North Carolina led VCU by 19 with 14:58 to go, by 14 with 6:13 to go, but the Heels ran out of gas, entirely because head coach Hubert Davis, who might not be long for the job, dramatically shortened his bench. augustafreepress.com/news/ncaa-tour… #vcu #UNC #CollegeBasketball #MarchMadness #NCAATournament

Local Democrats are bound and determined to f—k up the 2026 midterms, to a point where I’m wondering if it will do us any good to pass the redistricting referendum, and still lose to the feckless Ben Cline. augustafreepress.com/news/democrats… #Congress #politics #Democrats

If you’ve never been in an arena for an NCAA Tournament game, it can be hard to know just how tense it is just to be there. I mean, I can’t imagine what it’s like to have to play, because it’s hard enough for me just to be there in person as a writer. #UVA #uvabasketball #collegebasketball #basketball #NCAATournament #MarchMadness augustafreepress.com/news/uva-baske…

FCC chair Brendan Carr wants to change a federal rule that bars a single multimedia company from reaching more than 39 percent of U.S. households, so that the Trump-friendly Nexstar Media Group can buy out the Northern Virginia-based Tegna, in a move that would give Nexstar reach into 60 percent of U.S. households. #DonaldTrump #FCC #nexstar augustafreepress.com/news/state-ags…

Midweek staff days are rough, especially the back end of two. As #9 UVA found out on Wednesday, in a 14-12 win at Liberty that was a 14-4 game at stretch time. augustafreepress.com/news/uva-baseb…

The Trump regime has been trying to gem up evidence that there was foreign interference in the 2020 election, which no one on that side can still concede Donald Trump lost, but the only reason they would concede that he lost, if pressed, would be to claim that there was foreign interference, so that they could use that excuse to do something funny with the 2026 midterms. Are you there with me? The problem that Mark Warner highlighted today in a U.S. Senate hearing was the Trumpers’ inability to file the required paperwork to back up their bullshit claims.

I’m jealous of Matthew Zimmerman, because his job title at Virginia Tech is: assistant professor of sports media analytics. Schools teach this now? No fair; coming up in the 1990s, we had to figure things out on our own. augustafreepress.com/news/virginia-…

The UVA Football media, on Tuesday, got their first crack at Tony Elliott since the Jahmal Edrine rape case hit the news wire. You can guess how many times the name Jahmal Edrine came up in the presser. Take the under. Compliance in advance. augustafreepress.com/news/uva-footb…
