Went to the football training room yesterday- the boys are all very excited but focused, and look forward to the atmosphere this weekend. Thought I should remind everyone that it’s our duty to make it one hard to play in:

Earlier in the season, after our loss to, as Rich Rod called them, “that team down south”, I wrote an article asking everyone not to lose faith in our football team. I wanted to remind everyone about the determination our boys had, and just who we were- the West Virginia Mountaineers.

And this weekend, those same Mountaineers are going to be playing one-if not the-biggest game in school history, as the highest ranked squad in school history. It is not only our obligation, but our privilege, to show as much support for this team as humanly achievable.

So this weekend, go to the game. WEAR GOLD and BE LOUD. It’s the 100th Backyard Brawl. It’s Pitt AT West Virginia. Let’s be the 12th man for our team. And let’s bring “Almost Heaven” a little closer to just that.
