The University of Virginia football team is set to kick off its 2012 football season Saturday. Friday night, the Cavalier faithful filled the downtown mall in Charlottesville to "Paint the Town Orange" and wish the team well.
UVA's marching band flooded the downtown mall with orange fever as students, alumni, and fans joined together to start the season off right for the annual pep rally.
All day Friday, Wahoo spirit squads distributed promotional items to people on the downtown mall, and thousands of fans were there, getting the orange and blue blood pumping before the season starts.
UVA kicks off the season against Richmond Saturday afternoon at 3:00.
