Bio:
Two lifelong best friends and UVa fans, Jeff Lowe and Jay Ballard, along with Jeff’s oldest son Jack decided Virginia fans deserved a podcast that was delivered from a fan’s perspective with a fan’s passion. Since then, the Cavalier Connection has been delivering weekly content covering a multitude of sports across the grounds. From interviews with athletes, to live post-game shows, to our award winning (in our own minds) Vegas picks, The Cavalier Connection has provided coverage with one thing in mind; entertaining the great fans of OUR Virginia Cavaliers. GO HOOS!
