By the way, the W&M one still has that big drum with the old Indians logo on it, it's pretty cool

I'd love to hear about this gaffe

they did a skit making fun of WVU in the Continental Tire Bowl...

Quote:...pep band staged a parody of the reality show "The Bachelor," in which a male had his choice of two female contestants, one from WVU and the other from Virginia.

"Well, it's going to be a tough choice for our bachelor, deciding between these two bachelorettes," read the script recited by a stadium announcer.

It described the Virginia student as being bound for medical school with plans to be a pediatrician. It said the WVU student "will be heading to California, out to Beverly ... Hills, that is ... swimming pools, movie stars!" -- a reference to the TV show "The Beverly Hillbillies."

Quote:Even West Virginia Gov. Bob Wise stepped into the fray. On Monday, he fired off a letter to University of Virginia President John T. Casteen calling the performance classless.

"This type of performance merely perpetuates the unfounded stereotypes that we in West Virginia are fighting so hard to overcome," the governor wrote. "The organizers of the Continental Tire Bowl, the city of Charlotte and most especially the people of the state of West Virginia deserve an apology for this unfortunate incident."

UVA got a $1.5M donation to start up their marching band and the same people donated $10M more for an indoor practice facility. Same donors have given an additional $20M+ for improvements on the football stadium over the years.
