The UVA athletic department decided to go “retro” for Saturday’s football contest against Richmond. The players wore the electric orange jerseys of two decades prior. Michael Jackson’s “Bad” and Different Light’s “Walk Like an Egyptian” were blasted through the speakers at Scott Stadium before the game, and during halftime, the marching band moved through a medley of ’80s songs from Phantom of the Opera and Top Gun.

Koffi says Yannick's talents were apparent from an early age. At 10 months, he spat out his dummy and began singing a traditional Ivory Coast song.
By the age of two he had learnt an entire Michael Jackson concert by watching a video. A home movie shot at the time shows him singing Billie Jean, strumming a tiny plastic guitar and performing what appears to be a rudimentary moonwalk.
"I already know one of the songs we're doing [in Tokyo] - Michael Jackson's I Want You Back," he says.
