I know VMI well. I was a cadet in the Corps at Tech (VPI).

Back in the day the cadets at the 2 schools tried to pull $hit on each other before the VPI/VMI football game.

We kidnapped (or was that Roo-napped?) VMI's kangaroo mascot one year. Another year we built a 7' tall paper mâché Roo and filled it with cow manure from the dairy barn. Set it up at the stadium in Roanoke and aimed our cannon, Skipper, at it. The VMI cadets emptied the stands to save the Roo and ended up covered in manure on their long wool overcoats. That was my Rat year and the Rats pulled off that one.

I got a million stories! Sometimes we won, sometimes the Keydets did!
