The CavsCorner Podcast

On this week’s episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we focus the bulk of our attention on the NCAA potentially granting all football players an extra year of eligibility regardless of playing status this fall/spring and what the ramifications of that might be for the class of 2021 and for the sport as a whole. We also talk about UVa’s fall camp thus far, the first number ceremony, and how we feel ab...

On this week’s episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we follow up on the ACC’s schedule announcement last week but really the crux of the show focuses on the go/no go decisions of the Power 5 leagues, as two have canceled their seasons though the ACC moves forward.    Credits: Brad Franklin ( @Cavs_Corner ) David Spence ( @HooDaves ) Justin Ferber ( @Justin_Ferber )     This episode of the CavsCorner...

On this week’s episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we follow up on the ACC’s scheduling model and try to figure out if the “+1” of it all will ever become a reality.  Then we dive into the news of potential boycotts by student-athletes and discuss the issues related to opting out of playing this season.   Credits: Brad Franklin ( @Cavs_Corner ) David Spence ( @HooDaves ) Justin Ferber ( @Justin_Fer...

On this week’s episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we discuss the ACC’s 10+1 model, both in terms of how it all stacks up and how things look for UVa in a schedule that is completely revamped.

On this week’s episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we discuss the latest on football’s (hopeful) return and how difficult the landscape is to navigate despite the fact that many schools seem to be getting good news on the testing front.

On this week’s episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we do our best to cover the latest on the “will they play football?” front as we dive into UVa’s return to Grounds, the way forward, why it all feels so daunting, and why how much hope we have about the potential for them to actually play.    Credits: Brad Franklin ( @Cavs_Corner ) David Spence ( @HooDaves ) Justin Ferber ( @Justin_Ferber )       ...

On the latest episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we dive back into schedules discussions but with a bit more to go on than last week. Though the Ivy League isn’t playing this fall, the Big 10 says it’ll go conference games only and the ACC is reportedly looking to follow suit. So, we try to break down what options are on the table for the league and how Notre Dame’s presence on the outside (but ki...

On the latest episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we dive into one of football’s most storied topics: The quarterback battle. UVa figures to have two very, very good options this fall when camp (finally) gets underway.

On the latest episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we move to the other side of the revenue-sports coin and field a number of “what if” questions related to UVa basketball. In the first part of this series of episodes, we dive into the Renardo Sydney recruitment, what happens if the no call when Teven Jones was fouled by MSU in 2014 gets called, what would’ve happened had UVa not gotten Kihei Clark,...

On the latest episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we answer more (but not the rest) of the “what if” questions we received related to UVa football.

On the latest episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we answer some (but not anywhere near all) of the “what if” questions we received related to UVa football. In the first part of what seems like it will end up being a series, we discuss last year’s win over Tech, Bryce Hall’s injury, the loss in the Military Bowl, and Khalek getting off the field. But the majority of this show falls on one question,...

On the latest episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we discuss two important decisions for UVa football in the last week.

On the latest episode of the CavsCorner Podcast, we look back at the crazy way the 2019-2020 season ended and how unreal it all feels.

We’ll also get into the loss of spring football and how missing those key practices might impact the team this fall. And finally, we’ll...
