I hope you all do well in the bowl game, but White needs to pass more and i think that Noel Devine needs to be played more! Coach Rod is the greatest football coach in WVU history! =] and Pat White and i are getting married!

As a team, we enjoyed seeing you play. Pat White and Steve Slaton were such a good team. We are proud of all of you and we thank you for such a great season…........You are all real champs…..

Congratulations to the team! Best wishes on a successful, safe trip to Arizona—beat those Sooners!

Some say that the fact that we are not playing in the Championship game ruins the season, I think differently. Yes I was disappointed in the final games result, but I have moved on. You see, what BETTER way to gain the respect of all the nay sayers then to beat the team that alot of people picked to be the National Champs early in the season(Oklahoma). Winning the Fiesta Bowl in my opinion will gain WVU far more respect then had they won a “suspect” Nathional Championship” game. By suspect I mean the fact that everyone thinks the teams in that game backed into a possible title. Do you want OUR team to be that team through history that “Were Champs, but never should have been?” So coach Rod and players, know that ALL TRUE Mountaineer fans are 100% behind you and want to see you go to the Fiesta Bowl and run all over Oklahoma. CONGRATULATIONS on a GREAT SEASON SO FAR, let’s finish this thing off right!!! LET’S GOOOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!

I just want to say thank you for being so courageous this season. By courageous I mean doing what it takes to win games because you know these games mean more than anything to me and others around this nation. Thanks for the wins and the losses. I just appreciate you guys taking the field every day with the attitude to win games. I can’t wait to see you guys in the sugar bowl, I know people have been doubting you but I am not one of them. I think we have what it takes to beat the sooners…and with all that. Let’s Go Mountaineers!!!

You guys have made us so proud all year, and I cant wait to watch you beat the Sooners on Jan. 2nd!

Let’s go Mountaineers!!

Great season guys congrats on the big east. Pat White has a great arm, let him throw the ball for longer than a 2 yard screen against OK. thats how texas tech beat them thats how we have to beat them. Stop being so conservative we have the best talent in the country so lets use it. We have to set the bar right off the bat, by scoring and never look back. Best of luck and thanks for one of the best years in college football.

Oklahoma’s quarterback looks like he’s 12. Plus Pat, Steve, Jock, Brandon , Noel, and Wes are gods compared to that tough Oklahoma offense… which doesn’t exist.

Let’s go mountaineers!

Congratulations on a great season players and coaches. We are proud of you and everything you have done thus far and we’ll be in Phoenix cheering you on to another BCS victory. Best of luck to you all and especially our outstandign senior class. Thanks for the last 4 years of exciting football. Now, lets show the Sooner nation; the entire nation what Mountaineer football is all about!!! Let’s Go Mountaineers!

Good luck with the fiesta bowl hopefully you will win bring some magic back to the state like the basketball team did a few seasons back and like the sugar bowl team did again good luck!

Mountaineers:

Congratulations on a fabulous year and thanks for all the wonderful football you gave us throughout the year. Let’s face it, you don’t play dull football in Morgantown!

Best of luck in the Fiesta Bowl – I will be cheering you on as always and I look forward to next year.

Being a student at WVU these past 5 years, I’ve been so proud to be in the Mountaineer Family! I have so much pride being a Mountaineer and I will be a Mountaineer for life! Congrats on a great year! I will be in AZ cheering the team on at the Fiesta Bowl and I wish all of you guys the best of luck!!! Coach Rod…you are AMAZING!!!

Good Luck… i am so excited to travel down to the warm AZ to see you guys play..

We are all proud of you for all you have done. Thanks for making it an amazing time to be a mountaineer. Enjoy the holidays and then go kick some Sooner butt!

I’ve been a mountaineer fan all my life, and i will always support you guys because you are AMAZING. Good job White, Noel, Slaton, Reynaud, Mundy, and on and on…you guys will kill the sooners. Thanks for a great season…..LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!

Lets go Eers’! Bring home der gold now, go on, now, gon do it!

