we all know that UVA and their fans aren't 100 percent classy, or knowledgeable of social environments, but when they mess up, why do they think that everyone else is wrong? Anyway My question is did any of you at the game, or at home run into any unnecessary douche-baggery?
here's my 2 moments of verbal confrontation:
1. While going under lane stadium east stands (section 13 to be exact) at halftime, Which is Packed during the game, a group of UVA fans were standing in a circle with no purpose (no bathroom lines or concessions stand) so i pushed through the outside of the group and one said "What the F*** bro?" (that's verbatim) and i said "Get the f*** out of the way" i felt I was justified.
2. After UVA score to go up 20-17 a Boo Hoo (40+ year old woman) in front of me said "It sure is quiet in here!" then once we scored, I tapped her on the Shoulder and said "Is it quiet now?" she left with 1:30 left, once we laid Lambert to rest. btw before this happened, the same woman kept looking back at me and the group i was in and said "can you be quiet? i'm trying to enjoy the game!" to which we responded with cheering louder, most notably the "we just sacked you" chant.
By no means was this My first encounter with threats/hoo-holes. I've been threatened with violence, and i kid you not, rape-"We'll shove a bat up your a$$"-but we won 38-0 Bro
Anyway did any fellow Hokies, did you or have you experienced altercations like that with the unfortunate fans from the north?
Thanks I know i'm not alone
Comments
Hehe. Hooholes. You shoulda asked her if "[she] was enjoying the game now" after we scored. Also shoulda said "wait, where YA going? Aw c'mon" after the Lambert sandwich.
Way too stay classy
I agree. Those boohoos should take a serious lesson from Dadi and Beamer. When will they ever learn?
I don't like the hoos any more than the next guy...but is it really necessary to sink down to that level and bash them in this way?
let's be honest, EVERY fan base has fans like that...
Sounds to me like he was asking about fellow Hokies present (and past) experiences with wahoo "fans". Don't see anything wrong here. As far as the "get the f-k outta the way" example, I can't totally fault him for that. I doubt that's the worst thing they experienced that evening.
Is the 'we just sacked you' chant in the same rhythm as We Will Rock You by Queen?
Yes. The band plays "We will we will rock you" 3 times through. And your response should be (after each respective band portion)
1) "Hey! We just sacked you!"
2) "Hey! We'll do it again!"
3) "Hey! I think he liked it"
thanks for sharing that I knew the band was chanting something but I had no idea what. I usually just go crazy after a sack anyways
this has to go in an FAQ somewhere. we need a lot more people chanting that. with the defensive line we're going to have next year, we'll get to practice that a lot next year.
i heard some dudes yelling this in the NEZ and totally thought they just made it up.
I had no idea what they have been saying - thanks for the info.
Why did you feel the need to push through them? From this, it doesn't sound like they were not doing anything to bother anyone and it sounds like you were the one who instigated the "altercation." What if they were just catching up with each other at halftime? For all you know, they could have been waiting for someone to finish in the bathroom/concession stand and didn't want to leave them behind.
Next time, walk around. No need to be a jerk.
This guy is my hero
That chick at 7 o'clock is absolutely killing it on the air-drums.
Is she a professional?
Perhaps this is judgmental, but based upon the eyebrows, that's a dude.
You may be right. I'm not used to seeing dudes with their elbows that high though, unless they are doing what the first guy is doing.
For the record, the motion he is doing, while very questionable, is what the MVs do when the opponent is within 20 yards of either endzone in order to make additional noise. Well, obviously the motion doesn't make noise, but it is accompanied by basically constant cymbal crashes and rimshots and screaming. The motion I believe is to imitate punching a speed bag.
I, too, was under the impression that it was a male. Either way, fantastic air drums.
Dude I lost my shit when I looked back at her...she's probably Lars's niece or something.
Do you think these two know the UVa fan in a bowtie right next to them (just under the right lower corner of the sign) or was it just serendipitous they sat next to a BooHoo?
Actually I think that may be a member of our German Club. They dress up like that to sell programs before the game.
I always thought those programs were free. That's what some tubas told me.
they're free as of this year.
