Pick up any newspaper this time of year, and I'll bet 80 percent of the articles in the sports section are football-related, covering every aspect of the sport from the NFL to high school. At home in Tennessee, reading the local paper, I can always expect to find a splash of Volunteer orange among the black and white: a photo accompanying a detailed article, the latest on the Vols, much to the delight of Rocky Top's football fanatics. Football season hasn't started yet, but the anticipation of America's most watched sport has journalists penning stories including scouting reports and updates on injured players.

Last year, football returned to campus with much fanfare. This year, a pair of sports teams return back home with not as much attention paid to them.

Welcome Spider fans. Welcome to another year of Richmond sports. Welcome to the realm of A-10 titles and Sweet 16s, with some pretty great players on some damn great teams. It's where the legends are made and where all the players get paid. (Nah, just kidding).

Checklist: paper, project, exam, finished. I'm sure you've made a similar list in your head, eagerly awaiting beach week, graduation or summer. Congratulations. You've almost reached the finish line.

For my last column this year, I felt it would be best to reflect on 2010-11 University of Richmond sports in its entirety. The problem with that idea is that I'm not the right guy to tell you. I can't tell you how amazing it was to see women's tennis win an Atlantic 10 championship or even football win its first game back on campus, because I wasn't there to see it (wondering how I got this job?). So instead of me trying to bullshit about things I don't know, I did the next best thing. I talked to the head honcho of UR sports: Athletic Director Jim Miller.

We all probably know of Dennis Rodman for different reasons. Some know him for being that other guy on the '90s Chicago Bulls team alongside Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen. Others may know him for his off the court antics, which included part-time professional wrestling, wearing a wedding dress to promote his autobiography, having relationships with Madonna and Carmen Electra and recently being on the show "Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew."

Charl Schwartzel looked pretty fashionable at the Augusta National Golf Club on Sunday when he wore a bright green blazer.

This weekend as I watched the Richmond baseball team take on St. Bonaventure University, I was reminded of my childhood.

Live life with no regrets. It's a saying I try to live by, even though I've never fully understood it. I can't comprehend how it is possible to live life without regret. How can someone not want to take back a single thing throughout the course of an entire life? Hell, I can recall six different things I regret doing just this past weekend. Maybe you don't call it regret, but the reflective thought "What if I had done this?" has most likely crept into your mind at some point in your life.

Failure: every athlete's greatest fear. In fact, it's every student at this school's greatest fear. I frequently hear people complain about how stressed they are for their midterms or research papers. And yes, I fall into this category as well.

As college basketball fans around the nation watched the 11 seed VCU Rams knock off Kansas in the Elite Eight last Sunday, I can only assume there was a mixed bag of emotions. For those whose brackets had gone down with the likes of Pittsburgh or Duke, I bet it was great fun to watch David take down Goliath. For others, like me, the bracket officially flat-lined with Jamie Skeen's triumphant ball heave into the crowd of black and yellow as the clock hit zero. As for those VCU fans ... well, Sunday night probably got reckless.

Senior guard Brittani Shells makes breaking records look as easy as her signature reverse finger-roll layup.

Kevin Anderson scored 20 points in Saturday's win against the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, surpassing the 2,000-point mark and making him the third all-time scorer in University of Richmond basketball history.

Senior Day, the ubiquitous rite of passage for athletes, evokes nostalgia and releases a flood of memories.

My favorite moment of last year's Major League Baseball season was when Detroit Tigers fans gave umpire Jim Joyce a standing ovation a day after his blown call robbed Tigers' pitcher Armando Galarraga of a perfect game.

A time long ago, before the Cadillac Escalade with the busted passenger windows crashed into a fire hydrant in the magical golf world known as Isleworth, there was a golfer whom all other golfers across the globe feared.

The South is football country. Sure, Penn State, Ohio State, Notre Dame and the University of Southern California are programs storied in success and tradition, but let's get real, y'all: The South wins the 2011 recruiting battle, especially (and I hate to say it as a Florida Gators fan) the REAL USC -- the University of South Carolina.

Super Bowl XLV's announced crowd was 103,219, a little more than 700 seats short of the record for the largest attendance at a Super Bowl.

Hail to the Redskins! Oh, wait, the Skins have not made the Super Bowl since 1991 in Super Bowl XXVI against the Buffalo Bills.

The Cosmos shifted last week with the discovery of a new zodiac sign. The new sign, Ophiuchus, threw many devout believers' astrological balances out of whack. What a way to start out 2011 - people acted as if the supposed end of the world in 2012 had come early (personally, 2012 is on my list of fears ... along with popping balloons).