Coach Road and 2007 Mountaineers, Thank you for a fantastic, exciting season!! You made all WVU alumni proud, and we are excited for you to head west to show the Sooners how the Mountaineers play ball. Good luck, play hard, gold the rope, and bring back a win!!!

Play as if you will never step on the field again, be able to stand proudly when the final gun sounds and have fun kicking some sooner butt.

Hey guys you can do it! Beat the Sooners! I’m in the Pride of WV and I’ve been with you guys all year long and I’m gonna be with you in Arizona cheering you on! So Coach, tell our boys they have what it takes and it’s time to prove to everyone that we are the West Virginia Mountaineers and we’re definetly not to be written off. Now let’s bring on the Mountaineers!!!

So the Pitt game was a bust. Everyone was upset understandably but now its time to get on the FIESTA BOWL track. You will be playing a much tougher opponent in Oklahoma than you would have in either Mizzou or OSU, and that earns much more respect than anything else. I want to see you all kick Oklahoma’s ass and prove every doubter and hater in this country wrong. I truly believe you can play in the same league as any of the elite in the country and I want to see it happen!! WVU isn’t going anywhere! LET’S GOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!

All of you are awesome! Don’t worry about not being in the national title, you still got in a competive game and us fans still love you and support you more than ever! You guys rock and us WVU fans all definitely know it! The greatest of luck for the Fiesta Bowl!!!

I just wanted to wish you guys the best of luck in the Fiesta Bowl. Congratulations on another great season! I am very proud of everything you guys have done this season, especially the seniors. I can’t wait to celebrate another BCS win! I know you all will kick the Schmitt out of the Sooners. LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!

I, a totally knowing nothing about football non-American, am an international student in WVU and enthralled by WVU football team until I came to WV. Whatever we won or lost, I am always proud of our players’ endeavor and performances.

Congratulations to Coach Rod and all the football team players! Positively, you did an amazing job in the field this year. Although we lost the chance to gain the “national” championship title and it caused debacle in morale, one loss to Pitt can’t erase your fascinating travail. I truly believe that you are the best and will find a way to show the nation our adamant perseverance someday!
Good luck in the Fiesta Bowl and, as usual, I will cheer for you all~

Let’s Go Mounties….let’s show the whole nation how WVU and the big east stands up against the so called Top conferences. You all will have tons of proud people cheering for ya.

Thank you guys so much for a wonderful season! Win or lose you guys give West Virginians a reason to have pride in their state, which, as a native West Virginian, is something I didn’t really have before coming to WVU! I can’t wait to go to Arizona and cheer you all on to a victory against the Sooners!! Let’s GOOO Mountaineers!!!!

Congrats, Mountaineers! Good Luck against OU. Wish I could be there. David Class of ‘84

Congrats, Mountaineers! Good Luck against OU. Wish I could be there. David Class of ‘84

Forget Pittsburgh, they’ll all be at home watching us make the Big East look good. Fourth league title in five years, second BCS berth in school history. We’re undefeated in the BCS so far, let’s uphold that record. Hold the rope and hold the ball, let’s go Mountaineers!

Good luck boys!! Thanks for an awesome senior year, and stay strong in the bowl game!! We love you!! LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!! <3>

p.s. Pat White is gorgeous. =]

Congratulations on another great year!!

Everyone in the country thinks that Oklahoma will walk right over us in the bowl game. Lets go show the country how we play West Virginia football and BEAT Oklahoma!!!

Lets Go Mountaineers!!!

We might have had a tough loss against Pitt, and may not be playing for the national championship anymore, but we are one of only a few teams in the country still playing for a BCS bowl game, and you all should be extremely proud of what you have accomplished.
Stay focused, have fun, and play West Virginia football, and we’re going to win this game!
Good luck guys

Don’t ever bet on West Virginia because they will break your heart, and don’t bet against them because they might actually win. Lets Go EER’S

I LOVE MY SCHOOL, I LOVE MY SCHOOL….. LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS…..... BEAT THE SOONERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hold the rope guys. Remember that the Mountaineer spirit is with you all the way. Hard work and team work have been your biggest attributes so stay together and kick some sooner tail! Owen- last game in a Mountaineer uniform so go out with a bang! Get after them #35

Congrats on another great season. I am fully confident you will rebound from the tough loss. I’m already here in Glendale AZ (moved out West a couple years ago) awaiting the team’s arrival. I can’t wait to see you all play in that awesome new stadium.

