"Virginia is looking to push the ball down field for another score.  Fullback Kevin Bradley takes the hand
off.  Bradley shifts left.  He’s hit at the line. Bradley beaks through the tackle.  He’s got some
running room.  20-yard line. 15 … 10 … 5 … TOUCHDOWN!  TOUCHDOWN!  Bradley was not going to be
denied.  The Cavaliers have done it again."

On this particular Wahoo afternoon, there was a wintry chill in the air. Bradley was standing tall, both feet planted
on what was then a brown back yard, a smile on his face.

But on that day, there were no zebras or down markers.  No stingers or stiff-arms. Missing were the game
breaking runs and the momentum changing sacks.  There wasn’t much noise at all.  In fact the bleachers were
empty.  But it didn’t matter.  Kevin Bradley was smiling.

That was January 17.
