is he just kidding about the moonshine? i feel like i'm being trolled.
Absolutely not kidding. I live in NC, and if I have learned one thing, it is that moonshine is prevalent at college football tailgates in this part of the country.

Hey yall if anyone has any questions about Morgantown or anything ill try and help out. Hope to see some of you guys in town this weekend.

Well 99% of the fans are great and hospitable, and some will offer yall food and drinks. There is however some fans(mostly, if not all students) that think its hilarious to start dumb crap with opposing fans..so if youre thin skinned when it comes to stuff like that be prepared i guess.
Yall should have a good time though..except for the game.   
If anyone is looking for a bar to go to Friday night i would suggest Marios Fishbowl or Keglers btw...

all kidding aside, where should we park and expect to get a good tailgate going? you mentioned the blue lot... i'm guessing that's not open to the general public? we'll probably roll out not too long after noon...

What I do is park at the WVU Coliseum for free, hangout there and tailgate then I take the shuttle over to the game. The shuttle is $4/person. Not everyone there does tailgate, but some do. Most of the big tailgating goes on in the pay lots (Blue Lot for example) I have never done this, but if you drive down Patteson drive(its at the intersection in front of the Coliseum to the left..that is the way to the stadium also), there is a pay lot here and there. I thinks its $10 and there is a little bit better tailgating scene. Those do fill up quick though and they are pretty small, and youd have to walk to the stadium which would be about a 15 minute walk. There are lots of other fans though I know that park and do different things, so if you are looking for something else just go to one of our boards and people there will help out also.
I do know that if you go to the Blue Lot, just walk up and down the aisles of people there and you will be offered food and drinks and some of the best moonshine. Hope that is at least somewhat helpful..

Are those gigantic lots by the stadium, hospital & WVUPD not open to the public?  Why would anyone park anywhere else but there?

They are open to the public and you can walk around, you just need a pass to actually park there.

Are there cabs?  How do you get to the bars after the game?

I ran into a West Virginia fan out here who told me the place to go was Bent Willies.

Do I need to bring my own canary, or are they provided for visiting fans?

Roads are windy (not weather related) as crap. Small amount of nausea.

Think he means windy roads.  From the elite mountain passes and all that.