I’ve been a Mountaineer fan since elementary school….in the 50s. Didn’t miss games when I was a WVU student. Haven’t been in WV during football season in over 40 years…..This team has brought the most enjoyment and pride of any of the Mountaineer teams during that time.
Thanks to the team and coaches for what you have meant to all West Virginians, wherever they might be!
Good Luck in the Fiesta Bowl! I know you will give it your best and the magic will continue.

Congratulations on a great season! We are very proud to cheer on the Mountaineers!! Best of luck in Arizona!!
LET’S GO …............. MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’ve been going to wvu games since 1960, and these last few years have been the best. Thanks to every member of the team coaches, trainers that have worked their tails off.Now let’s get fired up and show the Sooners what Mountaineers are made of.I’ll be there with 10 friends to support you guys till the last play. Let’s Go Mountaineers

Mountaineers LOOK FORWARD to a great opprotunity in a super BCS game with Oklahoma. My family will be in AZ to cheer you Mountaineers to a victory that will rank in WVU’s Top Ten All-time wins; will allow us to finish in the Top Five teams in the country; and set us up for another run at the National Championship in 2008.
MOUNTAINEERS – MAKE US PROUD -ER THAN WE ALREADY ARE.
GO MOUNTAINEERS!
The First Down Man

Great season. I was thrilled to see how well the defense played this year. The D does not get enough praise but all of us in the mountaineer family enjoyed watching you play this year. I look forward to a great bowl game and the team that prides me rolling in that one.

Congrats on a great year! I know that the last game was a disappointment to everyone, but we have a chance to go to the Fiesta Bowl and beat a very good Oklahoma team. Everyone is saying that this game is by far the best BCS game this year. I love going in as underdogs because that seems to rally the team even more. Coach Rod and his staff have given West Virginia fans a reason to cheer and I look for more BCS games and a championship in the future. Good luck, be humble and hungry and bring home a Fiesta Bowl win!!

Hey guys congratulations on a great season!! don’t worry about these fairweather fans, know that there is a true mounaineer contingent out there who showed up for everygame during the 3-8 season just as they showed up for this years great run!! Use that Pitt game as motivation go out there and show the world it was a fluke and you deserve to be where you are!!! Beat Oklahoma and keep your heads up!!! LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!

Mountaineers: It is amazing how far our program has come and WVU is getting more respect each year despite the losses. I remember as a kid coming to games and all the fans would just be hoping for a win or upset…now we expect to win. Some fans don’t think about this as expectations have gotten out of hand. We still went 10-2 and are going to a BCS game again! That is a great accomplishment. Good luck vs. OU and know that all the true Mountaineers fans are with the team in all ups and downs. Show the nation the great team we are and personally for me since my uncle is an OU alum! West Virginia prides itself on this team because it means so much to our state. Play for pride, respect, and just have fun.

Thank you all for another great season! You all should be proud of the new heights that you have taken this program. Enjoy Arizona and beat the Sooners ;-)

Thanks for playing so hard and for giving us memories that will last a lifetime! It’s been a great year.

We’ll be in Glendale to supprt you and know it’ll be a great game. We still love you! And, we wouldn’t trade you for any team in the country. You make us proud.

We’ll be cheering for you!

Guys I will be there to watch you play so let’s make it a good ride home and BEAT OU good luck out there and be safe

LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We have alot to be proud of in this State with The Football team’s performance over the last 3 years a Coach that is a true Mountaineer and we will Bounce Back. We love our entire team including Pat McAfee that has done a heck of a job this year kicking the ball and punting us out of trouble with some booming kicks. We need to stay behind and support our team in this State, where Country Roads is more than just a song and expect a Jan. 2nd victory over Oklahoma. Lets Go Mountaineers.

