March 1st will go down as a great day for the editors of Bachmannalia.  Why?

(1) UVa defeated arch-rival Va. Tech to take 1st place in the ACC going into the final weekend of the regular season.  One more win will seal the championship.  This is a huge statement from a team that no one expected to be better than mediocre.  Bachmannalia directs our regular readers to the blog of compatriot DoubleWahoo for more in-depth analysis.

(2) The head editor and his wife got to see their favorite live band, “Guster,” at the 9:30 Club.  The show was great, punctuated by text messages from our friends with score updates (don’t worry, we watched most of the game before we left) and an incredibly funkdified version of “Airport Song.”  They always, always put on a great show, full of interaction and fun.  They ended with a horrific (but horribly amusing) version of 4 Non Blondes’ “What’s Going On.”

(3) Spring training games have started, and in fine fashion, with a great pitching and batting effort by the Tribe in a 13-2 rout of Houston.  Ah, I can almost smell the spring flowers…

March 1 is a great day.
