My daughter dreamed of playing in the LSU band for years...

...a very good chance she'll be the drum major at WVU come September 2010...

...She told me she always dreamed of being the drum major a leading the band in Tiger Stadium.

My dad is from West Virginia and I have a lot of relatives up there I have been able to sort of get a first hand experience of West Virginia sports.
They are a lot like LSU fans, they are very passionate (almost to an extreme) and definitely support football first. Though, Morgantown is somewhat of a dump, there aren't many large cities in the state and it is mostly known for its mountains, which are amazing.
The stadium is no Tiger Stadium but it is probably one of the top 15 stadiums in the country.
It is defintiely worth the roadtrip.

Never in a million years did I think this was going to happen.

Lois Stanton is the football operations assistant at LSU. When Ashley tried out, she was told that Morehouse and Dietz didn't have a whole lot of percussion room in the band last year, and she was devistated. Thanks to her, Ashley got a late follow up offer to come back and try out, but she was already with WVU in band camp.

When I visited in December, and told Lois about Ashley's success at WVU, She kind of smiled at me.

Somehow...I think she already knew then the game was going to be booked.

In a way.... this sucks. Pretty sure we're going to skull drag them- it may end up a lot like the VT game.

MEMEAUX ASHLEY: Dad's going to be wearing purple and yellow, not blue and yellow. And watching his daughter, (who spent just about every football weekend in her entire life on the LSU campus) get Tigerbaited.

Yeah, I'd call it ironic.