You are not underdogs you are Mountaineers!!! It’s a new day and a new way Both teams start at 0 You have a great team with a great tradition of football. Play your best, Enjoy the Game You will prevail. For always Mountaineers!!

I want all of you to know how much I appreciate the many thrills and pleasures you have given me this year. All of you have made me proud to be a Mountaineer fan this year and every year before. I wrote to Coach Rod and told him I am such a fan of WVU that if the athletic department had a paint team I would drive up from Charleston just to watch it dry. Can you now imagine how I feel about all of you who are associated with the FB team? You are my team win or lose. I believe in you and am convinced that your best game(s) are ahead.

It’s going to be nice a warm in AZ, making it much easier for us to RUN right over Oklahoma.
Good luck boys, see you in bio. lab.

GO MOUNTAINEERS

We are so proud of the entire team & coaches.
Born Mountaineers now living in Virginia, Lets go play WV Football

Congrats on a great season coaches and players. The whole state of west virginia and wvu alumni everywhere are behind all of you.

Thanks for another tremendous season. The Mountaineers are the most exciting team in the NCAA. We are all behind you guys. Now go out there to Arizona and smash the Sooners!

Let’s go Mountaineers! Get off the ball, block hard for Slaton, White, Schmitt, and Devine. Just like in the Sugar Bowl, let’s shock the country.

Thank you all for everything you have accomplished this year and over the past three years. I’ve been a fan for more than 40 years. I’m proud of your accomplishments and have faith that you will beat OU in the Fiesta Bowl.

Good luck.

Congratulations on another terrific season!

Mountaineer fans everywhere support you guys wholeheartedly and wish for the best in the Fiesta Bowl.

We appreciate the class, maturity and general way the team and coaches handle themselves in victory and defeat.

Remember little mountaineers are always watching and appreciate your being great role models.

Thanks again and good luck!

You guys have made for a lot of happy times and I am with you no matter what.
This bowl game is supposed to be one that we aren’t supposed to win they say. Not true!!! Showem guys

first of all, let me say that i am a displaced west virginia fan lost down here in the SEC (boooooo). but you know what they say you can take the west virginian out of the mountians but you can never take the mountie out of a west virginian.Even though i dont get to see many west virginia games down here in georgia, i still get goose bumps every time i see the blue and gold run out on the field, and even though we had a couple of tough losses this year, i couldnt be any more proud to be a west virginian or even more so proud to be a Mountaineer fan so congrats to another fantastic season and congrats to Coach Rod and the other coachs in what they have done for the football program.Now lets go outh there and kick some Sooner ASS and show this county what West Virginia is really all about GGGGOOOOOOOOO MOUNTIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well boys, it’s been a long road this season. There have been happy times, and sad. I’ve surely laughed, and cried with you. But overall, I couldn’t be more proud to be called a mountaineer. Some of my greatest memories not just this season, but the past 4 as well, have been at mountaineer games, jiggling my keys and chanting on first downs. I’ve done my fair share of jumping up and down while watching Pat on a break away run, Darius with his amazing catches, and Dingle and Berry on defense. As my last season with you mountaineers, I just want to thank you for all the memories, I could not be happier to call you my team. We deserve this bowl game, and I know that we will play with all we have.
So, overall I just want to say, I’ve loved watching you, I’m extremely proud of all you have accomplished, and thank you for making time time here at the great WVU the best years of my life. You make me proud to wear my gold and blue.
LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!

Another year of exciting football . . . thanks, coaches & team for creating a winning culture. You have raised the bar for us as fans so that we now dream of BCS bids & National Championships instead of just becoming bowl eligible. Best of luck in AZ!!!!

Congrats on another great season. I can’t wait to get to Arizona to cheer on my Mountaineers. Take it to the Sooners and let’s show the nation, once again what Mountaineer Football is all about. Best of Luck, see you in Glendale.

Let’s Go Mountaineers!

One game doesn’t decide your legacy. Forget the past and move onward. You are a great team and under Coach Rod and staff great times are ahead of you. I hope Pat, Steve and the rest of the team members that are thinking about the NFL stay with us next year. Look what a team we can field.

