re: WVU to play VT at FedEx field in 2017 and Tenn in 2018

Keep Marcus away and we should be ok...maybe

I was at that game, there were no fights that I saw but a big WVU redneck told some VT fans he was going to throw them off the upper deck if they stood up and cheered one more time he seemed serious

O fo sho

I was also at that '05 game when I was in high school and it def goes both ways between the fan bases. However, I have never seen WVU throw batteries or bags of piss like VT, Louisville, and Pitt fans claim.

Also, the story about WV fans hitting Randy Shannon with a 55 gallon drum is embellished.

that's cool


the elite SW Va folk were embarrassing jersey kids in the pit when we were 15

I hate WVU as much as the next person, but all fanbases have terrible fans, especially when it is a rivalry.

Yes, I am old, but back in the late 80s, early 90s, we had stuff thrown on us by WVu fans (tough luck Major) in Morgantown, but we also had all kinds of pennies thrown at us at NC State as they were going to the Copper Bowl (damn I am old).

But the WVu games at VT in the 2000s, I saw some over the top slurs, fingers, etc being given to WVu fans in their section.

There are a lot of great people who went to these schools, lives in these States and hopefully the nonsense can stop so we can get back on with the rivalry.

And if Hogs is out, bring back Nehlen one more time....what a great man, and coach...
