First off, a BIG thank you to the posters here who shared their prior experience about attending a Mountaineer game and what to expect. Your comments were spot on!
Our experience:
1. Their fans are very hospitable. We tailgated in one of the university tailgate lots and were immediately welcomed and tailgated together.
I received at least a dozen congratulatory remarks post-game about the win.
2. They hate Pitt as much as we despise the Squawkeyes though they love the Pirates, Steelers, and Panthers.
3. They are passionate about firing their coach. The sentiment was magnified tenfold after their loss. Some comments that President Gordon Gee is protecting Brown.
4. We had tix in the corner of the upper deck where most Cyclone fans were seated. My friends were exhausted from the long walk so we grabbed some empty lower level seats. Come to find out the Becht family was seated in front of us. What a great family!
5. We were offered some Moonshine but it turned out to be the Fake ID of Moonshine (Hawaiian Punch + Tito's) 😆
6. All in all a great and memorable trip!