Ask Major Harris what most important today.

Stay Focus and Good Luck.

Let’s Go Mountaineers!

Thanks for a great season. Beat those sooners.

Just want to take a moment to say THANK YOU you to the coaches and team. We are so proud of you guys and have the utmost respect for all your accomplishments this year.

Thank you for all the heart, sweat, blood and sacrifice that each of you have put into making this team what it has become.

Any team that can turn my wife into a college football fanatic, is truely an amazing team! She keeps talking about getting Pat White’s autograph on her #10 Jersey! (HA HA)

We’ll see you guys in AZ!!!! Look for us, we will be the one’s wearing the Gold Sweatshirts and Hats!!!!!

LET’S GOOOOOOO!!!!!! MOUNTAINEERS!!!

Let’s Go Mountaineers!! You’ve come so far and you just have to show the Sooners and the nation that we have what it takes. Go WVU band—you are the Pride of West Virginia. We love you—best of luck in AZ!

Let’s Go Mountaineers!! You’ve come so far and you just have to show the Sooners and the nation that we have what it takes. Go WVU band—you are the Pride of West Virginia. We love you—best of luck in AZ!

Great year guys..keep it up and come back with a win. None of the analysts expect you guys to win, but I think otherwise. Go out and show them that you are one of the top teams in the country. Good luck and Let’s Go Mountaineers!!

wvu rocks they did real good this year but could have beat pittsburgh we worked real hard I love them I’m a local wv fan cause i was born there ilove that place

LETS GOOOOOOOOO, MOUNTAINEERS!!!! Let’s show the country who the real number one team is by beating the sooners!!!!!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to take a moment to say Thank You to the entire Mountaineer Football Team and the Coaches. You are all wonderful people. Your fanbase, your true fanbase, still supports you whole-heartedly! We all know that when you’re on, you’re on and NO ONE in the country can beat you. So, come on guys…let’s put the “talking heads” around the country in their place…BEHIND us….Let’s go to AZ and put on a show, let everyone know that it’s not only the band that is the Pride of West Vriginia, but it’s also the Football team and it’s fans!!!!
Now, finish the sentence: Let’s GOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!.....

As a HUGE Mountaineer Fan and Season ticket holder….living in Hokie country (boooo!!!) aka Virginia….let me just say Congratulations on a good season. My wife and I love coming to Mountaineer football games and make it to as many away games as possible. Everyone knows you had a mis-step on Dec. 1st, but guys-you have Jan. 2nd to make up for it….. No one (except your Mountaineer fans and family) expects you to win, but we know you can!!! Good Luck guys! Be safe and as always…...
Let’s go Mountaineers!!!!!

There is not a time in my life when I feel happier than when I am at Mountaineer Field on gameday, and the only reason for this is because of the hard work, dedication, and fun that I see the team have when they are playing. When Pat White says quite down, we stay quiet, and when Keilen Dykes says get loud, you can bet that I am one of the loudest kids in that entire stadium. It gives me chills to think about it, and just so you know, I’ve given up speaking until January 2 so I can be as loud for as long as possible. I wish you all the luck in the world, but hopefully we won’t need it. I KNOW that we are the better team, with bigger hearts, and bigger goals and dreams. We can and will win this game, and I’ll be there behind you, cheering you on, just as I’ve been my entire life.
So thanks to the guys, all of them, and especially to RichRod—you’re a genious.
LET’S GO…........ MOUNTAINEERS!!!!

We are all so proud of you! You can do anything you set your minds to and I hope your minds are set on playing one heck of a game against Oklahoma. Keep up the great work and I can’t wait to see what happens next season after a successful season this time around. Keep up the good work guys we all love ya and support you til the end!

Let’s goooooo Mountaineers!

We have come a long way in the past 7 seasons and it has been great but now we have a chance to show the rest of the nation what kind of team we are and that we can win big games. You have a chance to win the third consecutive bowl game and make history for our school, don’t give up and play hard, we will stand behind you no matter what the outcome turns out to be. Just play the game like you have all season and go out and smash some SOONER MOUTH! Lets Go Mountaineers!!!!

