February 3, 201016 yr http://msn.foxsports.com/cbk/story/WVU-student-section-under-fire-for-profanity-020210/?gt1=39002 This does not surprise me for one minute. I thought the chants at Pitino in the UL game showed what WVU fans have been known for over the years, ... nothing is off limits no matter how much bad taste it may show. They really just don't care.
February 3, 201016 yr Author True, it does happen everywhere. But let me tell you from personal experience that WVU makes most other student bodies look like rank amateurs with the profanity they use towards the opposition. Nothing and I mean nothing is off limits with them.

February 3, 201016 yr Author What is your personal experience? Lived there for 5 years, attended some WVU games. Still cheer for WVU when they aren't playing a team I may like better. Worked with tons of WVU grads and fans. The part I love about their fans is that they absolutely want to get every advantage out of being the home team and are very passionate about their sports, ... especially football. Don't get me wrong, some of the nicest people I have ever known are friends I made while in WV. I loved my time there. But no home fans can be rougher on opposing players and coaches than the Mountaineers.
February 3, 201016 yr As an Alum of WVU, I agree with you totally. Some fans are over the top, and I have to admit I have burned a few couches in my day! Now that I'm older, I do wish we were known for something a little more kinder. I go back several times a year to watch them play football, and go to watch them play the Cards in the 'Ville and up to Cincy when they are there.

Nearly every fanbase has a certain percent that can be over the top. Had a guy that worked for me in WV that was a WVU alum and he used that exact same term having 'burned a few couches in his day'. Cracked me up. I never burned a couch in college, ... however 2 roomates of mine did burn a recliner one night! I guess that counts!

February 3, 201016 yr Author See: South Carolina fans my man. I have heard that they are high on that list as well. Never been to a game at SC, but know that their fans at UK games can get pretty wild.

I've never been treated worse in my life, other than a few threads here on BGP, and that last part was a joke, only kidding. Seriously though, I even got kicked in the chin by a small boy and his Dad just laughed about it. That's the truth.
February 4, 201016 yr Huggs just had to take the mic Sam Wyche style to yell at the WVU students for throwing things on the floor. Stay classy Morgantown...
February 4, 201016 yr All that was missing was "You don't live in Morgantown....................wait......................" :lol:
