10/23/2006 11:31:26 PM

I'll be there! On the sideline

10/23/2006 11:33:15 PM

are you marcus stone

10/23/2006 11:36:36 PM

nope, I'm not on the football team..... Although I might could play better than some of them.. and get less holding/false start penalties

10/23/2006 11:44:41 PM

Where'd the guy go that does the scouting reports?

10/23/2006 11:48:38 PM

for those going be sure to check out the famous UVA tailgating organization known as Wilk Hall.
http://www.wilkhall.com/

Scott Stadium
Capacity - 61,500
Record Crowd (against Duke of all teams) - 61,737
Traditions:
-Cavalier riding a horse swinging a sabre over his head leading the team on the field, fun fact in 1974 this tradition ended when UVA installed artificial turf, but returned in 1995 when natural grass was put back in place.


-Like at many SEC venues traditionally at UVA males wear coats and ties and females wear sundresses to games, but Groh has tried to change that by getting the fans to wear orange t-shirts.
-Student seating on The Hill

-The Good Old Song
UVA students lock arms and swing back and forth to this song that is based on Auld Lang Syne; UVA students came into controversy in past years when they would yell "NOT GAY" during part of the song, the UVA administration has seriously tried to put an end to this embarassing act

Quote :

"That good old song of Wah-hoo-wah We'll sing it o'er and o'er It cheers our hearts and warms our blood To hear them shout and roar. We come from Old Virginia, Where all is bright and gay. Let's all join hands and give a yell For the dear old UVa Wah-hoo-wah, Wah-hoo-wah. Uni-v, Virginia, Hoo-rah-ray, Hoo-rah-ray, Ray! Ray! U-V-a"

-Getting pwnt by VaTech in football often, and having their 50-yard logo defaced by Hokie fans.


-Beating FSU every 10 years.

-Mentioning Thomas Jefferson every 5 minutes.

-Acting more elitist than UNC fans, yeah it's amazing that that is even possible. Just read this crap of a story by a UVA student proclaiming why they should wear ties and sundresses.

"This Saturday, guys, put on a button-down and tie; and ladies, a sundress and string of pearls. You attend Mr. Jefferson’s University, an elite institution long-known as the public school worthy of Ivy League prestige, and neither you nor anyone who sees you should forget it. All of the orange in the local Wal-Mart won’t help the team beat Miami in November."

You can attend an elite university and still be a rabid fan. Lane, Death Valley, and Neyland are usually regarded as tougher places to play than Sanford, Bryant-Denny, and Vaught-Hemingway. The earlier three are always in people's Top 25 toughest places to play lists, while the others are hardly ever mentioned in the Top 25 lists.

10/24/2006 1:06:55 AM

Power Sound of the South will be there....over 80 strong.....the only game we get to go to besides UNC

10/24/2006 1:19:35 AM

Sweet! I might be able to hear the NC State fight song thru the tv instead of playing it on my comp.

WOW... I'd like to fight this kid





FIRE CHUCK

10/24/2006 8:37:23 AM

The UNC of the North. I can't wait.

10/24/2006 9:17:37 AM

maybe we can actually beat them

10/24/2006 9:23:09 AM

I'll be there!

10/24/2006 9:38:37 AM

wow. i guess i should have assumed that uva students would be even more full of themselves than tarheels.

it's like they mandate frattiness in the guise of tradition.

10/24/2006 9:50:59 AM

I'll be there

10/24/2006 9:56:34 AM

I'll be there

10/24/2006 10:20:04 AM

Where's everyone sitting?

10/24/2006 10:47:54 AM

Trying to get tickets from a season ticket holder.

Is anyone going up the night before? I can't find a hotel within 50 miles of Charlottesville.

10/24/2006 11:31:03 AM

We're going up the night before, but I'm pretty sure we don't have anywhere to stay yet

10/24/2006 11:32:29 AM

here's the solution to your problems on a place to stay on friday:

1. Find a UVA party.
2. Meet cute girl at party, and pull out all the stops, I'm talking lay the full court press on her.
3. Convince her to take you back to her place.
4. ...
5. Profit (in more than one way ).

