As a proud Mountaineer Fan, last night's game against South Florida was bittersweet. Yes, them 'Eers came through and finally beat the Bulls, but it was the last regular season game for our hero, Patrick White.
Wearing their white uniforms, fans waving white towels and God showing his love for the Mountaineers with snow gently falling from the sky, we West Virginians bid a fond farewell to Mr. White.
The last 4 years have been exciting, thrilling, crushing and tumultuous. Under the caring coaching of Bill Stewart, the Mountaineer athletes, students, alumni and fans have become one again after the shock and disappointment of last season's defection of Mr. Rodriguez.
You see, here in Wild, Wonderful, West Virginia, the Mountaineers are as close as we come to a professional football team. Personally, I always root for Marshall too, but WVU reigns supreme. And I've had much to be proud of the last few years.
So, thanks for the memories Pat White! You've made all of us proud and we will follow your success at the next level too!
