    Despite their name as 'Cavaliers' they are called 'Wahoos' for some reason, hence the 'Hoos'.

    This is the song they sing arm and arm swaying together in the stands when they score. This song is not heard often! Might help also explain Wahoo's...


    Verse 1

    That good old song of Wah-hoo-wah--we'll sing it o'er and o'er

    It cheers our hearts and warms our blood to hear them shout and roar

    We come from old Virginia, where all is bright and gay

    Let's all join hands and give a yell for the dear old UVa.


    Chant

    Wah-hoo-wah, wah-hoo-wah! Uni-v, Virginia!

    Hoo-rah-ray, hoo-rah-ray, ray, ray--U-Va!

    Verse 2 [8]

    What though the tide of years may roll, and drift us far apart

    For alma mater still there'll be a place in every heart.

    In college days we sing her praise, and so, when far away,

    In memory we still shall be at the dear old U-Va.

    Stomp, I think the writer for this article should find another career!
