Tony Gibson has WVU support in Myrtle Beach

The Man, W.Va. native can relate to Mountaineer fans from across the state, but he certainly has a soft spot for those in the southern part of the state who have suffered from the flood disaster of last month.

Thousands were affected. Many had their entire lives taken away from them in one of the worst natural disasters in West Virginia history.
