RIP George Welsh

Former UVa football coach George Welsh passed away January 2. He was 85. While not a Pika, he was a fine fella and didn’t mind rubbing elbows with us. This picture is from the 2003 Keepers of the Flame football game tailgate.

Behavior Guidelines

You may be tempted to revert to old behaviors when you return to Charlottesville and are surrounded by your boys. We don’t want anyone to get hurt or to hurt others. That includes feelings and one’s sense of decorum. Exercise some restraint. Use good judgment.

Let’s start with something easy. Don’t dump water on people minding their own business.

Next, urination. Use only designated bathroom facilities. No improvising.

Supposedly a pledge roll, but who can be sure.

Don’t pee in the sink in the range room.

Don’t whiz off of moving vehicles — or boats. And if you are a kitchen manager, wash your hands if you do.

Don’t pee on other people’s houses.

Seriously, don’t pee on other people’s houses.

Dress appropriately. By all means, please keep your clothes on.

It’s really hard to imagine why this would be a good idea.

Mean Ole was so excited to meet a young Pika that he lent him his shirt. Please, NO.

Nobody really wants to see this.

People don’t really drink at basketball games — unlike football — but just in case…

Be smart about where you hide alcohol.

Band leaders don’t want and don’t need your help. Stay in your seat.

Respect The Spot.

Order a Gusburger. Don’t order grilled cheese or ask for a salad. If you want that stuff, go somewhere else.

While it can be tempting, it’s best not to sleep in The Spot.

And if you run into guys from National, be happy to see them.

This is Murg.

Other than that, you are on your own.
