A whoop that got around.

Started up in New Hampshire in 1878. Then migrated. Showed up in the New York Times in 1885. Over at the U. of Illinois ten years later. Then used as a call for the Portland Mountain Club in 1896. And, of course, at some point later on, it worked its way down to Charlottesville, where it has lived ever since. Credited as the old Dartmouth yell in one of their annuals, it edged out the cheer Rah! Rah! Rah! over time. Even though it originates from someplace else, it sure sounds like home if you've spent any time in Virginia at UVA.

And that's really what counts – it's not who wore it first, but who wore it better.

Great gift

Got this for my dad, aka the man who already has everything, and he was absolutely speechless. He loved it!

Happy Hoo Husband

My Law Hoo husband loves this print. It's hanging in our family room opposite my "Down with the Heathens" Sewanee print. Old Try is clever, their prints are high quality, and I feel good buying from a small business. I'm so glad we got this hung up before the sad events in Charlottesville.

Wah Hoo!

This was exactly what the doctor ordered (black frame, with mat)! My wife, a "triple hoo," greeted this with tears of joy when she unfurled the last bits of the brown paper wrapper in which it came expertly packaged. Framing is always expensive but it's worth every penny to secure the quality of the piece over a long period of time. This is our second successful Old Try purchase. I am sure there are more to come. Thank you for your awesome work!

Jefferson would approve

You ever hear the phrase, "mama didn't raise no dummy?"
Well, I'm the aforementioned "not dummy" that mama raised, and while I was not quite far enough out of the woods to get into UVA, I knew well enough to ask one of them Wahoos to marry me. And wouldn't you know it? By all things Jefferson that gal said yes. And one Christmas she received this print, which now sits framed with her diploma, still rolled, resting atop.
We've now got three little ones who all know the UVA fight song, but couldn't sing you a note of my college's fight song. But let's be honest, if I have them striving for a university, UVA is a good choice. Heck, my kids even know the "good ole song" for the school. Then again, we all do because it's freaking Auld Lang Syne, which everybody knows. For such a prestigious university, it seems pretty arrogant to hijack Auld Lang Syne for your school song. But I wouldn't say that to my Wahoo wife, mind you.
Mama didn't raise no dummy.

Virginia love

The perfect print for your Hoo that bleeds orange and blue! Got this as a gift for my husband and he absolutely loves it. Looks great hung in his home office. Simple message, bold design and the quality is always top-notch!
