Lifelong Mountaineer here. We hope to see a lot of Longhorns in Morgantown this weekend. My wife and I tailgate in the Blue Lot (right next to the stadium) and we really enjoy hosting opposing fans. It's great to make new friends, talk football and (seems like too often lately) commiserate. We had a ton of Iowa State 'Clones hang out with us before the last home game and we all had a good time.
So I hereby invite any and all Longhorns to join us Saturday for some good food, cold beer and some traditional clear Appalachian adult beverage. You can join our tradition, The Fire Water Circle, where we form a big circle, Mountaineers and guests together arm in arm, sing Country Roads and pass some adult beverages around. We'd be impressed if you'd sing your fight song for us. (The 'Clones did and it was great.) We'll do The Circle about an hour before kick-off. Then you need to think about going in the stadium because you don't want to miss our band entrance. The Pride of West Virginia entrance is like no other. Unfortunately, the weather report doesn’t look good (AGAIN!) so dress for rain.
To find us, start at the 3 flag poles in front of Ruby Hospital. If you stand with your back to the flag poles, walk in a straight line towards the closest gate of the stadium. That is the North Gate. A third of the way there you will cross an access road that splits the Blue Lot. We try to park in the end space on the stadium side of the access road. If we miss out on that spot, we should be right around there somewhere. White Mercedes SUV. Ask anyone around for John and Crystal from South Carolina. (<--- been living in SC for 35 years but still have season tix. You could say we are Mountaineer fans.)
Come see us!
