Groh dismissed as head coach at Virginia

Post dateNovember 29th, 2009 by admin in Uncategorized | No Comments »

RICHMOND, Va. (AP)—Virginia fired Al Groh after nine seasons as football coach at his alma mater Sunday, ending a tenure marked by his inability to beat rival Virginia Tech.
Groh’s dismissal came less than 24 hours after the Cavaliers (3-9, 2-6 Atlantic Coast Conference) lost 42-13 at home to the No. 11 Hokies, finishing their worst season since they were 2-9 in 1982. It also was their eighth loss to the Hokies in Groh’s nine tries.
“There is not a coach in the college game who has worked harder than Al Groh in trying to build a football program,” athletic director Craig Littlepage said in a statement. “Football is his life and he dedicated himself to the university and to our football team. We are grateful for his service and for his commitment to his players and his coaching staff.”
Groh, 65, issued a statement through the school Sunday night in which he said he felt “very fortunate” to have been given the opportunity to coach at Virginia.
“I am an ordinary guy who has been lucky to have been around some extraordinary players and coaches who put me in a position to enjoy many fulfilling games and seasons,” he said.
“I have coached Hall of Fame players, worked alongside Hall of Fame coaches, and coached in two Super Bowls, but my time as the Head Coach of the Virginia Cavaliers has been my most memorable coaching experience,” he said.
Groh had two years remaining on his contract and will receive a buyout of approximately $4.33 million, Littlepage said. The search for a replacement will begin immediately.
Groh was hired on Dec. 30, 2000, when he resigned after one season as the head coach of the New York Jets to take over at the school where he lettered in football and lacrosse, graduating in 1967. He replaced George Welsh, who had retired after 19 seasons.
Welsh, then the ACC career leader in victories, had just two losing seasons in his 19 years, but the Cavaliers finished 6-6 in his final season, prompting the change.
Groh went 59-53 with the Cavaliers and guided them to five bowl games, including four straight beginning with his second season. The team averaged eight wins over those four years, but managed just one more winning season in his last four, going 9-4 in 2007.
“My coaching philosophy and method of building teams has trust and teamwork as bedrocks. We were poised to solidify our position as a top team. Instead, as that trust and collaboration deteriorated, I could see this day coming,” he said in the statement. “We arrived with a set of principles that we have tried to remain faithful to and we leave with those principles intact.”
Groh, the ACC coach of the year in 2002 and ’07, was 36-36 in conference games.
Virginia lost its final six games this year and its last six against the Hokies, who joined the conference in 2004 and have been the league’s dominant team ever since.
Virginia’s decline was especially felt at home games, where the average attendance for 61,500-seat Scott Stadium had dropped by 13,600 in two seasons heading into Saturday afternoon’s game. That drew a season-high 58,555 fans, but nearly half of them were Hokies supporters and many chanted “Keep Al Groh!” as the final minutes ticked off the clock.
In his postgame news conference, Groh did not directly answer a question about his future, but instead read a poem, “The Guy in the Glass,” about how the most important person an individual has to please is himself. He closed with a testimonial about himself.
“When I visited the guy in the glass, I saw that he’s a guy of commitment, of integrity, of dependability and accountability,” Groh said. “He’s loyal, his spirit is indomitable and he’s caring and loving. I’m sure I will always call the guy in the glass a friend.”
Groh also read the poem to his team before meeting with the media, and besides their disappointing finish, the players were emotional about falling short in Groh’s final game.
“It’s sad to see him go like this,” defensive end Nate Collins, one of six captains on this year’s team, said afterward. “I know me and the seniors talked this week, and we were just doing everything we could to get this win for him and for the coaches, because none of the coaches know what their futures are going to be like after this game. It’s just tough.
“I hope the best for Coach Groh. I love Coach Groh like he’s a father, and he’s been a father figure to everyone here, and I don’t think anyone can really say otherwise.”
Groh began his postgame press conference with these words: “We made a pretty good go of it for a little while.”
He was talking about the game, but he might as well have been talking about his time at Virginia.

Crochet Ugg

These ugg boots are knit, rather than suede or sheep’s skin, giving them a slouchy look.
The words ’slouch’ and ’style’ do not belong together, nor do the words ’slouch’ and ‘boot’ or ‘classic tall ugg boots’ and ‘fashionable’.
When I see these boots, I feel like the mother of some young, tortured emo kid. I should warn you, I’m taking on the big powers that be, here. Oprah recently promoted these boots as one of her favourite things of 2007. Now, I don’t want to piss off the O, some of Oprah’s favourite things are cankles.
I would be driven nuts by these slouchy things drooping around my calves. I want to say they’re warm, but shouldn’t a boot be snug to properly insulate against the cold?
Possibly for some kind of knit moccasin shortage, going on the Oprah Winfrey show, or smuggling small items across the border.
I may not be a famous talk show host with massive reach and influence but I think the slouch ugg classic tall has taken the ugg boots classic tall to uglier and the ’slouch’ to even further depths of fashion hell.

