Neal Brown will be part of an atypically large fraternity on Saturday.
Brown is one of four coaches making their Big 12 debuts this weekend, and he’s obviously excited to get started at West Virginia.
“If you don’t have butterflies, and not just because it’s my first game here – if you don’t have that every game, you’ve maybe lost some edge,” Brown said. “That’s perfectly normal to have butterflies. You just have to control your emotions.”
The other newbies expressed similar sentiments.
“It’s an exciting week. All the players are thrilled to be in game week,” said Kansas State coach Chris Klieman.
