No wonder they went so nuts. So seldom happened!!!! 😉
Sure. “Act like you’ve been there before”
I can easily name the WV qbs who beat us off the top of my head: Jeff Hostetler (night game in Morgantown) and Major Harris (daytime beat down @ WV).WSU's all-time record vs. JoePa..... 2 wins - 25 losses. LMAO.
I was in Morgantown for the '84 game. We l☹️st. Their fans were crazed. While exiting the stadium some guy ripped my PSU baseball ball cap from my head---despite it getting all caught up in my ponytail---threw it on the ground, stomped on it, and then he and several other guys circled around, "whipped theirs out" and proceeded to pee on it. Needless to say, never went back there again.My father in law, who went to many away games, always said the worst fans he ever encountered were West Virginia fans. Spitting and throwing stones, especially at senior citizen fans were not uncommon.
I made one trip to Morgantown, and it was one too many. You'll hear similar stories from other fan bases that have made the mistake of going there for an event. The reputation of their fans, much like their smell, proceeds them.My father in law, who went to many away games, always said the worst fans he ever encountered were West Virginia fans.

Shoulda pepper sprayed their little schnitzles.I was in Morgantown for the '84 game. We l☹️st. Their fans were crazed.

I was at the 1984 game (Hostetler). Those people are uncontrollable. If you haven't experienced it you won't comprehend how bad it can get.I can easily name the WV qbs who beat us off the top of my head: Jeff Hostetler (night game in Morgantown) and Major Harris (daytime beat down @ WV).
Your turn: can you name the PSU qbs? Don't worry about the game times.
Extra Credit: which West Virginian RB had a breakout game to lead their team to victory in the 1980 match up at New Mountaineer Field?
[little schnitzles. lmao]Shoulda pepper sprayed their little schnitzles.
Went to one Morgantown game, sat in student body….and had a blast. No problems other than normal jazz.
I remember being at Pitt in 1989…a powder keg! Thank God we won (a very tough game)[little schnitzles. lmao]
I think too, it depends on the billing and how big the game is. For example, if both teams are ranked, then the home team fans are extra hyped. It also depends what time of day and how much tailgating goes on beforehand. Unfortunately, I've seen "poor" fan behavior on both sides. I was at every PittvsPenn State game from the late 70s until we joined the B2G. Some of the atmospheres for those games were intense. But, for the most part, all a very good time. We Are!
Edit: I didn't hang around to see if they were big or little. lol.
(Smile!) Been to so many that some of them sometimes run together. But, I like the fact that I can revisit lots of highlights of all kinds of games on YouTube, and often do.I remember being at Pitt in 1989…a powder keg! Thank God we won (a very tough game)