Touched by NC girl’s death, Shaq pays for funeral

Post dateNovember 26th, 2009 by admin in Uncategorized | No Comments »

FAYETTEVILLE, N.C. (AP)—Basketball star Shaquille O’Neal(notes) paid for the funeral of a 5-year-old North Carolina girl after being moved by national news coverage of the case of Shaniya Davis, who police say was kidnapped and killed.
The Cleveland Cavaliers player was touched by the stories he saw and got in touch with the family to see what he could do to help, a spokeswoman for O’Neal said Thursday.
More than 2,000 people attended the girl’s funeral Sunday. Her body was found Nov. 16 beside a rural road.
Her mother, Antionette Davis, who had reported the child missing six days earlier, is charged with human trafficking and child abuse involving prostitution. Mario McNeill is charged with murder, rape and kidnapping in the case.
“I was sitting at home watching it on the news and the story brought a tear to my eye,” O’Neal told The Cleveland Plain Dealer newspaper.
Corey Breece, of Rogers and Breece Funeral Home, which handled the service, declined to tell the Fayetteville Observer newspaper how much it cost but added that a child’s funeral “averages around $4,500.”
A man who answered the phone at the funeral home Thursday told the AP that only the owner could comment and that he was away.
Shaniya Davis’ father, Bradley Lockhart, and his family had set up a trust fund in memory of Shaniya to help raise money to pay for the funeral. Lockhart was not available to talk Thursday, said a man who answered the phone at his home.
O’Neal is recovering from a shoulder injury that has sidelined him for six straight games since getting hurt Nov. 12 against Miami.

Giants know exactly what Broncos are going through

Post dateNovember 26th, 2009 by admin in Uncategorized | No Comments »

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP)—The New York Giants just escaped their own month of misery. So they understand the seething frustration and loss of poise in Denver, where sideline shoves, the head coach’s cockiness and players-only meetings are all the buzz.
The Broncos (6-4) have lost four in a row and blown what was once a 3 1/2 -game division cushion. The Giants (6-4) snapped their own four-game slide, which cost them the NFC East lead, by beating Atlanta in overtime Sunday.
The two second-place teams meet Thursday night at Invesco Field as the Broncos host their first Thanksgiving game since 1963 in the AFL.
Denver is at a low point following a 32-3 thrashing Sunday at the hands of the San Diego Chargers, who supplanted them atop the AFC West. Broncos coach Josh McDaniels exchanged heated words with some of San Diego’s linebackers during warmups, then watched his team come undone with silly penalties and an ugly sideline spat while losing its fourth straight game.
Although McDaniels has declined to discuss his own trash talking with the opponent, he did say he’s an emotional coach with a team full of emotional players who need to keep their poise.
“You can’t be all over the place emotionally,” Denver defensive leader Brian Dawkins(notes) concurred. “That doesn’t usually lead to a lot of success.”
Dawkins called a players-only meeting Tuesday to get some things off his chest.
“It felt great,” running back Correll Buckhalter(notes) said. “I think we needed it to get all our players on the same page.”
Cornerback Champ Bailey(notes) said some attitudes needed adjusting but he won’t know until Thursday night if the “no coaches allowed” meeting did any good.
“I was fairly encouraged just to talk to some of my teammates,” Bailey said. “But what’s going to encourage me more is if we play better. It’s not really what people say, it’s what they do.”
And lately, the Broncos have been talking a good game but playing bad ones.
Their offense has been stuck in low gear, their defense is springing leaks, especially against the run, and their special teams are dreadful.
Sounds a lot like the Giants before they snapped out of their funk.
Defensive end Osi Umenyiora(notes) said New York’s first win in 42 days made it feel as if a brick wall was lifted off their backs.
“We were getting killed around here,” he said. “Coming to work wasn’t as much fun as it used to be when you were winning. Nobody likes to lose. We are accustomed to winning as of late. It was very, very important and we are happy to get that done.”
As much as players talk about putting games behind them and moving on to the next opponent, streaks both have a way of lingering.
When you win, Giants quarterback Eli Manning(notes) said, “everybody is smiling a little bit easier and they are excited about the win and how everything is going. When you start losing you get down a little bit and things aren’t as enjoyable. People aren’t laughing as easy. You are still practicing the same, preparing the same. You go through the same steps. It’s not as fun when you’re not winning.”
“So it is good to get that win and get that sense of that winning feeling back in the locker room, … kind of see the smiles after the game after a long stretch where you haven’t won a game.”
The Broncos are envious. They haven’t won since Oct. 19.
They went through this same kind of skid last year, blowing a three-game lead over the last three weeks of the season to lose the division title, leading to an offseason of upheaval.
“The good thing about this year is it’s right in the middle of the season,” Bailey suggested. “So, we’ve got time to overcome that. Last year, we slid off at the end.”
The Broncos’ 6-0 start is a faded memory now that opponents have discovered their soft underbelly: running the ball straight up the gut.
During the skid, Denver has allowed opponents to run for an average of 145 yards, controlling the second half by grinding out the clock.
Dawkins expects the Giants to try the same tactic that worked wonders for Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington and San Diego—handing the ball off early and often.
“Absolutely. Why wouldn’t you? If you were an opposing coach, why wouldn’t you do that? Why wouldn’t you test that out?” Dawkins said. “They’re a running team anyway, so they’re going to do it anyway, but why wouldn’t you?”
Maybe because the Giants will be short-handed in the backfield with backup Ahmad Bradshaw(notes) (ankle) sidelined. So, they’ll have to be careful not to overwork Brandon Jacobs(notes)and wear him out in the mile-high air.
Several Broncos said they were glad they had a short week to get back on the field for another shot at snapping their losing streak. Not Dawkins.
“Do I like playing on Thanksgiving? No, I would I love to be sitting and watching somebody else play if I had my choice,” he said.
Giants defensive end Justin Tuck(notes) doesn’t mind missing out on a big feast, though.
“I eat every day. I am not worried about necessarily eating on Thanksgiving Day,” he said. “Hopefully I get to eat some quarterbacks.”

