Last evening I went to the Chesapeake Jubliee for the first time in a decade or more. While walking around I decided to make note of all the university apparel. I saw the typical %'s of local schools. About 2-3 VT, a couple ECU, one CNU, a NSU, my friend wearing her Wesleyan lacrosse hoodie and a random Notre Dame on a kid. Oh, and of course a large number of beer branded shirts. What made me really excited was that I counted at least a dozen or more wearing ODU apparel. It sounds weird that I'd make any sort of deal out of that since ODU is a local school and it would make sense with all the recent news. But I don't think I've ever seen this much support locally in my entire life as a native of this area.
