Ex-UVa player makes return
CBS Outdoor and Virginia Sports Properties, the multi-media rights partner of the University of Virginia athletics department, announced Wednesday that former UVa point guard Cory Alexander will serve as analyst with play-by-play announcer Dave Koehn on Virginia broadcasts during the 2008-09 men’s basketball season.

That’s an interesting situation: was ex-UVa basketball player/colorman Jim Hobgood fired? They have a right to replace him. He did a good job.
Haha. He wasn’t afraid to ask UVa head basketball coach Dave Leitao the right questions: the tough questions.
No one on the UVa football network has ever asked Al Groh the questions that need to be asked, like Hobgood asked Leitao those questions! And Leitao didn’t like it one bit! Haha.
I hope Leitao didn’t have anything to do with Hobgood being replaced. Hobgood certainly earned his salary!
