#EducationDay #FieldTripDay
Whether you prefer to call it #EducationDay or #FieldTripDay, John Paul Jones was rockin’ because of it on Tuesday morning. The third-largest home crowd in #UVAWBB history was comprised mainly of students from 40 area middle and elementary schools. Not only was the arena rockin’, so was social media. There were fantastic tweets from yesterday’s game, including a phenomenal Dance Cam gif, the winning poster in the poster contest and so many more, but this one right here probably sums it all up the best. Thanks again to everyone who made this a great day, and a great win!
#UVAToday: Being Thomas Jones
This morning, #UVAToday posted an article on #UVAFootball alum Thomas Jones. The article was initially published in August, but it’s a great piece that they chose to repost as part of their year-end retrospective. After graduating in 1999 as the Cavaliers’ all-time leading rusher, Jones had a 12-year NFL career. Nowadays, however, he has a thriving acting career, starring in the BET series “Being Mary Jane” as well as running two businesses. Read the whole article here.
Jones, a 1999 graduate of the University of Virginia’s College of Arts & Sciences, was one of the best tailbacks in the history of UVA football. The Cavaliers’ all-time leading rusher, he was an All-American in 1999 and finished eighth in the balloting for the 1999 Heisman Trophy, awarded to the nation’s best college football player. Selected by the Arizona Cardinals in the first round of the 2000 National Football League Draft, Jones went on to play professionally for five teams in 12 seasons. – See more at: https://news.virginia.edu/content/being-thomas-jones-uva-alumnus-talks-family-football-and-fame?utm_source=UTwitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=news#sthash.KhgyD9Di.dpuf
