But don't underestimate what a win vs the Mountaineers would do for the Monarch program, as they pounded us twice in lopsided losses.

The GS-ODU game in 2012 was the second GS game I ever went to. The first was versus Elon in September of that same year. Glad to be able to play y'all again. I thought your mascot was a butterfly then, and it'll always be a butterfly to me

ODU thinks that ODU is officially part of the U.S. Navy so maybe the name Monarchs is related to the USS Monarch and not a butterfly

I am completely digging the salt between you Virginia guys. That makes it a better league.
