That would be a good starting point, would send a pretty strong message.

Bad Habits in Great Bridge/ Hickory is an ODU bar!!!! They even have specials for us season ticket holders. They broadcast every game ODU has on tv and sometimes stream it

Awesome! What's the turnout like?

Sometimes not a seat in the house... check them out on facebook

Maybe we'll try and get a Va Bch chapter going next year. Maybe, Baker Street?

Baker Street went out of business.... but Bad Habits is only 4 miles down Centerville from Baker Street

Oh no. That must be recent. Now wonder drinks were so cheap.

Watched the Pitt game at CP Shuckers on Shore Drive. Had the game along with the audio throughout the bar.

Shorebreak does a nice job too.

Here is my story. Lately I have been wearing my ODU Monarchs Cap when out. It is the Light blue and white hate with the emblem on the from that says Monarchs.

Once somebody thought it was a Cowboys hat. I had to correct them and say no, it is a hat for my Alma Mater Old Dominion University. If that wasn't enough another someone at first thought it was a Rams hat. Again I had to explain it was an Old Dominion University hat.

Both of these incidents happened in Northern Virginia where Tech seems to rule. Ughhh!!!

Can vouch for bad habits. Owners are super nice. They had a thing for us when a friend passed away. Good food and nice folks.

This is why i stick to the old style blue hat with white lettering or white hat with blue lettering, "ODU" with Old Dominion University written under it. Kinda hard to argue with that one.

We're making a name for ourselves one city at a time, and we don't need a blue field to do it

I watched at Shorebreak; they are ODU friendly. There were a lot of Clemson/FSU people there. Some in the FSU camp were tough to be around. lol

BTW if you ever watch a game there I can recommend the chipotle shrimp tacos.

Had hoped to watch it at Chick's Oyster Bar but they did not carry it.

I know you're a GB guy to, Joe Habit the owner was a teacher at GBH in the 90s and Hickorys first football coach. He is a JMU guy but he is alright lol.

Billy and I were in in St Thomas for the first Paradise Jam. We stayed at a Best Western near the airport. We were at the outdoor bar/grill in our ODU t-shirts. This cute blonde walks up to us and tells us she was a cheerleader. Actually she was on the squad the year of our Villanova NCAA win. She and her husband were at the hotel as a shore excursion on their honeymoon cruise.

"Husband" ? That totally killed the fantasy I was enjoying about your story...



Well re: reppibg the monarchs. I'm sitting in a bar in Tokyo right now. Is that global enough?


Let's go Monarchs!!! (FVCU)

For god sake find us a Sumo Wrestler for the defensive line.

Our brand will expand more in Hampton Roads once football hits the big time. Once we have a few seasons in FBS, people will start to notice, merchandise will become more plentiful, etc.

The fact that we've now beat ECU for three recruits says a ton.

Keep this up everyone!

Has everyone seen the new commercials running locally?
