&#8217;s mental checklist before this season were two that emerged&#8212;one positively, the other less so&#8212;in yesterday&#8217;s first game, a 69-55 win over Brown at Cassell Coliseum. Greenberg wanted to find a scorer, or two or three, to complement his main offensive options, point guard Malcolm Delaney and forward Jeff Allen. To that end, his other three starters&#8212;guard Dorenzo Hudson, forward Terrell Bell and forward Victor Davila&#8212;each scored eight points and combined to shoot 9 of 20.           ]]></description>

VMI last season led Division I in scoring (93.8 ppg), 3-pointers (13.7 per game) and steals (14.2 spg). For encore, the Keydets want to play faster, shoot more 3s and create more turnovers. &#8220;We&#8217;re just small, and we need to play to our advantage,&#8220; said coach Duggar Baucom, whose Keydets meet the University of Richmond tonight at the Robins Center. &#8220;Playing fast, putting pressure on people, is to our best advantage. We really were not as fast as we wanted to be last year.&#8220;           ]]></description>

As the final piece of his team&#8217;s preparations for yesterday&#8217;s Old Dominion Athletic Conference clash with Randolph-Macon, Hampden-Sydney coach Marty Favret made his players watch a video Friday night. This wasn&#8217;t some funny, feel-good movie intended to keep an unbeaten team loose before its most important game of the season. It was a horror flick: the Tigers surrendering 21 unanswered points to squander a 21-10 fourth-quarter lead, then looking on helplessly as the Yellow Jackets and their fans celebrated their 2008 ODAC title on Hampden-Sydney&#8217;s field.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Grading the three keys B+Make Jamarr Robinson look inexperienced. The sophomore made his first career start in place of senior Chris Turner, who sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee last week against North Carolina State. The Terrapins&#8217; offense did not perform well, getting just one field goal and gaining 236 yards. Maryland went three plays and out on six of its 12 drives. But Robinson did OK, despite being sacked six times for a loss of 28 yards. Counting the sacks, he ran 24 times for 129 yards, though he completed just 12 of 32 passes for 104. B-Continue to defend the run well. Maryland&#8217;s tailbacks barely carried the ball. Davin Meggett had four carries for 4 yards, Caleb Porzel two for minus-4. Robinson did most of the running. Without sacks, he ran 18 times and had seven gains of 10 yards or longer&#8212;12, 14, 15, 16, 18, 25 and 28 yards. AFind some excitement in the game. Despite a lackluster environment at Byrd Stadium, which did appear mostly full, the Hokies were able to take care of business against an overmatched team. But since Georgia Tech won at Duke to clinch the ACC&#8217;s Coastal Division, the Hokies&#8217; biggest questions now are: Which bowl will they play in? And: How will they wash the mud off their new white jerseys, which they debuted yesterday, before they auction them off?           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Score: Boston College 14, Virginia 10 For starters: Boston College took a 7-0 lead into halftime, but Virginia was mostly pleased with that considering the Cavs nearly allowed another touchdown early in the game. Turning point: As Boston College unleashed a 7 minute, 7 second scoring drive to start the fourth quarter, it became evident that the Eagles had learned how to run the ball on the Cavs. Star of the game: Playing through the pain of several injuries, Jameel Sewell was nearly able to lead a game-winning drive in the fourth quarter. Big picture: Virginia has seven losses and will not be bowl eligible. That&#8217;s a strike against Al Groh, who likely is in his final games as Virginia coach. Go figure: 1&#8212;Sack by Virginia, which had been proficient at getting to the quarterback until running into Boston College&#8217;s mammoth offensive line. Next: Virginia travels to Clemson next Saturday for its final road game of the season. Game time will be announced today.           ]]></description>

After Virginia Tech&#8217;s 36-9 win yesterday at Maryland, Hokies defensive coordinator Bud Foster said Memphis has not contacted him about its head coaching vacancy.

