Virginia nose tackle Donte Wilkins is among the fourth- and fifth-year seniors that will be honored before Virginias final home game Saturday against Miami, and also part of a class with some notoriety.Wilkins and his classmates will be the first in a long time to leave Virginia without ever having participated in a bowl game, but also the key components in what they believe is a burgeoning transformation.He hopes that any emotions that surface dont arrive until after the game.Maybe after the season when I think about it, but its more we got work to do, weve got an 80-play game that weve gotta play, so thats what Im focused on right now, Wilkins, one of three Virginia captains, said.While the Cavaliers (2-7, 1-4 Atlantic Coast Conference) hoped a major turnaround would happen in Bronco Mendenhalls first season, the Hurricanes (5-4, 2-3) looked like they were making it happen early in the season with new coach Mark Richt in charge. They started the season with four straight wins and reached No. 10 in the Top 25.However, just as quickly as Miami rose, it fell, losing four games in a row, assuring the program that once lived near the top of college football that it would again fall short. The Hurricanes have never played for the ACC championship since joining the league in 2004, and have lost six of 10 ACC meetings with the Cavaliers.Richt, though, cautions against reading too much into this years results, for either program.The first season is always one of change, one of everybody learning each other and all that kind of thing, he said. Theres a lot of really good teams that dont have a winning record around the country.That would include Miami if not for a 51-28 victory last weekend against Pittsburgh.If we didnt win this last one, wed be in the same boat, Richt said.Instead, they are one victory from becoming bowl-eligible for the ninth consecutive season.Here are some things to look for when Miami visits Virginia:RECORD CHASING: Virginia senior Taquan Smoke Mizzell is 10 receiving yards shy of becoming the first player in ACC history at accumulate 1,500 rushing yards and 1,500 receiving yards in his career. Mizzell has 1,742 rushing yards and would be the ninth 1,500-1,500 player at the Bowl Subdivision level since the 2000 season. ... Senior WR Keeon Johnson needs 17 receiving yards to become the 36th Cavalier with 1,000 receiving yards for his career.BUILDING BLOCKS: Miami and Virginia have started the most freshmen this season among ACC schools. The Hurricanes lead with five, and the Cavaliers and Florida State are tied for second, each having started four.ORANGE CRUSH: Miami ranks second nationally with 81 tackles for a loss this season, and that will be a point of great concern for the Cavaliers. Since getting pounded early in the second half against Pittsburgh three weeks ago, Cavaliers quarterback Kurt Benkert has been skittish in the pocket and too quick to start scrambling. Against the speed of Miamis defense, that could expose him to taking hits on his still-ailing non-throwing shoulder.RED ZONE: One of Virginias positives despite its record has been its red zone productivity. The Cavaliers have scored on 27 of 30 trips inside the red zone, and are third nationally with an 80 percent touchdown conversion rate. Their only failures inside the opposing 20? A lost fumble and missed field goals from 20 and 30 yards.BEST EVER BRAD?: Hurricanes junior quarterback Brad Kaaya, coming off a 356-yard effort against Pittsburgh that included four touchdown passes and a rushing touchdown, has played his way into the top five of most quarterbacking career lists for Miami. He ranks third in yards, total yards, touchdowns, completionsand attempts.Cheap Shoes Wholesale China .

After their semifinal victory -- on the 4th of July, no less -- these 35-year-old identical twins from California are one win away from becoming the first team in the history of Open-era tennis to hold all four major titles at the same time. "The Bryan Slam," theyll call it, but dont look for that news to knock baseball, hot-dog-eating contests or Andy Murray out of the headlines in either the United States or Britain. The Bryan brothers play doubles, and despite their history making success, they live in a world where their games arent fully appreciated and fame is hard to come by. "The hardcore tennis fan loves doubles, but the casual sports fan doesnt know enough about it," Mike Bryan said. They love stars. Doubles players arent stars." If their list of accomplishments belonged to a singles player, theyd be considered among the best of all time. --Their 14 Grand Slam tournament titles would tie them for second with Pete Sampras. --Their 310 weeks at No. 1 would be eight more than Roger Federers record. --Their 90 tournament titles would rank third behind Jimmy Connors and Ivan Lendl. Instead, they must "settle" on holding the record for doubles in all those categories. Theyve raked in more than $20 million in prize money over their 15 years as pros and have gone 21-3 in Davis Cup matches -- a near sure-thing for a country that, for the first time in 101 years, didnt have a male singles player in the third round of Wimbledon and also saw its last woman go out Wednesday. Quite a resume. Place them outside a tennis tournament, however, and usually, they can walk down the street in peace. "Its the names and the stars," said Jack Nicklaus, the 18-time major golf champion, who was at Wimbledon this week and watched the Bryans play. "The singles players are really good, no question about that. If the doubles players were good enough, theyd be playing singles. To a large degree, I think thats the way most people look at it." Though it struggles for air time, doubles can be entertaining -- the last bastion of 21st-century tennis where a net game, teamwork and a couple of reflex volleys can still carry the day. Nearly two-thirds of frequent recreational players in the U.S. play doubles, according to the most recent study by the U.S. Tennis Association.dddddddddddd At the pro level, it can be quite an entertaining show, as was the brothers 6-7 (4), 6-4, 6-3, 5-7, 6-3 victory Thursday over the newly formed team of Indias Rohan Bopanna and Frances Edouard Roger-Vasselin. "I think they get overlooked and I think the top current singles players very, very seldom play doubles," said Pam Shriver, whose 8 1/2-year partnership with Martina Navratilova produced 20 Grand Slam titles. "I think doubles have always taken a back seat since Open tennis and prize money settled it all." (The lone exception: The Williams sisters, whove combined to win 13 Grand Slam doubles titles.) In their semifinal victory Thursday, the Bryans improved to 8-1 lifetime in Wimbledon five-setters. Their success in the close ones -- and the not-so-close ones -- makes sense, considering theyve been together forever, literally, while other teams come and go, sometimes changing partners by the week. The Bryans opponents in Saturdays final will be Croatias Ivan Dodig and Brazils Marcelo Melo, yet another one of those "honeymoon teams," as the Bryans like to call the new teams. "The sibling relationship might not even hold up under this amount of travel and stress," said Bob Bryan, who plays lefty, while his brother plays right-handed. "Its maybe only the twin relationship that can stand this kind of test of time. I definitely dont think just a normal partnership can hold up under this many years of ups and downs and finger pointing. "Unless you have the confidence that your partners not going to be looking around for someone else after a heartbreak loss. I mean, thats what we have. We have that loyalty that no matter how bad I return during a stretch, I know hes not going to be talking to (Daniel) Nestor, or texting Nestor" a 40-year-old Canadian doubles specialist. Almost every time they step onto the court, they will be both the favourite and an undercard. They accept both fates with equal enthusiasm. "As an athlete, youve got to cherish those moments," Mike said. "Were on the road and you can get mentally tired of those moments when youre playing week in, week out, basically putting your(self) out on the line, having guys gun for you because youre the number-one team. But then you go home and you realize you need that adrenaline rush, and youre itching to get back out there." ' ' '
