Losing to Duke in football is among my un-favorite-est things in the world, and now UVA's done it two years in a row.
What broke your heart this weekend?

The Conservative Wahoo
The Blog: A compendium of thoughts on politics, world affairs, economics, pop culture and social issues, from the center right perspective of me--Bryan McGrath--a University of Virginia graduate who spent a career in the world's greatest Navy keeping my mouth shut about politics and social issues (ok, publicly keeping it shut). Those days are over! Pull up a chair and chime in where you will. Keep it clean, civil, concise and relevant.
The Fish: The fish is a "coat of arms" for the blog, symbolizing three formative influences in the life of the blog founder. The first is his experience at the University of Virginia--symbolized most importantly by the fish itself, or a caricature of a "Wahoo", the fish we have acquired as an informal nickname. Additionally there is the sword, the sword of a Cavalier. It is not wielded in a threatening manner, as this is a civil blog. But it is there, should it be needed. Thirdly, there is the influence of 21 years in the Navy--symbolized by the anchor on the Wahoo's fin (and again, the sword) . Finally, there is the bowler, tuxedo, and monocle, symbols of a refined, intellectual conservatism, or what I seek to encourage here.
The Policy: I take FULL responsibility for what I write. I will not be held responsible for the content of my comments section--as long as it is civil and passes my own inscrutable sniff tests, it will appear. If the comment offends you, that is on you.

What's to say? State lost a game they should have won (that's 7 straight to Clemson) Carolina won a game they should have lost to Flawda St. and Arsenal lost to Newcastle United, a bottom of the table team.
And my new kitty got the trots (in the house)...great!
As much as I hate to say it, isn't it three years in a row now?
Packers abuse the Cowboys. Patriots choke, and Redskins had a by. Golf buddy just bought 10 years of Skins season tickets...Just in time for the impending lockout/strike.
"What broke you heart this weekend?". Spending it in the office instead of the deer stand. I suck.
