I'll be there. I was living there and went to Pat White's last home game. It was cold as shite. I'm glad we are playing up there early in the season. Should be an awesome time.

I didn't know there was actually that much to write about in West Virginia.


It's a great state if you like outdoors. I grew up in Louisiana but did a residency in West Virginia. I find it humorous when people from Louisiana or anywhere for that matter talk shite about other places. Usually, it's because they've never been there or had a bad experience because of ignorance or acting like a dumbass. I'd encourage anybody to go because it's gonna be a great time. If you are into big cities, this may not be your trip. Stay in Pittsburgh if that's your thing.

I know something that wasn't included in the guide that I should have thrown in there, especially for those of you coming from out of state or even close to the region. Raise your hand if you know what a pepperoni roll is! You're probably thinking...what the heck is a pepperoni roll?!?

From Wikipedia:

---The pepperoni roll was invented by Giuseppe "Joseph" Argiro at the Country Club Bakery in Fairmont, West Virginia, in 1927. The rolls originated as a lunch option for the coal miners of north-central West Virginia in the first half of the 20th century. Pepperoni rolls do not need to be refrigerated for storage and could readily be packed for lunch by miners. Pepperoni and other Italian foods became popular in north-central West Virginia in the early 20th century, when the booming mines and railroads attracted many immigrants from Italy. The pepperoni roll bears a resemblance to the pasty and sausage roll, which originated in the mining communities of Great Britain, as well as to the Italian calzone.---

You can get them in just about any gas station once you cross the state line. But if you want the best you need to head to Colasessano's. They have just opened a new location in Morgantown along I-68. If you don't have a pepperoni roll while you are here, then your trip wasn't complete! And make sure you get it with cheese, sauce, and mixed peppers! The pizza is also amazing here!

Sorry the picture is so small...

Fwiw, the pirates are at home that weekend. I'm thinking I'm going to make the Sunday game and fly out late. (going cross the stadium off my list, not the team)

Cooper's Rock: The favorit suicide location for distraught WVU fans after they've been pounded on the gridiron. SRO crowd when Pitt knocked WVU out of the NC game in 2007. BTW, been there, done that. Nothing special.

Uh, you're not by chance the town's PR guy, are you? Kidding. Many thanks. Just tell the town's bars to lay in an extra stock. We don't need to drink you dry like we did in Blacksburg.

Jerry West is NOT from Morgantown. He's from Chelyan outside of Charleston.

One thing you will NEVER have to worry about here is running out of stock! Blacksburg doesn't have anything on us!
