Welcome our new sponsors: Alumni Hall and Moe’s Original BBQ

By Jerry Ratcliffe

There’s plenty of excitement at JerryRatcliffe.com world headquarters this week, with the addition of two new sponsors.

If you’re in town for Virginia’s football opener against Richmond on Saturday night, drop by and visit Moe’s Original BBQ at 2119 Ivy Road (really close to Disharoon Park) and Alumni Hall, a brand-new store with tons of UVA clothing and gear, located near Kroger at the Barracks Road shopping center.

Make sure to tell ‘em that Hootie sent ya.

We are able to bring you free content on our website and via our podcasts (we have four new podcasts on the site this week, including an interview with Derek Bond, the owner of Moe’s) thanks to all of our sponsors, including these two new advertisers.

Also a huge thank you to our other sponsors: The Good Feet Store at Stonefield, The Aberdeen Barn (Virginia’s finest steakhouse), The Villa Diner on Emmet Street, Howard Hanna Real Estate, Ragged Mountain Walking and Running Shop, Foster Well & Pump Company, Vivace, Blue Ridge Beverage, Rhoback, Phirst & Lassing Doors of Pennsylvania. Thank them for their great support next time you see them.

Moe’s Original BBQ (see their ad and listen to their commercial on our podcasts), has a vast menu with some dishes that may surprise you. While the BBQ — the best in Charlottesville in my opinion, and I’ve tried ‘em all — is Moe’s specialty, they have a lot more in a great environment, especially on game day.

Alumni Hall recently opened its doors just steps away from the Barracks Road Kroger, and it has a ton of stuff that any Wahoo fan would love. Alumni Hall has items you just can’t get anywhere else — game wear, leisure wear, kids wear (babies, too).

It’s officially licensed gear, featuring top brands Nike, Champion, Johnnie-O, Peter Millar, Southern Tide and more.

If you spend $150, you’ll get a $10 reward for your next visit with their “Hall Pass Rewards Program.” UVA students, faculty and military get a nifty 10-percent off instore, every time with an ID.

You want hats? Alumni Hall has Nike, New Era and 47 Brand, all the best stuff.

Accessories, gifts, Yeti, drinkware, home goods — you name it. Lots of items for the man cave.

A Big & Tall line of items will be added to the store very soon, but you can also order online at alumnihall.com.

Just remember, by supporting these great businesses, you’re also supporting your favorite source for UVA athletic news and content.
