RIVALRY SHOPPING: Five years into the Big 12, West Virginia still searching for a holy war

MORGANTOWN, W.VA. — Dana Holgorsen is studying up on the Black Diamond Trophy, the hardware that goes to the winner of the Virginia Tech-West Virginia game.

Holgorsen's investigation is elementary. Like, who is in possession of the thing?

Back in May, when asked about the West Virginia-VT showdown at the Redskins' FedEx Field to open the 2017 season, the Mountaineer football coach told reporters “we have the Black Diamond Trophy and I expect to keep it.”

Only trouble is, the Hokies have the hardware. Virginia Tech beat West Virginia in their most recent game, but forgive Holgorsen.
