What is your favorite Mountaineer game you attended?

The WVU vs. Louisville game on October 15th, 2005. Earlier in the month, my father suffered a severe stroke. Fortunately, he survived but would have some tough months of recovery in front of him. I remember telling him I didn’t want to attend the next WVU football home game, but he convinced me to go. The game will go down as one of the most memorable in WVU football history with the Mountaineers edging Louisville in 3OT. The Pat White era had begun, and I couldn’t wait to go home and talk to my dad about the game and #5.

I worked as an unpaid intern for the West Virginia University Sports Communication Department in 1999.

Pat White. Only college football quarterback to win four straight bowl games, including the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls. He’s not only one of the greatest players in WVU history, but he’s one of the best college football players of all time.

If you could go back and relive any Mountaineer moment, what would it be?

October 22, 2003, when West Virginia beat #3 Virginia Tech 28-7. It was such an incredible night, and the crowd was insane from beginning to end. Seeing Quincy Wilson gash Tech for 178 yards and our defense shut the Hokies down all game was so satisfying.

If you attended a University, what school, what was your major and when did you graduate ?

University of Dayton. Bachelor of Arts in Communication (Public Relations). Graduated in 2000.

My first Mountaineer memory is…

When I was 9 years old, I remember walking into the house after a game of back yard football with some of my friends. I can remember hearing my father’s voice hit peak level a few times while I was outside, but I didn’t know what was causing him to get so worked. I ventured into the family room and saw the television, the graphic on the TV said: West Virginia 31 Pitt 10. The date was September 24th, 1988, and at the time we were living in Valparaiso, Indiana. This wasn’t the first time I remember my dad watching the Mountaineers, but for some reason that day I started to get a real sense of how much he cared about West Virginia University and its athletic teams. From that day forward, I was hooked.

None other than the college football hall of famer, The Maj (Major Harris) of course! I loved watching him play and almost leading WVU to its first national championship.

WVU’s win over the University of Louisville in football in 2005 after 3 Overtimes. It was a night game and Pat White went in in the 4th quarter. It was about 3AM when we finally got home. Not one person left the stadium until that game was over, so we could see our Mountaineers pull through!
