Dammit, UVA needs a fencing team. We would dominate-- we literally have two swords in our logo. Notre Dame is fencing NCAA runner-up

Nope.
No more sports until Rugby is fully funded.

We’ll just expand the AFC to include the new fencing facilities. We can demolish Scott Stadium and just move the football team to Lambeth field full time.

A guy with whom I went to HS has two boys on the U.S. junior national team.
Here’s one of them. Apparently fencing at Harvard.

Athletic family. Tony (my HS friend) was a very good hurdler and his brother Ryan was a first-team all-state RB who ended up playing college football at Howard.

One of my roommates was on the fencing team. We always joked with him about the sabres in the logo and he always got mad cause he specialized in one of the other swords.

I only know the crossword sword… epee… it has been a clue in 90% of crossword puzzles I’ve ever completed. Have no idea what an epee is however.

It’s the biggest, heaviest (relatively) fencing sword. Can only score points with the tip. It is a little less confusing to watch than the other types because there aren’t rules about right of way that impact scoring.
I’m friends with a bunch of former fencers (not UVA connected)

If UVA were to ever try and start a fencing team, I think the Caplin family would be involved.
That we did not have one is why the kids (at least the 3 oldest that I know) went to Duke.
Their grandparents are the ones who have the theater on campus named after them.