I still got my free program from a guy in a blazer.
Yeah, the German Club is still responsible for distributing the programs. But now, thanks to Whit Babcock, the programs are free!
It was pretty much a wall of people, and they were in the direction i needed to go, and by push by, i brushed by their shoulder, because everyone there was shoulder to shoulder
Eh, if someone did that to me without saying "excuse me" or at least, "I need to get through", I'd be pretty annoyed as well.
In a packed stadium? Nah, that happens in big crowds. No need to be saying "excuse me" every 5 seconds.
So that is a completely different version than you told above. Was it a wall of hoo's, or just a circle of them talking? They 'were in the direction' you needed to go? So if you had walked around you could have still gotten where you were headed. Oh, that's right, the wall/circle. And instead of pushing into the middle of their circle... err... wall like you said in the OP, now it's that you merely 'brushed by their shoulder'.
I think the picture is pretty clear on this one.
Gotta agree.
I just enjoyed seeing the UVA fan sitting near us wearing only jeans, a hoodie, and a backwards baseball hat (he had a warmer hat in his pocket...). He spend a lot of time rubbing his hands together but thoroughly enjoyed yelling "Yeah Smoke!" every time that wide receiver touched the ball and got run down by safeties.
He did seem to have a good time dancing to music though, most notably the new years song.
silly wahoos. New year's isn't for another month
True, but I guess they need to celebrate New Years now as they won't be getting together as a group again anytime soon...
#FreeUAB
Hell, the biggest issue I had all game was with a 50-something year old lady sitting two rows in front of us that I THINK was a VT "fan". She took offense anytime I decided I wanted to make noise for the defense. Just because I'm in the West Stands doesn't mean I have to be silent. She also left early.
You should have come to my section of the west stands. Standing and yelling the whole game.
To be fair, everyone else around me was loving our little groups passion (even the UVA fans were good about it) even if they were a little reserved for my tastes. Just this one woman wanted to be a sourpuss. But that's okay, it takes much more than that to ruin a win over UVA.
To be honest, I've never experienced Hoo problems during football games. I have only ever experienced it outside of games, and when our game is on, but we're not playing UVA.
I've only experienced general asshatery from fans for WVU, The U, and LSU.
Somewhere there are a bunch of wahoos telling the story about how they were at Lane Stadium minding their own business, talking during halftime, and some redneck VT fan came busting through their crowd dropping f bombs for no apparent reason.
I much prefer the stories comparing us to the extremely gracious Nebraska fans and how great it is for opposing teams to come party with the Hokies.
btw, we always seek out the opposition during the pre-game tailgate to join us with free liquor and the Hoike Cheer.
Hell, there was almost a pre-game fight between the teams. Sometimes you gotta get in that mentality against your rival. Makes it that much sweeter when you win.
In UVa's case, it makes you look like a bunch of thuggish a-holes when you lose.
I totally agree - it's much better to be gracious hosts than elbow hoos and then throw f-bombs when they act annoyed by your actions.
I came in expecting to read about some awful story of a UVa fan getting into a physical altercation with some VT fans over the game.... and then I see this.
This OP came off as gloating about your own general asshattery toward the UVa people you ran into more than anything else. Purposely barging your way through a group of UVa fans because they had the audacity to huddle up in a circle to talk to each other in the concourse during halftime of a game where the temperatures hovered around 20F the whole game? Oh, but they said "What the F*** bro?" Yeah, I'd probably do the same thing if some asshat decided to be a douche and force his way through our group when we're just minding our own business. But hey, props on your rebuttal of "Get the f*** out of the way", you really showed them!
And man, the audacity of that UVa fan to say something like "it sure is quiet here" when her team takes the lead with 3 minutes to go in the game. Its not like a variation of that same phrase is said by broadcasters every single time a visiting team takes the lead late in the game. But hey, more on you for putting her in her place after we took the lead. I'm sure she didn't feel bad enough that her own team let us score with such ease, glad you were there to clean up the easy rebound.
I dunno man, this is a bit "holier than thou" for me. You get into verbal spats here on TKP with other Hokies. Hell, we've spatted against each other a few times. Shit happens, then you hug it out bitch.
