June 24, 20214 yr My ex went to UVA. My impression from several trips to Charlottesville is anybody who calls them Cavs or Cavaliers didn't actually go to UVA. It's all Hoos. I do prefer the UVA fanbase over the rest of the CWS field but (for personal reasons) a vengeful skullfucking tonight would be quite nice.

June 24, 20214 yr I don't view the "Hoo" thing as a patrician affectation. It's actually an old-school college rah-rah thing. Like a college fight song or a school handsign. Those are the things that make college sports GOOD.

It's kind of more compelling to me to watch a team flip sides and then work their way through it against the other teams. On the other hand, double elimination with the same set of teams is a good compromise between 3-game series and the cruelty of baseball. Double-elimination in the same bracket does a better job of mitigating the "any given Sunday" nature of a single game and tends to let the best team emerge, not just the luckiest. Switching brackets undoes that a bit.

It matches UVA and their whole vibe to have a self-consciously goofy secondary nickname that they've kept around while other fanbases have left theirs in the 20s.

Yeah, those (the boolah boolah fight songs, secondary names) are a bit of a relic of times when colleges were more elitist than today, at least Ivies and old schools like UVa. They're still kind of cool. More people should wear seersucker suits and straw boaters to football games too.
June 24, 20214 yr Popular Post I'm glad that they're so likable, but we still have to crush their souls.
June 24, 20214 yr It's not exactly the same thing, but UVA has its own language for all University stuff: It's not Campus, it's Grounds You're not a freshman, you're a first year. Referring to UVA as "Mr. Jefferson's University" - although that one might be falling out as people are more conflicted about the his legacy. Everything is generally based on how it was when Thomas Jefferson was founding the university. They are really big into history.

Even in these times, you’ll find significant numbers of men, young and old, at their football games wearing blue blazers with tan slacks and orange/blue ties. And … you’ll find most UVA fans, regardless of apparel, are packing flasks and rowdy as any college crowd.

Thought about applying there as a safety school until I saw on their site “guys in ties and girls in pearls” referencing their football game days. The UVA fans are probably the most casually dressed I’ve seen in Omaha though so it doesn’t apply to the baseball crowd

June 24, 20214 yr At some point Hodo is going to have to stop panhandling for walks and get us some hit production. It would be nice if Faltine would get a hit or two as well.
June 24, 20214 yr I think Hodo is at the point now where the ump is waiting to see if he takes off for first and if he does it's going to get called a strike no matter where the pitch was
June 24, 20214 yr Yeah, I'm sitting here re-watching the regional win over UCF and he just did it on the very first A/B. Someone needs to have a sit down with him over that high school shit. He was half way down the first base line and you could just see the ump's "Oh no you didn't" body language. Fucking idiotic. Edited June 24, 20214 yr by Cajun
