[QUOTE="Samuel S, post: 129391281, member: 1754664"] That's an unfair generalization. I personally know some people who grew up out-of-state and came to WVU to play sports and are very loyal to the school and state many years later. I also know a huge number of people from out-of-state who came to WVU to advance their personal interests in pursuing a wide range of non-sports endeavors. Many of them remain attached to the school and the state too, even though their initial decision to attend may have been based on nothing more than the relatively low cost and proximity to their native homes. Is that a bad thing? Don't we as West Virginians want to encourage people from everywhere and all walks of life to give us a look and maybe help us as we help them? Your schtick would be better if it was consistent. When you vary back and forth between absurd caricature seeking to mock and then trying to sound halfway intelligent, it's kind of a mess. [/QUOTE]
