Good evening, Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) sports fans.
Just a quick post here for tonight. I’ve seen a couple of tweets from our friend, Mike Barber of the Richmond Times (you can follow Mike on Twitter at @RTD_MikeBarber), on how University of Virginia Head Football Coach, Bronco Mendenhall, views the pandemic (specifically the novel coronavirus otherwise known as COVID-19) in the bigger picture of society (e.g. not just sports) which I think is awesome. See what he says below:
#UVA‘s Mendenhall on COVID-19: “We have done a very good job of controlling that component. However, that does not reflect the community spread. It doesn’t reflect the nationwide numbers and it doesn’t reflect the worldwide pandemic. Football is secondary to all of those things.”

Mendenhall is pretty consistent in his statements regarding the pandemic (he’s said this more than once) – and he’s right. And it’s refreshing to see a coach out there who is taking a 30,000 feet view of the pandemic and it’s impact on society.
Mendenhall is a good man – and Virginia is lucky to have him as their football coach.
