I've seen how mean and snooty Virginia is to West Virginia firsthand, so it's easy for me to hop on this bandwagon (btw, KSUBrian will be driving said bandwagon).

West Virginia is hands down the most oddly shaped state.

On the bright side you will find that no college bar in Morgantown bothers to check I.D.'s and they do party hearty.  Well worth a road trip if you've never been there.

About six years ago, my brother stopped in Morgantown during a road trip, got blasted in a WVU bar, and sent me a message at 3 am informing me "YOU JUST GOT TEXTSNOGGLED!"

Maybe my favorite text message ever.

Joke heard at snobby NOVA country club:

Three West Virginians walked into a bar. They never left.

More evidence we are kinfolk with WVU:

DU: Good to know, Andy. Thanks for the insight. That helps schools a lot, but I still think it doesn't changes much for fans. Flying into Clarksburg is considerably more expensive. It's going to help make sure athletes aren't exhausted from travel, but West Virginia will be tough to get to for some fans. That said, that's nothing new for most fans.

Manhattan, College Station, Waco, Stillwater and Columbia all required drives of an hour or two after for most fans coming to the game after flying into nearby major cities.

Truly just the worst forum ever created over at the couch burning place. Just bad to the core. Also lol at the fact they think calling our coach old balls is something made up by uk fans and that we don't care for it. Again just the worst internet fan site ever created.
