‘Twas a great night!The Jason Poles end zone interception and 100+ yard TD return to break the game open, as we ended up routing a good WVU team 40-10 on Halloween night 1997.
I was at the Marvin Graves game in 1992. It's still a wonderful moment in time when Graves knocked out WVU's defensive guys and won the game with a toss to Gedney. Kind of appropriate, eh?Honestly, the Pinstripe was probably one of my favorite... and WV is probably the most I’ve seen a single opponent live.
Under the radar moment:
Dorian Graham 98 yard kick return. It was the first moment of actual excitement in the Dome in quite some time.
Under the radar one...RJ Anderson game winning TD pass in the final seconds to Malik Campbell to beat them 31-27 on the road in 2000.
WVU is a team I've loved to beat for decades. I have a couple moments I like in particular. How about you?
Mountaineers board is in meltdown mode. All complaining that this is worst case scenario and cuse will beat Dana into submission again
They’re in full meltdown over what a QB like dungey could do to their defense.They think Grier might sit out, which if true, would have been the case whether they played in the Alamo or CW.
Also, according to them, the defense's weak point is TE play. Apparently TEs have given them fits this year. If true, I wonder if Babers and his staff will confirm this in their prep and involve Pierce more or not.

The Pat Dye choice to go for the tie hurt. For me, we were at our zenith in both major sports with an outside chance for the national championship in football after a tough loss to Indiana for the NC in basketball. It was a great year overall but heartbreaking we couldn't win one of those two games...This is my all-time favorite. But how bittersweet it is that in our next game Pat Dye decided not to man up and go for the TD but instead settled for the FG and tie. So much for SEC toughness.
