It was a perfect combination of events. WVU had just scored to take the lead and their defense was stiff, intending to accentuate a WVU win by brutalizing Graves a twitch. He threw the football at the transgressor and the outcome was the ejection of two of WVU'S better defensive players, among others. Every play, starting with the brawl, raised the tension in the crowd.

When WVU took the lead, the crowd around me was boisterously trash talking, happy that the Mountaineers were going to win. Then the brawl, the ejections, a questionable pass interference penalty, and several completed passes to Gedney including the game winner. With every play, the crowd that had been happily anticipating a win became more and more angry.

Many an innocent couch met their demise that day. I was with one of my employees, a diehard WVU fan, and he helped to usher me through the angry crowd. I was wearing my favorite SU sweatshirt and got shoved around some as we left. We listened to a litany of post-game furor on the radio until we were about an hour away. All because Graves tossed the ball at a WVU player who thought he'd put a licking on him while he could. I savor every win over WVU, but that day was superb.
