Remember when I speculated postgame that Mike London, when asked about his baffling endgame strategy that had him saving two timeouts to use to ice Virginia Tech kicker Cody Journell on the game’s final play, rather than deploying the timeouts to give his team anywhere from 55 seconds to a minute to try to come up with a tying score, would say that he had given up on his offense?

Here’s what’s going through Mike London’s head as the clock continued to tick in the closing moments in Lane Stadium Saturday. No way our offense can move the ball. And even if we move the ball, no way our kicker makes a kick. That’s why I tried that ridiculous fake field goal in the third quarter up a touchdown with the momentum going our way. Best thing we can do here is let the clock run down, hope he misses it, and then we go to overtime.

The year 2012 marked the 150th anniversary of Confederate General Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson’s 1862 Shenandoah Valley Campaign. Conducted during the spring and early summer of 1862, Jackson’s maneuvers in the Valley are still considered by historians and military strategists to be nothing short of tactical genius. On Thursday, Dec. 6, at 7 p.m., the Augusta County Historical Society will present “Keeping the Federals at Bay: Stonewall Jackson’s 1862 Valley Campaign.”

It’s time to examine the impacts on various Virginia political players from the news this week that U.S. Sen. Mark Warner will not mount a campaign to run for governor in 2013.

The income tax creates a stagnant economy for the United States. Companies have moved overseas to give their investors a tax advamtage. They will not return to the US until our system gives them an advantage in the world market.

Talk about needing a win in the worst way. If it doesn’t happen this year for Virginia, it may never again be a rivalry.

Freshman guard Charles Cooke (Trenton, N.J./Trenton Catholic) sank two free throws with eight seconds left to cap a wild sequence as James Madison pulled out a 69-68 win over Youngstown State on Tuesday afternoon as part of the Progressive Legends Classic at Duquesne’s A.J. Palumbo Center.

I totally get the bent toward secession that we’re seeing from the sore-loser set that has cropped up in the aftermath of the 2012 presidential election.

James Madison’s three-point attempt in the final 10 seconds fell off as Duquesne held on for a 90-88 overtime men’s basketball win on Monday night in the opening day of the Duquesne subregional in the 2012 Progressive Legends Classic at the A.J. Palumbo Center.