I grew up in West Virginia and no matter what happens I will always support my team. I’m honored that you choose to come here and represent this state and our school! You deserve this win more than anyone else!! Go out there and do what you love to do….play football!!! Fight for the respect you all deserve. You’re a great team. Goodluck and God bless!!

LETS GOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!!!

The WVU Football Team has given the whole state one more thing to be proud of. Win or Lose, we can hold our heads high. Special pride from Moorefield and Hardy County on the excellent defensive play and scholastic performance of our own local boy, Reed Williams. And Happy Holidays!

Thank you for making the nation sit up and recognize the great State of West Virginia and our great University. I have never seen a University with such school spirit. I truly believe you all bleed blue and gold. It’s awesome to hear “Let’s Go Mountaineers” on national TV and to see all the blue and gold in the stands. Your pride in your University definitely shows.

The entire Football team should be proud of their accomplishments over the past year. Go out and show the nation what WVU football is all about on Jan 2. God bless you – stay safe.

Big fan of the ‘eers, but the crap Rod keeps pulling each year of “speaking with other schools” concerning open coaching positions must be stopped. If he is not going to remain loyal to the Gold and Blue, then we should say good riddens. Our university does not need someone like Rich at the helms.

My husband and I are loyal Mountaineer Fans living in VT country as well. (Virginia) We wear our gold and blue everywhere we go. Congratulations on a great season and good luck in the Fiesta Bowl. Let’s Go Mountaineers!

just wanted to say that i support you guys through thick and thin(as a true fan does) i just want you guys to come out strong and never relent,never stop attacking! shove that ball right down those sooner’s throats and make them choke on it! Get mad and take what is rightfully yours! we mountaineer fans know who the best team is,and,i know we will see that team on the field.if all your hearts are one,no one can stop you,not on offense,not on defense!now get out there and play this one for yourselves!!You have earned it,NOW TAKE WHAT IS YOURS!!!!!!!!

I just wanted to Congratulate the Mountaineers on a great season. It has been great to see our team do well. It was an unfortunate game against Pitt, but as mentioned earlier, Oklahoma would be a great game to win and a great game to make up for the loss to Pitt. This will be a great game to show all of those so called knowledgeable sportscasters that WVU a great team with a Awesome Offense and Defense.

Also, I think I speak for all Mountaineer fans in saying, PLEASE STAY AT WVU Coach Rod.

hey guys what an awesome season! good luck in the fiesta bowl. makes us WVU students proud to be Mountaineers! you guys have my support no matter what! we may have lost some cred cause of that last game, but we are tough and we can overcome it. go out and show the nation why WVU has the best team in the nation!

Congratulations to all of you guys…

You are all awesome and we are proud of all your accomplishments!!!!!!!!!!

Now go squash the Sooners!

LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!

Let’s Gooooooo Mountaineers! Good luck guys—we’ll be watching!!!

The Mahoneys – Mickey, Jenny, Mason, Molly, Maguire and Meredith

WATCHED ALL YOUR GAMES AND JUST WANTED TO SAY YOU GUYS MAKE US ALL PROUD TO BE WEST VIRGINIA BLUE AND GOLD—-GOOD LUCK IN THE BOWL GAME AND NO WAY WILL YOU DISSAPPOINT US—EITHER WAY YOU HAD A GREAT YEAR AND WHAT A TEAM YOU HAVE BEEN- S0…............

LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS—GET THOSE SOONERS

Hey Mountaineers I just want to say keep your heads up and keep playing hard. Let the past go and move on with the future. I am a huge fan and I have always stuck with you guys even when others said you couldn’t or wouldn’t do it. Starting from today on put the past dissapointments and things behind you and remember that you are a very talented and very capable team. Rely on each other and remember that you have beaten other teams in recent bowl games that people said we couldn’t beat. Just do what you can to prepare and go into the game knowing that you have every right to be there and you are just as talented as Oklahoma. Way to go Mountaineers bring us home a victory.

Mounties will find a new head coach with integrity and the players will show their heart and rise up and play a great game…Go Eer’s!!!

