Not because of what's on a map. Because of what happens here: in the stands, in the crowd, the cue of the drums and the bass vibrating in your chest. The energy, the excitement and the release.

It's time. And you know what to do.

JUMPSBURG is built around grabbing that feeling and taking it with you everywhere. Inspiring you to go after your own dreams. Your own Jump.

I'm Darren, better known as D. My better half is Bonnie, better known as B. And our black dog, The Boot Magic.

We lived in Virginia and our work brought us to Louisiana. I am not a Hokie by birth or degree. B is a Virginian by birth and Class of '93 alumni.

We are both Hokies by love.

I met B 32 years ago and learned about The Jump. Her dad was Class of '50. All of her siblings went. A lot of them married alumni. Her nieces went. Three generations of alumni. Bowl games. All of them. Together.

And along the way, I witnessed what it all meant. What it still means.

When fall comes around and the leaves in Jumpsburg match the jerseys, we set up our living room every Saturday in Louisiana. Full gameday setup. Every week. Her brother coined our turnover call: "apple, cherry, peach, TURNOVER" — that you scream when the Lunch Pail Crew shows up. We invented a drink called the Jump Shot for every score.

JUMPSBURG isn't just another t-shirt. It's a movement. Built around the moment, the energy, and the people who want to carry this feeling with them far away from the field of play.

And it's not just about Saturdays. We believe everyone has a jump inside them — no matter who you are, how young you are, or what you do.

We're not affiliated with any university. We're affiliated with the feeling. And the feeling belongs to everyone.

The Jumpsters are all of you who get it. Who wear that feeling not just on gameday but everywhere. Any day. Any season.

The Jester Hat in our logo is a tribute to our home here in New Orleans, Louisiana. Laissez Les Bons Temps Rouler. Let The Good Times Roll.

This year we lost B's dad — our inspiration for making Jumpsburg real.

Everyone called him UDJ.

He was a mischievous kid-at-heart who lived his 96 glorious years his way and always had that sparkle in his eye. Generous. Fun. Quick to smile. The one that made you feel like he was always getting away with something. Because he usually was.

He was the one who started all of it — the traditions, the bowl games, the reason three generations of one family know exactly what The Jump feels like.

We miss him. Every day.

Jumpsburg is our way to honor and pay tribute to him and what he showed us about living.
