BIG WVU PROPS ON ABC’s Extreme Makeover
By MountaineerBob on Mar 9, 2008 in Featured, News
I hate the show but this is a good one and it’s a public relations dream for WVU. This episode is for the Turner Family in Fairmont, WV. They had a 600sq. ft. house that held 5 kids and 2 adults. Trust me, they needed a new house. I missed the first few minutes, but I think the dad is a football coach for a local school (high school??). Also, I don’t know what position their son Desmond Turner plays, but for a 16 year old he looks big and has 2 more years to get bigger and is dying to go to WVU, Doc, get on the phone and keep ‘em in WV baby!
The bad thing about this is Ty Penington was at the Pitt/WVU disaster and they were showing some clips of Ty talking at the game. I was there and I don’t remember this, but then again, I don’t remember much from that game. Anyway, if you get to see this show, it will give you a good fuzzy feeling cause they are helping out a deserving WV family and it is chuck full of WVU lovin! I’m so jealous of the 16 year old’s bedroom.. all decked out in Gold and Blue!!!

I agree. This was a tremendous show for propping WVU. Everywhere you looked there was the flying WV or the people were dressed in Gold and Blue. The boys bedroom gave me a lot of ideas on how I’m going to finish my basement rec room. Let’s Go Eer’s!

yup, they even brought in real honest to god coal miners to demo the house. but the bad thing was that when the miners were walking up there were dancing like the scene from blazing saddle (camp town lady part - the guy in the back with the white coat). but what can you do.
