There's no need to troll this topic.

Stewart has a good place in WVU history and most fans see him for what he was (a good guy).

An exit ?? I was never a fan of Bill as a head coach but I don't mind him being honored/remembered..... ...but an exit ?

That's like getting a nickel raise... ...more insulting than it's worth.

It's tacky. Give the guy a small exhibit at his high school dedicated to him, that would be more appropriate. But an exit off the side of the interstate, probably next to a truck stop? Sorry but it seems like a dumb idea.

The winningest coach in WVU football history and you say "give him a small exhibit at his high school". Wow, you have always seemed a little out of touch with regards to how our State feels about our program.

Bill Stewart was a decent individual and a good "care taker" coach. He truly loved WVU. A Exit named in his honor is nice but a Bridge would have been a better choice. Better yet name the traffic circle on the mileground after him. There was a named turning lane located there before the change. Tippy Buck turning lane or something like that cant remember exactly what it was called.

I think he was mocking naming an exit after Bill and not actually endorsing (yet comparing it to) a high school exhibit.

Bill Stewart was a good person. He was not the winningest coach in WVU football history.

Winningest coach ever?
Ugh, That is Donald EUGENE Nehlen.
Stew had 28 wins. The Dick had over 30 in just 3 seasons. Lewis, Carlin, Bowden, and Dana have more than 28 wins.

Btw this was just a suggestion in the legislature by a senator, which didn't get a lot of support. They'll call it University Town Center.

That's good, naming an exit for Bill would not only be ironic but a cruel and low-minded sort of joke.

Winning percentage...Bill has the highest winning percentage in WVU football history

Harry E. Trout was the greatest coach EVER of college football at West Virginia University. In 1903 he led the WVU snakes to a seven and one record, One game short of a national Championship that we were cheated out of on a bad call late in the fourth quarter, Instead of being known as the mountaineers, we should have called our selves the West Virginia Trout in his honor.
