Story Time: Fun with the uva rivalry

I wanted to open a forum on hate week for people to share stories or experiences about having fun with the uva rivalry. Part of what makes a rivalry is knowing so many people cheering for the bad guys.

I grew up in a family of Hokies, but our closest family friends were cavaliers. From about middle school on, I always wanted to mess with them when this game came around. The most memorable feats had to be these two:

1) One year I rode my bike over to their house the night before the game with a backpack full of a couple thousand forks. My friend and I forked a huge VT in their front yard. Due to a hill it was easily visible from the street but they could not see it from their house. They didn't see it until that afternoon and it stayed in their yard during the game.

2) Another year we were going over to their house to watch the game. Before we rang the doorbell, we hung our VT flag on their flagpole and took a picture of it hanging on their house. I then uploaded the photo to their home computer and made it the desktop background. The flag hung until they noticed it the next day, and they called us later that week to laugh about the computer.

Never did anything hateful, and it was all in good fun. They never got us back really (wahoos aren't really fun like that anyway). Living in Richmond, I have certainly met some uva "fans" I can't stand, but there are plenty of good people in the bunch (plenty may be an exaggeration). Of course, I still hate the school and charlottesville and their elitist attitude with all of my being.

So if you have any stories or experiences, share away.
