TheSabre.com is an independent online publication covering University of Virginia Cavaliers athletics. The site, originally named VirginiaFootball.com, was established by Charlottesville, Virginia resident and former U.S. Air Force Security Specialist Michael Ingalls the fall of 1996. The site changed its name to "TheSabre.com" in 1998 because the site moved into more than just football and basketball coverage. The change also facilitated greater cooperation by the University of Virginia athletic department as there was some concern over trademark issues - the site held two domain names at the time; previously mentioned "VirginiaFootball.com" as well as "VirginiaBasketball.com".
TheSabre.com is named after the "V-Sabres" logo, which is now the official logo for all Virginia Cavaliers athletic teams. The official "V-Sabres" logo as well as "TheSabre.com" logo were designed by Matthew Welsh, a studio art major from the University of Virginia and son of former Virginia football head coach George Welsh. Welsh is a former employee of TheSabre.com. TheSabre.com became a full-time business in June 1998 and has been fully credentialed media since that time. The site is staffed full-time by founder and president Michael Ingalls, managing editor Kris Wright, and recruiting analyst Chris Horne, in addition to various freelance and intern writers. TheSabre.com also provides a number of resources for Cavalier fans, including daily links to articles and features from other sports-related web sites pertaining to University of Virginia athletics. Other site resources include rosters, schedules and other important information relating to UVa athletics.