In regards to the first incident... maybe what he means is that he pushed through the outside because they were blocking the way and he couldn't get around. The OP is fairly vague on that and I think you are taking it a tad overboard. That being said, I do agree that there is no need for the reply that was given, at least say something clever.
In regards to the second incident, I don't see anything wrong with giving opposing fans some ribbing, especially when they dole it out first. But sure not necessary and low hanging fruit
Something similar happened by me at the Miami game where a Miami fan was going apeshit and rubbing it in our faces when they were doing well (which was pretty much all game), but on a play where we sacked their QB, or something awesome, some VT fan decided to do the same to him, and the guy and his friends started fighting with the VT fan...they got kicked out.
Dish it, but can't take it...
Damn, how is the weather up there on your high horse?
Sorry, couldn't help but notice this:
Favorite Hokie
Me
Couple UVA fans puked while in their seats right behind us...the smell was awful. People made sure they were okay but it was pretty sad
I know they suck but they played pretty decent. Didn't think UVA's performance was pukeworthy though.
Was that by any chance in the SEZ, section 507? Same thing happened a few rows in front of us. My 8 year old said as he pointed "look daddy, that man must have the flu"
Ah yes, the old college flu...
It'll get after ya.
Sometimes you accidentally get a little too weird before the game... shit happens.
Yeah, we had a student hurl right in front of us at the Miami game this year. We thought he'd be ok because he and a buddy had left for the bathroom and come back like three times before it actually happened. When it did happen though boy, that shit parted like the Red Sea. From the looks of it he had hot dog casserole and pinto beans for dinner that night.
I had a Wahoo, a Tennessee fan, and a JMU fan sitting near me. They reveled together in UVA's successes but were quiet otherwise. I guess they came to experience a top notch stadium atmosphere.
So, a Wahoo, a Tennessee fan, and a JMU fan walk into a bar....
The bartender looks up and says, "Is this some kind of joke?"
I was in Zimaville for "38-0 Bro." Some guy was saying we were going to choke in our bowl game, so I responded it was better than whatever lower tier bowl they would go to, so then he starts calling me an a-hole etc etc etc. Then his mom comes over "HE IS A 16 YEAR OLD, WHY DON'T YOU PICK ON SOMEONE YOUR OWN AGE!" My response was like "if he's old enough to cuss me out, he's old enough to take any words I throw his way." (Sidenote: I didn't cuss at him at all, just made fun of him and his team) Also, some guy was calling me a redneck and making fun of my then-goatee....which is hilarious because Cavman has a goatee.
Were you in the South Endzone? I think I heard that kid too.
Yup. His mom then proceeded to stand directly behind us the rest of the game. So me and my friend trolled even harder haha.
Hahaha, I was near you at that game! I was a few rows below and to the left (if facing the field).
I had an altercation with a UVA fan once. The whole game we were kind of eyeing each other knowing that we were going to get into it afterwards. I kept yelling "Stick It In" (back when it was allowed) and this wahoo keeps looking back and giving me this look. I just smirked and gave the "yeah, I said it" look in reply... The good guys won and afterwards we exchanged some choice words with each other. Neither of us were backing down, so we ended up arranging a time and place to meet up later as we smartly decided not to just get into it right there in the stands. So long story short, we met up at the time and place, all our friends egging us on, and there was a little more choice words thrown back and forth. then a little bit of shoving, nothing too serious, just letting the other one know where we stood. Then it was on.... and let's just say this Hokie scored a few more touchdowns. She left the next morning.
Well, that was a twist ending. If I understood it right, you managed to "stick it in".
Edit: I hope you went and got checked for smugness and a superiority complex after. I hear that is highly contagious and hard to cure.
You Hokienaised her!? You SOB! You're officially my freakin hero for the day and longer (if what you said really happened).
Wow. A bigger twist than the Sixth Sense. Kudos for scoring and storytelling.
I enjoy the fact that there's 38 upvotes to this story
Oh I get it, you had sex with her.
It's sad that I needed you to explain that to me. Damn you finals. Damn you.
