Nicest fans i've ever dealt with. Half of section 204 wanted to kill me though for the shite I was talking in the second half though. But WVU fans were the tits.


Not the same section, but this was my experience as well.

Mountaineer fans were very gracious to us. No problems whatsoever. I wish them luck if they want the SEC....

We had a good time with the WVU fans. Like most people say, the older ones were very nice and welcoming. The young "pepperoni faced" kids were what you would expect.

We made it to game day and hoisted a huge sign...



This didn't get us a beer bottle to the back of the head; however, after the game some dude tossed a full can of beer at us, but missed...so, there...

It was almost like a mass email went out the week before and told WVU fans to be nice to everyone. It was definitely better than I expected.

Because that actually did happen.

Most common phrase I heard all weekend was "Welcome to Morgantown". Second most common was "Your team is great". And that was before the game for the most part.

The only exception was walking into the stadium at the east gate. Typical student bullchit, but I considered it hostile.

We tailgated in the purple lot, and from what I could tell, it was probably a more laid back area. As far as food, they have these "Pepperoni Rolls" that taste like...bread and pepperoni. They sucked. We cooked pastalaya, jambalaya, boudin, and burgers. They ate a lot more of our food than we ate of theirs, although I did get some decent pork loin from one group. The WVU fans enjoyed Abita Beer.

The female population, at least where we were, all had one common trait. Nice arses. I didn't see any with missing teeth either. I was surprisingly impressed by the talent on hand.

The fans in the stadium were pretty laid back in our section, but let's face it...we outnumbered them where I was sitting. (Upper 202) I walked to the concession stand in the fourth (I think), and when we scored, (Ford's touchdown I think), the place emptied. As they were walking out, they all said "Your team is awesome" or something like that.

I don't think they're SEC material, but that's not based on the fanbase. That's based on the fact that they think they're Oregon and can boo injured players, even if it's offensive linemen. That's a display of ignorance. I could almost see booing the defensive players that go down with cramps, although I would hope our fanbase would never do it. But T-Bob?? Ignorant. Shows their fanbase isn't football smart enough for a move like this.

Loved it. Fans will be fans. Most part they were cool. Guy at the sports bar bought me a round and thanked us for coming. They sometimes were a little crude but nothing compared to R kansas....

Loved the stadium energy.

Would love WVA in the SEC.

We sat a couple of rows up from the LSU band. Stadium was very loud. The WVU fanbase mindset was like the LSU mindset in the mid-90's.

I'm sure they felt the same way we did after the Bama 1996 Alexander the Great game. I was a student at the time and was crushed after that game.

I think that was the 1st time Game Day had been to Baton Rouge.

I had a great time with the WVU fans before, during, and after the game. I was not around the younger crowd. The ones that I saw would say "f-ck LSU". I just ignored these people. I would go back to another game there.
I went in their basketball arena, nice stadium.

I'm glad to see most had a good time. For those who were saying people almost seemed too nice, well that's honestly how people from West Virginia are. If you come on a gameday it may get rowdy and hostile at times but if you come on a nongameday people really are that nice.

I agree. After following LSU football for 40 years this was one of our finest experiences. People were so nice, friendly; could not do enough for us. My husband was dressed from head to toe in LSU gold; many W.V. Fans stopped to ask if they could take a picture with him; both before and after the game.
