In The University of Virginia Vault: The History of the Cavaliers, sportswriter Jerry Ratcliffe takes you through the century-plus history of Virginia football from the first game in 1888 through the 2007 season. This detailed "scrapbook" contains never-before-published photographs, artwork and memorabilia drawn from Virginia's athletic department and campus archives. Tucked into dozens of sleeves and pockets, fans will find reproductions of old game programs, historic tickets, numerous postcards and photos. These fascinating replicas include an 1890 team photo, a 1897 book of UVa songs, a 1930's paper megaphone, a 1950s Virginia Cavaliers sticker, a 1951 season ticket brochure, a 1990 "Look Hoo's No. 1" poster, a 2003 postcard promoting Matt Schaub for the Heisman Trophy and a 1900s-style felt replica Virginia pennant. No Cavaliers fan should be without this "home archive" of Virginia's illustrious football history.