I had to read it twice to realize that he was talking about the chic the whole time. The first time I read it I was like "Where the hell does this chic come from??"
And then I went back and re-read it and was like
So Aaron Rogers has a serious fish fetish?
I sure hope this wasn't similar to the Michael Phelps situation...
http://conservativebyte.com/2014/11/michael-phelps-girlfriend-admits-bor...
I'm impressed she let your friends watch and cheer you on...
Nice twist.
That's what she said.
Not really an altercation, but there was a Wahoo two rows in front of me who had his pint of Fireball confiscated.
Bringing in a pint of it?
Impressive
nothing impresses me about fireball.
It is terrible!
Not even the Pitbull song?!
Pitbull? what country or rock group is that?
I've brought in pints before, and on as cold of a night as it was there was plenty of opportunity.
But Fireball? Wouldn't have been my choice. (For the record, mine was Crown Royal)
A buddy of mine snuck a fifth of Jack into a game in '99. :)
Where is AssPocketFullofWhiskey when you need him...
I brought in 1/2 doz airplane bottles of Bulleit.
To share, ya know.
I don't know if it was the same guy but there was a Wahoo behind me who had already had too much Fireball and was struggling to stay conscious. My wife stepped in and convinced him to share some of what he had left. It would be nice to think she had his well being in mind but she had her own entertainment and sobriety to take care of.
Well that's not cool saw a VT fan getting escorted out by two cops for having a bottle of beer, now I'm no alcohol genius but a bottle of fireball and a bottle of bud light are not the same and do not have the same effects by any means.
Totally saw this when I was totally at the game:
This lady sitting behind me yelled, "He's just embarrassed!" when Motley came out with the concussion. I returned the favor when Dadi knocked Lambert out of the game (not exactly proud of this, but in the heat of the moment it seemed right).
I actually had a good experience with a UVA fan. Guy graduated in 2005, realized his team sucked, said Mike London would never be worse than Al Groh, and he just wanted to go to Champs and get his drink on with some buddies. I recommended a drink for him and pointed him in the direction of TOTS.
Just kidding I didn't do that, but the rest is real.
I had a similar conversation with a Miami fan in the bathroom during the Thursday night game. Of course I was kind of angry about the score, but he told me that Miami was just playing really well that day, and that he wanted Golden fired more than anything. He also said Frank Beamer is one of the greatest coaches to every coach the game, and that he was hoping VT would get back to being a national power. I said the same thing about the U, because, let's be honest, VT and Miami playing back when they were both in the top 20 always made for a great matchup.
So I brought some friends from richmond, one of whom is a bit rotund. A kid (around 15-16) sitting behind us in all UVA gear called him a fatass. My buddy turns around, looks him up and down and says "at least I know what pu**y feels like." The kids dad died laughing. His mom wasn't pleased.
Idk how excited others will be about this post, but my reaction was along these lines.
I love it!
I've been to just about every home game in the 20 years I've been alive and I have to say the most satisfying victory I've ever watched in person was the one road game I went to... 38-0 getting to watch all of the 600 UVA fans in attendance leave by halftime was great, stadium was so empty in the second half, I think I could have ran on the field without security even getting me. (they probably thought the game was over already) I don't even know how their is such a thing as a UVA "fan" they are all fairweather as it gets, not saying that all schools don't have fairweather fans but when your whole fanbase stems around weather you lose or not on whether they show up you have some terrible fans. I know we've had a few down years, but our fans always come out and support, Friday night it was cold as hell and to see that many people there to support "our" Hokies was amazing I love the atmosphere of an electric Lane Stadium night game more than anything else, nothing beats that. So the Whos? can go win some more lacrosse we will take football 11 years in a row, and next year will make 12.
Too much too read.
I don't agree with pushing through other teams fans, but hey. Your shoes, not mine.
In regards to the lady commenting on the quietness of the game. Deafen them. Scream so loud they can't think about anything else. I had a Miami fan do the same thing to me in '11.
