UVA Football: No news to report, so, the home games have themes, let’s run with that

UVA Athletics put out a press release on Tuesday to announce the themes for the home football games on the 2026 schedule.

Obviously, it’s a slow news days over there.

When baseball season ends in a few days, the pickings are going to be mighty slim.

If we’re not there already.

Themes?

Here we go:

• Friday, Sept. 11 vs. Norfolk State: Paint the Town Orange, WEAR ORANGE
• Saturday, Sept. 26, vs. Delaware: UVA Strong
• Saturday, Oct. 10 vs. Syracuse: Homecomings, Breast Cancer Awareness
• Friday, Oct. 23 vs. Duke: Family Weekend
• Saturday, Nov. 14 vs. Cal: Heroes Appreciation Day
• Nov. 21 vs. North Carolina: Senior Day

Missing here: the theme for the home football game that we lost, the one with NC State, which got moved to Brazil.

Spitballin’ ideas for a theme for that one:

• Turn the TV On
• Fly, Fly Away
• Amazon Grace

I’m sure there are better ones. Drop me a line with your suggestions.
