For those who don’t know, ESPN’s College Game Day will be live from the epicenter of exclusion right now — Morgantown, West Virginia — this Saturday when No. 2 LSU comes to town to play the No. 16 Mountaineers.

And, just in case the SEC changes their mind, the university will be trying to put on their best face for the event by removing all “West F—ing Virginia”  :o shirts from the stands of Mountaineer Field (and grounds of the Mountainlair Plaza, the site for CGD).

A fan wearing the shirt was shown during the broadcast of WVU’s season-opening game against Marshall. The sight prompted athletic director Oliver Luck to write a letter asking fans to refrain from wearing the item. Now, the school’s spirit group, the Mountaineer Maniacs, are holding an exchange Thursday and Friday for the shirts.

The U.S. state of West Virginia was formed out of western Virginia  and added to the Union as a direct result of the American Civil War (see History of West Virginia). In the summer of 1861, Union troops under General George McClellan drove off Confederate troops under General Robert E. Lee. This essentially freed Unionists in the northwestern counties of Virginia to form their own government as a result of the Wheeling Convention. After Lee's departure, western Virginia continued to be a target of Confederate raids, even after the creation of the new state in 1863. These actions focused both on supplying the Confederate Army with provisions as well as attacking the vital Baltimore and Ohio Railroad that linked the northeast with the midwest, as exemplified in the Jones-Imboden Raid. Guerrilla warfare also gripped the new state, especially in the Allegheny Mountain counties to the east, where loyalties were much more divided than in the Unionist northwest part of the state.

maybe those shirts aren't their biggest problem ?

Well this shows why they don't get into the SEC. They have no class and they treat their kids to words of vulgar life. If that man wore that in front of my wife, kids, or Mother, I would be stern with him regardless of his feelings. You say what "How can Preacher get stern with someone, it takes an idot and fool to wear something like that for others to see." Also, I just remembered I was an AB Ranger. ummm. RTR!

Maybe they could give them vouchers for air conditioners.

Classy bunch.... (Sarcasm)

Bunch of Yankees. (Not sarcasm)

Traveller, General Lee's horse, is from neighboring Greenbrier County (WV). Also, in a May 23, 1861 Virginia vote, to decide whether or not to secede from the United States, 360 Pocahontas County residents voted for secession, while only 13 voted against.

The actual vote to become part of thew union came 2-3 years later (1863) after the war was going badly for the South. The somewhat urbanized and industrialized section of the state (northern panhandle) led the vote to keep from losing everything they had worked for all their lives.

The state is southern in their attitudes and lifestyle,--not yankee. For example, Mother's Day began in WV.

Bocephus says they're country boys.  That's good enough for me.

I rather doubt the shirts had anything to do with the SEC decision to reject WVU's application. I'm rather sure though, that only ignorant people would think the norm in WV (or any state) is to "treat" their children to vulgarity. I can't imagine how stupid one would have to be to believe that.

I promise this. If Coach Saban had read "Preacher's" post, he would've been outraged and never read CRS again.
