Virginia isn't only for Lovers....

It's also for college enthusiasts. Allow me to explain. Virginians love college. More importantly they love to advertise their love of their particular college on shirts, hats, flip flops and sometimes shorts. They will wear their particular college shirt everywhere; clubbing, shopping, golfing, exercising, and casual Friday. You don't have to have gone to a Virginia college to partake in the college pride. You will see various colleges represented on the aforementioned paraphernalia; Tennessee, Ohio State, Georgia, UC of whatever. Some take the Virginia college pride to the extreme, we call these people "brosephs" or "brahs" emphasis on the -ah. You will also see these people with "wings," longish hair that curls out from underneath a ball cap. Said ball cap is noticeably dirty and frayed on the ends and look like you'd get head lice just from looking at it. Rest assured this was done intentionally. And if you were to follow broseph to his car, you'd find that it was some sort of Acura, Toyota SUV, or Jeep something-or-other. You don't have to be of the male gender to be called a "brah" or "broseph" but can you imagine what a COMPLIMENT that'd be for a gal? Ha. These people also never miss a game that their college is playing in and more likely than not, their college isn't very good at the particular sport they are going to watch that day. Example: the brah loves college football, but his/her college is reallllly bad at it. But they will talk to their friends/coworkers/anyone who will listen about their team as if they are the #1 seed. Another characteristic is that they no doubt still party as if they are in college, this will go on well into their early-, to mid-, (sometimes late-, if they are still single) 30's.