Guys! I know this has been a horrible day for you. You will do awesome in the bowl game I am sure! Don’t let it phase you. You’re off to bigger and better things!

Good luck in the Fiesta Bowl. Prove the naysayers wrong and win this one for your team, the fans and for all West Virginians wherever they live. Don’t worry about Rich, prove that you can win without him.

We are soooo proud of you!. We KNOW YOU CAN Overcome this obstacle. YOU ARE A GREAT, RESPECTED TEAM. You have succeeded in so many ways. YOU CAN WIN as a team No matter who coaches you. BELIEVE! God Bless you and give you encouragement. We still stand with the Mighty MOUNTAINEERS

Hey guys, forget about the Pitt game. If we focus on playing great football, like I know we can, we will pummel the Sooners. I wish that I could go to the game, but my heart is with you on the field. GO MOUNTIES!!

To All the WVU Players,

I am proud of the football team that hails the blue and gold, ever so fiercely. As you all must know, how very much you touch the lives of those that you do not know…folks who are scattered throughout the world that reign and resided in WV, are honored in your presence, as the team plays in the true grit of team spirit, pride, and respect.

I will be in the stands in Tempe cheering for every one of you, through thick and thin, through a hoarse voice, through interceptions, touchdowns, near misses, and fake out plays!

Play your best, play for your team, play to have fun, and play and dance out your hearts.

Each and every member of your football team goes out on the field, with well wishes, prayers, and goosebumps from their adoring fans, both near, and far, some close by, and some on the battle ground overseas! You are also our hero’s!!!!!!

Be Proud of your accomplishments, and be proud of the men you have become!!!!!

May the Blue & Gold Prevail ! ! !

To THE West Virginia Mountaineers!!! My family and I hurt with you when the score doesnt show a win, and we celebrate with you when you win! Life is full of adversity, and the past few days have been hard on you. Although we wont make the trip to the Fiesta Bowl, we will be glued to the TV screen, and if you listen, you will hear the Fayetteville West Virginia die hard fans, dressed in their blue & gold, yelling Let’s Go, Mountaineers!! We are so very proud of you all!

Hey to the Greatest Football Team on the Planet! Enjoy playing in a sunny area and playing with your teamates. We will all miss Coach Rod (not), but it’s your life to live. So play hard, stand tall, and good luck against a great football team. PEACE

Hey Guys!
Keep your heads up. You are the Mountaineers and no one, not even that guy that claimed to be your coach, can take away your pride. Let’s show him and the nation that YOU are what made this team…your blood, your sweat, your tears…Now, go to Arizona and kick butt!!!! Your fans love you and we all bleed old gold and blue!!!!!
Let’s go Mountaineers!!!

As a proud West Virginia fan and a second grade teacher my kids have asked me to offer to coach. They all know I can really yell, but only when necessary. I would of course be loyal to West Virginia and isn’t that a big plus!
Jane Sentelle

LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS

Lets Go Mountaineers!!!!!!!!!

Hello Team! We have enjoyed your enthusiastic play for the past couple of years! You make WVU football exciting! DO NOT TAKE IT PERSONALLY that Rodriguez left! You are still the most talented and dedicated young men playing sports anywhere! We’re proud of you. Win this bowl game for your seniors, your teammates, your fans and for West Virginia! GOOOOOOOOOOO Mountaineers!

This program is not all about the coach. It is about the student athletes and WVU has outstanding student athletes. I know you will represent WVU with class and integrity no matter who is your coach. LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!

Dear football team: Despite the loss at the end of the season, don’t hold your heads down. THings happen and losses will come. You have nothign to be ashamed of. THe fans are not out there playing that game, you are and you did your best. Good luck in the Fiesta Bowl and I know you won’t have Rod, but you have everything he has taught you. Take it and go and fight, and bring home that victory. Win or lose, your the winners because your a Mountaineer!!! Beat those Sooners. God bless you all. U

I only wish I could express how much joy and pride you all have given me. As a WV parent I watch every game possible. I have been a WV parent since 1988 with different daughters and your Blue and Gold rules my home. The way you all handle yourself on the field, they way you all play the game, the respect you show your fans, the unity you all have is what makes a great and memorable team. When you head to Arizona you take all of us with you and give us another wonderful memory!! GO “EERS show them what a great team is all about!!!!!!

