Looks cool: But ‘white out’ doesn’t slow FSU

The UVA athletic department tried something novel for the October 2 home game against ACC powerhouse Florida State University: giving every Cavalier fan a t-shirt to create a “white out” in the stands. Alas, the Seminoles didn’t seem affected by the blizzard conditions as they chopped their way to a 34-14 victory. 
(Somebody put one of the shirts on the statue to aviator James Rogers McConnell.)
The universal sign of abject surrender, right?
No mas, no mas!
UVA is a state school, right?
Therefore some bleep just bought 47,000 t-shirts with my taxes?!?
Gee Whiz, Bless My Buttons, and a lot of other stuff I can think of to say that Mr. Spencer won’t allow…
No, some bleep just bought 47,000 t-shirts with proceeds from things such as football ticket sales.
UVa football is back where it was pre-George Welsh. Congratulations on reversing the clock.
I kind of enjoyed the Dick Bestwick era back then. Tickets were cheap, and you could laugh at the drunk students rolling down the hill. Hopefully the ticket prices will come down soon.
surly and old, UVa is technically a state school but only receives 6-7% (last I saw) of its yearly budget from the state, so I wouldn’t worry about a few t-shirts.
There’s nothing as scary as facing a blank, white t-shirt.
Good thing the “Vast conspiracy” didn’t limit the wasteful t-shirt budget.
I thought the lads played with a lot of pluck,
bless their hearts.
Looks like just a normal game at UVa. 75% of the seats look empty. Maybe that’s their plan. Just say everyone had white shirts on. it’s not really an empty stadium