Foster, who is in his 15th season as Tech&#8217;s defensive coordinator, has long stated publicly that he wants to eventually become a head coach, preferably in one of the six major conferences aligned with the Bowl Championship Series. Memphis is outside of those six, in Conference USA.           ]]></description>

          <description><![CDATA[
Grading the three keys DNeutralize the Eagles&#8217; offensive line. Virginia logged just one sack, an indication that the team was unsuccessful at pressuring BC quarterback Dave Shinskie. Aside from a few key plays, Shinskie had enormous amounts of time to make his throws, and only a strong performance from the U.Va. secondary and poor decision-making by Shinskie were able to hold the Eagles&#8217; passing game in check. B+Better field position. Putting in Vic Hall as punt returner was a smart move that seemed to pay immediate dividends, until a block in the back away from the action negated his first touchdown runback. On kickoff returns, Chase Minnifield was able to break a 27-yard return, and had one of his stronger performances. Coming the other way, punter Jimmy Howell averaged 41.3 yards with a good amount of accuracy, and Robert Randolph handled kickoffs well, though he admits his leg isn&#8217;t as strong as the team might like. B+Time of possession. Virginia made huge leaps in the time of possession game, staying even with Boston College through three quarters. That&#8217;s a credit to an offense that was able to sustain drives, though ultimately they did not end in touchdowns. Total yardage was 303 for the Eagles, 298 for the Hoos, a sign that the offensive production was nearly identical. The defense can thank the offense for that, though, ultimately, a lack of scoring did in the Cavs.           ]]></description>

WILLIAMSBURG&#8212;William and Mary defensive tackle Sean Lissemore started yesterday&#8217;s game with a little bit of a migraine headache. He ended it with a clear head and considerably less cranial pain than New Hampshire. In a playoff-caliber game, the Tribe&#8217;s defense was tested time and again by poor field position and turnovers.

Score: No.20 Virginia Tech 36, Maryland 9 For starters: The Hokies led 27-3 at halftime, as they gained 289 yards, including 200 passing by quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who was 10 of 17 and threw a career-best three touchdowns before halftime. Turning point: Essentially, the game was over in the first quarter, when the Hokies drove 72 yards in eight plays, and Taylor threw a 3-yard touchdown pass to tight end Andre Smith, giving Tech a 14-0 lead. Star of the game: Taylor&#8212;The junior finished 13 of 23 passing for 268 yards and three touchdowns. He ran eight times for 81 yards. His 349 total yards were his most in his 33 games at Tech. His previous best: 328 this season at Duke, where he threw for 327. Big picture: Though the Hokies enjoyed the win, it was tempered by Georgia Tech winning 49-10 at Duke, meaning the Yellow Jackets locked up the ACC&#8217;s Coastal Division and secured a spot in the conference championship game. Tech represented the Coastal in that game the past two seasons. Now, the Hokies are just playing for bowl placement and pride. Go figure: 5.3&#8212;Points Tech averaged in the first halves of its previous three games. The Hokies trailed Georgia Tech 7-3 and eventually lost, trailed North Carolina 7-0 and eventually lost and led East Carolina 13-3 and went on to win. Next: The Hokies return home Saturday to play North Carolina State. It will be Tech&#8217;s first home game since it lost 20-17 to North Carolina, a 15&#189;-point underdog, on Oct. 29. State is 1-5 ACC, 4-6 after losing 43-23 to Clemson yesterday. The Hokies have played the Wolfpack twice since joining the ACC in 2004, losing that season in Blacksburg 17-16 and winning in 2005 in Raleigh 20-16.           ]]></description>

A team that started the season with too many quarterbacks found itself with none Wednesday. Only a gutsy effort by Jameel Sewell, who wasn&#8217;t supposed to play, kept Virginia in yesterday&#8217;s game. Ultimately, he fell 2 inches short on a fourth-down play, Boston College&#8217;s Dave Shinskie picked up those inches on his fourth-down run, and the Eagles prevailed 14-10.           ]]></description>

Kendric Burney returned one of his three interceptions for a 77-yard touchdown and his third pickoff resulted in a bizarre fourth-quarter score that helped North Carolina beat No. 12 Miami 33-24 yesterday in an Atlantic Coast Conference game. Burney fumbled his third interception on what looked to be a pass, but Melvin Williams picked up the loose ball and ran the last 44 yards for a score. The touchdown held up on review after replays showed the ball slipping from Burney&#8217;s hand, confirming a play that gave the Tar Heels (3-3, 7-3) a 30-17 lead with about 9&#189; minutes left.           ]]></description>

DURHAM, N.C. - Kyle Singler scored 14 of his 20 points in the first half, and No. 9 Duke shrugged off the absence of two starters in a 96-62 rout of North Carolina-Greensboro last night. Singler, the ACC&#8217;s preseason player of the year, was 9 for 15 from the field, and Jon Scheyer added 18 points for the Blue Devils (1-0). Duke shot 59.7 percent and used two huge first-half runs to extend its NCAA-record home nonconference winning streak to 69. The ACC&#8217;s preseason co-favorites with defending national champion North Carolina improved to 28-2 in openers under Mike Krzyzewski.           ]]></description>
