7 different wide receivers were drafted in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft. After two weeks, former UVA star Malik Washington, who was drafted in the 6th round that draft, has more receiving yards than any of them. He has more all-purpose yards than any WR in that draft.

UVA outscored their first two opponents by 82 points, which is the team’s largest differential through two games in almost 100 years.

Virginia is still the only team so far this young season to hold a P4 opponent to under 10 points and 200 yards.

In their last two home games, UVA beat VT and NC State by a combined score of 65-15. I was at both games. Maybe there should be a pipeline of free tickets headed my way. 😉

By 2030, half of data center capacity will be for GenAI. Within GenAI, video uses 30x more energy than a AI image and 2,000x more energy than a AI text generation. A 5 second long AI video uses the same amount of energy as running the microwave for over an hour.

Northern Virginia alone has more hyperscale data center capacity than China or Europe.

Don’t know if this is silly or unhealthy, but I just checked in my 1,000th unique beer in the Untappd app. Fittingly it was a Charlottesville beer while at Busch Gardens.

@dannyheifetz.bsky.social Some ring advice. 1) Never take it off. Too easy to lose and hard to get back on in DC humidity. 2) Use foam hand soap instead of bar soap. Chunks of the bar soap will get stuck in between the ring and your finger. Kind of annoying.

Only 16 men’s and 2 women’s teams won the First Four and First Round games. Virginia women are the only ones of those 18 to play at least 3 overtime periods in those three games. Therefore Kymora Johnson’s 133 minutes are the most ever for the first week of the Tournament.

Yesterday was the third time this season that Kymora Johnson has played at least 50 minutes in a game. That's hasn't happened in a women's college basketball season in at least the past 20 years.