10/24/2006 12:37:22 PM

^wear a tie

10/24/2006 12:42:59 PM

"Don't forget to bring a tie." (in a Towlie from South Park voice)

10/24/2006 12:47:42 PM

ive been looking all day at work yest and today, even through my corporate hotel accounts...everything is booked solid.

10/24/2006 1:00:39 PM

Brass Monkey ftw.

10/24/2006 4:33:16 PM

I'm going up friday night . . . but they my uncle lives on the edge of campus

10/24/2006 6:06:47 PM

Okay, I found a hotel and am heading up on friday night with a couple of friends. Any recommendations for good bars (hopefully where other wolfpackers will be hanging out)?

10/24/2006 8:05:00 PM

ugh...
i want to...
dad's a uva alumnus (who would actually be rooting for NCSU, he won't be cheering for uva much until they bring back the pep band)...
but, sadly, i'll be stuck in raleigh...

10/24/2006 8:08:28 PM

I'm looking to score some tickets. Dads boss is a BIG UVA supporter, so he has 50 yard line front tickets behind the team and a box, so I'm gonna try and get rowdy.

10/24/2006 8:32:06 PM

sure hope the band fag dude is going to be there

10/24/2006 9:12:13 PM

if i make the trip, we will find a way to lose

so im staying home

10/24/2006 9:31:12 PM

went to GT and FSU last year... haven't been on a road game yet this year. If we win this weekend I might have to just go to every road game til we lose.

10/24/2006 9:35:32 PM

anyone know of a cheap place ot stay? or any parties/tailgating goin on fri night?

10/25/2006 11:16:32 AM

^best western had one room when we looking last night.

10/25/2006 11:21:25 AM

I'll be there. Let me know where the Pack will be partying

10/25/2006 12:22:01 PM

Is it me, or did UVA's jerseys look kinda high schoolish last Thursday nite? Orange letters on dark blue background???? Are you kidding me?

10/25/2006 1:07:20 PM

actually uvas record crowd was against miami in 04 and it was around 63.000. deffinantly wont be that many for the state game since its a 12 o clock game and both teams are not very good.

10/25/2006 1:36:35 PM

UVA doesn't sellout games anyway unless its VT or the occasional miami/FSU...

[Edited on October 25, 2006 at 1:38 PM. Reason : .]

10/25/2006 1:38:21 PM

I guess I'm going now. I got offered tickets and a parking pass today.

[Edited on October 25, 2006 at 2:07 PM. Reason : .]

10/25/2006 2:06:38 PM

if anyone has 2 extra tickets pm me

10/25/2006 2:20:39 PM

I may have extra tickets but I won't know for sure until game day

I also have a dank parking spot in donor parking so I'll be easy to find

PM me if you need tickets as I may have some

10/25/2006 6:35:50 PM

I live in Charlottesville so I can give advice on the dank bars as well.

Go to the corner if you want collegy girls

go to the downtown mall if you want non-collegy girls

there, there's your advice.

[Edited on October 26, 2006 at 8:55 AM. Reason : ]

10/26/2006 8:30:08 AM

i got tickets so nevermind on that, you know where to park for people without passes on game day?

10/26/2006 11:52:03 AM

good luck, the stadium is right in the middle of campus

10/26/2006 1:05:07 PM

There are some neighborhoods up the hill from the stadium with on-street parking. That's where I parked when I went before. Fortunately I have a parking pass for Saturday (from an alum).

10/26/2006 1:30:59 PM

I have 1 ticket for sale in the State section upper level, if anyone wants it and is in or near Raleigh PM me.

10/26/2006 1:45:16 PM

go down fontaine avenue and there will be plenty of people selling parking spots in thier yards or driveways

10/26/2006 2:55:47 PM

Ticket still available, will sell well under face value because I cant make it to game, if no one wants it for themselves you can make some $$ by reselling it.
