They are the Wa-hoos. It is a traditional mascot for them and the cheer is wa-hoo-wa blah blah. It is a tradition, just like the majority of every school out there has.

comes from the school cheer, which is "wahoowa". I forget the origins of it. Also is a reference to a wahoo, which is a fish that can drink two times its own weight.

"NOT GAY" says the UVA student section in unison.

I posted this in an earlier thread.. basically it's the product of an old rivalry with Washington & Lee dating back to 1890. Here is the back-story:
"Legend has it that Washington & Lee baseball fans dubbed the Virginia players "Wahoos" during the fiercely contested rivalry that existed between the two in-state schools in the 1890s. By 1940, "Wahoos" was in general use around Grounds to denote University students or events relating to them. The abbreviated "Hoos" sprang up later in student newspapers and has gained growing popularity."

But the most common explanation that you'll hear from students & alumns is that it was embraced because a wahoo can drink up to twice it's body weight every day. (We're not in the SEC, but we party with the best of 'em).
"Cavaliers" is pretty much only used by the media, though it's still our official mascot.

Maybe they should write "Hoos" on their rally caps in honor of Ole Miss.
