| Publisher Description: Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Virginia Cavaliers combines the great passion of the Cavaliers fan with the great passion of the fan of Christ into one set of devotions, one book that is fun while providing a time of reflection about God and your faith. George Welsh once made a call so bold a writer called it "unthinkable." The clock ticked to zero in the soccer national championship game and nobody knew if the Cavs had won. UVa's Bill Dudley was so good that a losing team once carried him to the locker room on their shoulders. Al Groh got thrown out of a UVa lacrosse match and got a free lunch out of the deal. Cav Bryant Stith once scored 17 points in the last 3:14 of a game to fuel a comeback. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Dawn Staley, Ralph Sampson, Tiki Barber, Chris Long, Debbie Ryan, and many others. Their stories along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events are told with a twist: They are all tied to God's story. |
