So, whether you are a Hokie yelling “Let’s Go!” or a Hoo yelling “Wahoo!”, remember this: You are part of something bigger than a game. You are part of a family feud that has lasted over a century. You get to scream at a rock, be terrified of a turkey-bird, and experience the sheer joy of college football.
And here is the secret truth. When the clock hits zero, and the final score is settled, the real winner is Virginia itself. Because this rivalry forces both schools to be better, to be louder, and to care deeply about something silly. It’s a beautiful, chaotic mess.
So go hug your rival. Buy them a beer. And then, next November, start yelling at them again. Because that’s what friends—and rivals—are for. Go Hokies. Or Go Hoos. Just go have fun.
