There's never been any doubt that the Virginia alumni base is the best in the world. When the Cavaliers defeated the Maryland Terrapins 9-7 on Monday afternoon to take home the 2011 men's lacrosse national championship, it wasn't just fans who were hootin' n hollerin' though. Here we take just a quick whirlwind tour of some former players and other random people who joined in celebrating the return of hardware to Charlottesville.
