Well, Jamie and I didn’t land tickets to WVU’s Big XII Debut
against Baylor, but we were thankfully able to listen to Tony Caridi give the play by play during the game. And, we live close
enough to the stadium, that we were able to walk over and visit with a few
friends before the game, and we had a few friends visit us afterward at home.
And what a game it was! It was one of the highest scoring
games I can remember—for both team combined, and I believe it set records for
the most points scored in a Big XII game ever too. And everyone is talking
about Geno and his incredible numbers (here’s a great article from the Oct 1 USAToday that talks about his and WVU's success and potential for the Heisman this year). I’m hopeful that these young athletes will stay healthy and
that they will be able to continue to build on this momentum as they depart for
games in Texas over the next two weeks.
Not only were the athletes incredible, but Jamie and I were
able to take a peak at the stadium as we walked home yesterday, and we saw
sections of Mountaineer field striped in Blue and Gold—it looked incredible
seeing folks decked out in WVU colors, and it was cool to hear the roar of the
crowds along with “Air Raid” sirens after each reception for a touchdown.
What a season thus far, and I hope we see many more games of
similar stature this year.
