    "Canes are always a tough one for the Hoos, but I think we got more talent than they do right now, especially on D.</p>

    There were a lot of seasons when us Hoos fans didn't really feel bad after losing a game to Miami. UVA aint supposed to beat Miami ! On the other hand, those few occaisions when UVA snuck in a W, it was the biggest deal on Earth, especially in C'ville. ESPN would lead with that game's hi-lites. Same holds true of FSU.</p>

    So, yeah I'll be down if we lose this one.</p>

    GO HOOS</p>

    'Hoos, is short for Wahoos. Back in the 20's UVA's team returned from a big win on the road. The whole town showed up to meet the train, and, as the story goes, everyone began shouting "WAHOO"!</p>

    Somehow it managed to stick.</p>

    As for the Hokie, well, a Hokie is a castrated male turkey. Apparently castration made them bigger and more muscular. To eat.</p>

    I'm not "from" Virginia but I've lived here for nearly 30 years and I don't get why you'd call a team "Hokies"</p>

    The word has 2 meanings, and both are bad.</p>

    Castrated turkey is in urban dictionary online. Even as a Tech fan, I haven't heard that anywhere else. It had really no meaning. Techexplains ithere </p>

    Well, I guess if my schools mascot was a castrated turkey, I'd invent some story to put on-line too !</p>
