Title: WVU bball atmosphere
Post by: MooseTheDog on January 12, 2013, 03:17:02 PM
Weird place.  Really fails IMO as a Big XII hoops setting.  Obviously Tech, TCU, etc. are far worse, but WVU has no excuse to be when they've been a fairly regular tournament team since Huggie arrived.

1. Random boos at random times, esp. booing Rodney every time he touches the ball (can someone explain that besides the he's-our-best-player factor?)
2. Zombie nation and Cha Cha slide "everbody clap your hands" made it feel like a 1990s baseball game.
3. The weakest Sandstorm and Seven Nation Army that I've seen in the last 2 years in college hoops.
4. Shitty mascot, shitty fans.

Add to the list or just comment

They're all really poor.  I've heard that they can't sell any concessions at the game over $2 because the fanbase simply can't afford it.  That, and they have to give tickets to students to get them to show up.

That dome looks cool.  Is it cool in real life?

No one (besides maybe flood aggie) boos as much as us. 

I can't say I like the idea that WVU is trying to horn in on our territory like this.

The arena and shots of surrounding Morgantown all looked pretty trashy, amirite?

garbage atmosphere for a garbage group of people who chose to live in a garbage state.

Nope. Just a big ass concrete building completely above ground in the middle of a big lot just off campus.

Sounds like an over-terranian bram'.
