I’ve only gotten into college football since I moved to WV five years ago, (and even at that, I’m more a WVU fan than a college football fan) so I’m sorely lacking in the history dept.
...gotta plead ignorance :(
Mountaineers have to have senses of humor! and everytime we see someone with WV plates on the road my hub and i mention how there are so many couches to burn and so little time... : ) He graduated from SU and i graduated from Pitt, so we have a bit of Big East rivalry at home.
Here’s some Mountaineer trivia for you.
Doug Flutie was the QB at Boston College 1981-1984 and won the Heisman in ‘84. As QB for BC he faced the West Virginia (Mountain)’eers 4 times and was beaten everytime.
