[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 95498, member: 231"] Take it for what it is worth but the actual etymology and usage of dominant in play should be the original meaning far older than the contemporary sexual connotation unfortunately added to the term. It is from the Latin [I]dominare [/I]which mean to rule or govern. Same root for "dominion." So in the football context it basically means Tech "ruled" UVA, or "domineered" over them on the field. The latin [I]Dominus [/I]is a nominative translated as "Lord" so we could say that we "lorded" it over the Cavaliers. [/QUOTE]
