PrintI can do one of two things with this post: (1) I could state the obvious and say that special teams pissed me off, or (2) I could give you an original take about my gameday experience. Lucky for you, I'm going to do a little bit of both.
Hold on tight, this is going to be a bumpy ride...
#1
Did anyone else notice how lame the ECU fans were this year? They were not talking trash or even making any noise. I expected to hear a few "ARRRGGGHHS" or something. My tailgate offered multiple groups of ECU fans beers and only one person wanted a beer. I guess I should've been offering free STDs. ECU students love those things.
#2
Jock Sanders, why do you wave everyone off and then try to grab the ball yourself in a crowd of ECU defenders? To me, it is like the chubber at Elements/Envy that keeps telling the guy from New Jersey that she won't go home with him. Then at the end of the night when there are no other guys left, they go home with the Jersey trash and wake up with crabs. Just stay away next time.

I seriously think everyone should be given a gun and six rubber bullets a month. That way when someone tries to steal beer from your tailgate, BAM! rubber bullet to the chest.
#4
Why in the hell does the student section insist on trying to start the damn wave at every home football game? It is a critical point in the game and I hear a loud noise from the student section. Is it them cheering for our team? No, they are trying to start the damn wave. STOP IT. Cheer for your team at the game and do the wave at Shooters.
Overall, I was actually proud of the student section for a change. It stayed relatively full the entire game.

6. Let's go (student side) Mountaineers (press box side)
WHY, oh why, do they only ever seem to do this cheer during a MFing TV timeout?!?!?!
7. Why has the Let's GOOOOOOOOOOOO Mountaineeeers chant died?!?!
The only time we do it anymore is when the band inverts the state formation. I can’t remember back that far, but those old enough say when this chant was going strong DURING GAME SITUATIONS it was absolutely deafening and hell for the opposition.
I have a couple more but I'm saving them for next week.
I agree with those two issues.

Agreed
And what about the “We don’t give a damn for the state of New York” song when we play Syracuse?

Student section didn't start the wave
It was the top corner section by the players entrance. I will say though the students were pretty interested in the wave once it got going. I’m standing there watching the play while everyone else is looking to their right just waiting for the wave to hit.

Cup fights and blow up dolls.
Former WVU Student Body President Ray Bauer stopped by our tailgate before the Liberty game which made me think that a few Old School traditions should be resurrected in the student section. Surely they sell regular cups in the student areas by now and I’m sure a few freshmen could part with their “dates.”
Streaking to the ’Lair post game!
Cup fight
I would love to see this come back. When I was a kid my parents had seats in the lower deck below the student section and I would run to catch the cups coming over the edge. It was awesome.
Was it at the end of the 3rd quarter?

Hilarious
That picture of the Auburn fan is absolutely hilarious.
I’d like to hear how long that guy was wearing that get up.

Seriously doubt that is an Auburn fan. Hope you guys come down and find out what SEC football/tailgating is all about! You will NOT find more friendly fans then the ones on the plains. Hope to see some of you guys at my tailgate for a cold one on Sat.
WDE!!!!!
I look forward to it.
I am getting nothing done at work because of my excitement to travel to Auburn.

Don't knock the students
Without them, you wouldnt have a team to cheer for. Not to mention, it’s pretty quiet when they aren’t there. The students may be unpredictable, drunk, rowdy and down-right obnoxious at times, but they make that stadium loud and fire up the team. So pump em full of natty light and blow the roof off the place!

They are great...
once they show up and if they stay after halftime.