Knaus not close to contract extension

Post dateNovember 25th, 2009 by admin in Uncategorized | No Comments »

Chad Knaus believes he and Jimmie Johnson can continue to add to their championship total for years to come.
But the crew chief first needs a new contract.
Knaus on Wednesday denied an ESPN report that he’s agreed to lead Johnson through 2015, the length of Johnson’s new contract extension with Hendrick Motorsports.
Knaus, who has guided Johnson to four straight titles and 47 victories since 2002, is still working under an extension signed in 2006 that runs through next season.
“We’ve only started very light conversations,” Knaus said. “I don’t have a new contract, and we’ve barely had enough conversation for me to agree to anything.”
Although Knaus said it is his intention to stay with Hendrick Motorsports, “you never know what will happen. There are so many what-ifs.”
Knaus began his NASCAR career with Hendrick in 1993 as an original member of Jeff Gordon’s “Rainbow Warriors” crew. He began as an assistant in the body shop, worked his way into the fabrication department and eventually was put in charge of the body development for Gordon’s car. He was also a tire changer on Gordon’s 1995 and 1997 teams.
Knaus left Hendrick after the 1997 season to try to advance his career, working at Dale Earnhardt Inc. as the car chief for Steve Park, then for Ray Evernham when he left Hendrick to start his own race team. He then spent one season as crew chief for Stacy Compton at Melling Racing.
Knaus returned to Hendrick in 2002 when car owner Rick Hendrick formed Johnson’s new team.
The duo charged out of the gates and has contended for the championship every year. Their record-setting string of four consecutive championships began in 2006, and there’s no reason to believe they will let up anytime soon.
Hendrick said Tuesday that he’s working on an extension with Knaus, but “it’s kind of a foregone conclusion between us that he’s going to be here.
“We’ve got to get the paperwork done, but we still have a year and a half left,” Hendrick said. “So it’s something we’re doing. We try to get all our guys in place well ahead of when the contracts are up. So that’s under way. I plan for him to retire here. I think that’s what he tells me he wants to do.”
Knaus joked after Sunday’s title-clinching race that he’s not sure what he’ll do if he’s not a crew chief, throwing out a possible stint on “Dancing with the Stars” or opening a scuba shop in the Caribbean.
“I don’t know, man. I don’t know what I’m going to do when I grow up,” he said. “I hope I never have to grow up. I love my job. But I can’t be a crew chief forever. I’ll be honest, I can’t run at this pace for ten more years. It’s impossible. But I love what I do. I engulf myself in what it is that I do, and there’s nothing I’d rather do.
“I have yet to get out of bed in the morning and not want to go to work, and that’s a fact. In the future, we’re just going to have to wait and see.”
