i have asked to several UVA students in the past about this. the answer i keep getting is that they call themselves the cavaliers for football. wahoos seems to be their basketball thing. they also told me that the wahoos were an indian tribe.

That's gotta be wrong. Their football helmets say "HOOS" on the front.

Hoooos RETARDED?

11/28/2005 4:35:34 PM

^^^No, they definitely use it for football, too.

The Cavalier is the official mascot; the Wahoo is a side thing.

but yea its like the stanford cardinals using a fucking tree as their mascot

wahoo is part of their school song, thus the wahoo's

"The Good Old Song" was written in 1893. Sung to the familiar tune of "Auld Lang Syne," it has since served as UVa's unofficial alma mater. Although the words to the song are attributed to the late Edward H. Craighill, Jr., of Lynchburg, Va., Craighill wrote in the October 1922 issue of the University of Virginia Magazine that "no one man should be credited with the authorship" of the first stanza. He said it was a byproduct of a welcoming home of a victorious football team and was the joint production of several students. The cheer "Wah-hoo-wah" was in vogue with the student body and was incorporated into the song.

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
