How I Learned to Hate Virginia Tech And You Can Too

We’re living in a different world than we were when West Virginia Mountaineers last took the field opposite the Virginia Tech Hokies. Just think, when these two teams squared off under a Morgantown sun on the first day of October 2005, Hurricane Katrina was a fresh memory, barely 4 weeks old. President Bush was well into his second term and Barack Obama was a guy with a funny name that a few people remembered from a convention speech the year before. Donald Trump was a nascent reality TV star and up in Morgantown Rich Rodriguez was happily coaching his alma mater, well into a program re-build that was still in search of its first bowl win.
