A Virginia alum got trolled in what is perhaps the cutest way possible after the loss to UMBC

UMBC’s mascot is too cute to be savage.

Virginia’s loss to UMBC was historic. A 1-seed hadn’t ever lost to a 16-seed since the tournament expanded in the 1980s. The loss is as embarrassing as there have ever been in the history of the sport, and plenty of us will be rubbing it in to the Virginia fans in our lives for years to come.

But there’s a particular type of trolling that UVa fans may not mind too much.

UMBC’s mascot is the Chesapeake Bay Retriever (so not exactly the dog plastered all over this cubicle, but it’s close enough). It’s the state dog of Maryland. When UMBC got the job done last night, people took to the Twitter streets to show off their dogs.

But the cubicle trolling certainly takes the cake here. All things considered, can you really be that mad when you walk into work to a collage of dogs all over the place? There’s always a silver lining.