I'm with my friend, sitting in second 15. If you were at that game, you remember how loud it was. I mean, shit it's the go to youtube for showing a wild Lane Stadium. In front of us two rows is a Miami family. They stayed to themselves the whole game, I don't remember much of their behavior. She had asked for a few people to sit and be quiet earlier, her daughter told her to stop that she was being embarrassed. Fast forward to before the last Miami score, we are all screaming, jumping, yelling. They score, and it went quiet.
She had the nerve, to stand up, look around her, and ask the question "Why aren't you yelling now?? Is it because we shut you up?" repeatedly, she had the look of that elementary school teacher you can't stand.
She repeated her mantra after the horrible David Wilson run to the right.
Then we score.
Then enter Sandman comes into play.
My last memory of them is huddling and holding their ears.
I didn't have any problems with any wahoos at the game but I did see many of them use social media as an outlet to become assholes. Here's the top 5 topics they posted about in relation to VT:
1-we will beat them in basketball
2-we will beat them in every other sport
3-we have better academics
4-tech is a cow college and the world doesn't need a jellyfish robot
The reality is, they want nothing more than to beat us in football and it never happens! Its like they're trying to justify their belief that they're supperior to every living being on the planet.
I, for one, welcome our new jellyfish overlords.
May their punishments be swift.
Jellyfish have feelings too....You Wahoo's can shove your Zima where the sun don't shine.
Let's just have our impervious mechanical jellyfish shove the Zima suckers where it don't shine.
The basketball argument seriously ticks me off so much. Most of the people who make that argument don't know a thing about football and only use that as a cop out to avoid having to discuss anything pertaining to THEIR OWN football program. And I'm sorry, but the UVa basketball program is pretty soft too. They're definitely good this year, but they just play soft basketball. Lots of 6'8 dudes who hang out at the three point line and chuck up prayers that sometimes go in. Tech might have been a joke at basketball for the past 5 years, but THEY'LL GET AFTER YA. Scrappy is the word that comes to mind when I think of Tech basketball and touchy is the word that comes to mind for the Hoos.
I like where your heads at but I have to disagree on this one. They play a very good brand of basketball. I hate UVA with a passion but I respect what they have done on the court. The way they play defense and move the ball is a thing of beauty. I watched a lot of their games last year because I live in Charlottesville and to say they play soft is crazy.
Whereabouts in C'ville do you reside? Wife and I just moved here.
I'm about 20 minutes outside in a little town called Esmont...so I'm not in Cville proper but I work there and the girlfriend lives on Meade near Tubbys
We should hang.
Just post your exact address and Macgruber will stop by...
Totally agree. They play anything but soft basketball, and have built the program the right way. I don't see anything but an improving program in Charlottesville. It's gonna take Buzz a long time to catch up to them.
And to date they have the number scoring defense in the country and I think were near the top if not the top last year. That is anything but soft
Yeah, last year going into the tourney they were the best defensive team in basketball if I remember correctly.
So...is there a number 5..or is the jellyfish number 5? No that can't be it. It must be..
There was a guy with a "Tech Sucks" t-shirt who would walk up and down the stairs, stroking his chest and smirking at everyone. He did that pre-game and at halftime. Just walked up and down, up and down. Never seen anyone move so fast down the stairs at the end of the game.
One altercation was when Motley was hurt and being assisted off the field; some UVA d-bag behind us stood up and started yelling "get off the field" the rest of his shouting was cut off by 3 or 4 Tech (myself included) people blasting him. Thought there was going to be blows; so did the state trooper who spent the rest of the game periodically walking up and down the stairs in our area.
Anytime I think of VT vs UVA...I like to use this analogy courtesy of Wedding Crashers:
UVA:
VT:
I never get the chance to interact with any UVA fans..they're all just too busy at the VT games.
I was walking through the stands and accidentally bumped a Wahoo, spilling his Zima all over his cardigan....
Him and all his buddies started hitting me with their powdered wigs at me...It was scary!
I'm sitting here in the Denver airport looking at some schmuck that decided to take a nap in front of the cell phone recharging table. He's all curled up under this jacket on the floor blocking 4 outlets (not charging anything of his own btw). I assume he's from UVa and there is about to be an altercation.
total rip off but I had fun making it.
