Okay, what the is a Hoo?

[NineOneSeven]

Serious question. What does this mean? Is it this:

 

[Marsh01]

Wa-Hoowa
Wa-Hoowa
Uni-V-Irginia
HooRay
HooRay
Ray Ray UVA

My buddy used to sing that to me at nauseum.

 

[Digger]

short for "Wahoos" the unofficial nickname for Virginia athletic teams

[NineOneSeven]

Or perhaps it stands for this-

 

[NineOneSeven]

Wa-Hoowa
Wa-Hoowa
Uni-V-Irginia
HooRay
HooRay
Ray Ray UVA

I...don't know what to say.

It is a nickname for a fish (probably carp) given to UVA by Washington and Lee students as a derogatory name and somehow the name stuck and UVA still uses it. (I'm an alum of UVA and W&L).

 

[FortyFourCT]

It stands for "#2 seed in the ACC tournament"

 

[Col. Bleep]

It's an opportunity to ask the ACC version of the eternal question "What the 's a hoya"

Zing! Zing zing zing!

Great fodder for a cheer. We're playing Hoo? Hoo again? Will they like it when introduced and we chant "hoo cares?"

Looking forward to Hoo visiting the dome.

[Moontan]

They are also the same bunch that told Led Zepplin that they would sink like lead, so Its time for us to Ramble On!

You're confused about the number of "O's".

 

[OrangeTarheel]

It is a fish that can drink its weight, or so the students used to like to brag ... Syracuse/UVA alum here ...

It's the noise CTO's avatar makes when I'm really intoxicated. Kinda creeps me out to be honest.

Carp is disgusting, wahoo is actually a very prized game fish, and pretty tasty to eat I might add in a burger or ceviche
