[QUOTE="LowFatMilk, post: 129273636, member: 1912770"] I have every intention on replying in that thread. Here's why it hasn't happened yet. --In that EBAY auction kind of manner....I'll wait till the last minute. Why bump the topic if people are ignorant of such a great deal/chance ? I'll delay until it's too late for others. --More importantly...I don't really have a single greatest WVU sports experience. ....at least not directly related to the team, coaches, or either of their successes. For me it's more about the impact off the court/field. ----Should I write about my battle with cancer in the early 90's and the six months of intense rounds of chemo that kept me tethered to the hospital ? A time when family and friends were a GREAT support network but WVU basketball was my 'escape' ? I don't even recall if that Atlantic 10 team was all that good (I think they were decent though). Doctors, nurses, friends, and family knew that during the games, if actually televised, I was not to be bothered. No sympathy...no treatments...no nothing. Just 2 hours of me/WVU time. ----In better days...should I write about the time attending a game against Colorado that I along with several friends who also had too much to drink before a game and after leaving the bar could see the stadium ? It only seemed reasonable to walk the 'as the crow flies' route. A stadium that from the bar went directly thru a student pep rally/march to the stadium. Guess what...many of them were more intoxicated than us. It was an 'insightful' experience. .....and I should thank the few students who 'saved' us. ----Maybe it's all about the times I would sell plasma in downtown Morgantown to get enough money to bribe people at the (back) gates to allow me to attend games.... ....or the times I would volunteer to work a half at a concession stand so I could watch a half of WVU football ? I don't know. WVU sports are AWESOME.... ...I'm here right ? How many people, even many great WVU fans, are into discussion of WVU sports at this time of the year ? Anyway...my best WVU experiences have little to do with actual WVU teams. .....I mean, I even have a great story about attending a Temple football game. I mean...TEMPLE !!!! [/QUOTE]