Rich, say it isn’t so! We have had one of the most talented teams in years ready to go to another BCS game and I am proud of all the players and the never give up attitude. Unfortunately you (Rich) certainly have lost sight of what is important; that being integrity; integrity to the team, school, state and the fans. Just weeks before the Fiesta Bowl not only do you take the big “M” job but “will not coach your players”. Just remember that a M is just a big W of WVU turned upside down like your priorities. Go Mountaineers; win for you, the school, the state and your fans I for one will always stand next to you!

Keep your heads up guys, with or without Rodriguez you all will do great. Rod may leave but us fans will never let you down. We will always be there to cheer you on to victory.

I’ll always be a supporter for the Gold and Blue. Our team is still the best, out pride in you is unchanged, we just need to go to bowl and show that with adverisity comes the opportunity to show everyone that we are the best.

GO MOUTAINEERS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

LET’S GO—MOUNTAINEERS; LET’S GO—MOUNTAINEERS; LET’S GO—MOUNTAINEERS; LET’S GO—MOUNTAINEERS. YOUR FANS WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU! WE LOVE THE MOUNTAINEERS!

TAKE ALL OF YOUR EMOTIONS AND PUT THEM INTO THE GAME AND WHEN WE BEAT OKLAHOMA WE WILL SHOW THE WORLD WHAT A CLASS ACT AND A TRUE CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM WE ARE. YOU ARE #1 IN OUR HEARTS!

Congats on a great year!!!! Even though you may be shocked and dissapointed over coach Rod, just remember that the Mountaineer faithful will always support the players because you are one of us. You are family and family sticks together through the good and bad. Irregardless of the bowl outcome, your effort and character makes the fans respect you and all enjoy the excitement that you display on the field. LETS GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was born and raised in WV, and will always be a West Virginian! You make me very proud of my home state! Keep your spirits up and show the Nation that you are more than just a coach’s team – you are the WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINEERS!!! The players are the most important part of a football program – don’t forget that! You’ve been one of the best teams in the country over the past few years, and you will continue to be over the next decade+! I’m confident that WVU will find a great coach to fill the spot. Congratulations on another great year! Don’t forget – your fans will never leave you for another school! :-)

GO MOUNTAINEERS! As a WVU alum, and a mother of 3 WVU grads, I have spent MANY years cheering for the gold and blue. I think this team has been the most fun to watch in all my years! I’m sorry Coach Rod bailed before the Bowl game, but you’re a great team with so much talent, you’ll win in spite of any adversities that have sprung up at the end of the season!! I know you’ll rise to the occasion and play your best. If you play your best, you can beat any team!! We all love you! GO MOUNTAINEERS!!

I was born and raised in Morgantown. I have seen the best and worse but still stuck by you. I’ve even been made fun of because I supported WVU. Let’s go to Arizona and beet the Sooners! LLLLLLEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTTT’SSSSSSSSS GGGGGGGGGGGOOOOOOOOOOOOO MMMMOOOOOOOOOUUUUUUUNNNNTTTTTTTTAAAAAIIIINNNNEEEEEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRSSSSSSSS!

Even in adversity, the greatest of champanions are born. Win or loose, you are West Virginia’s champanions. Your coach may have left you but your Mountaineer fans have not.

Let’s gooooooooo Mountaineers!!!!!!!!!

Don’t let Coach Rod’s decision get you down. Who is calling the shots has no effect on the incredible athletic talent that you guys have. Let’s show Rod that the program he left behind will continue to be a dominant force in college football long after he is gone! This one’s about respect!

You will never miss coach R. I won’t say his name anymore in this state!..However, you were the ones on the field and you were the ones who win football games. Beat the Sooners and make him wish he never left. There are much better coaches out there that him. Good Luck and Merry Christmas!

You are winners and we are all very proud of you. Coach Rod moved to a bigger school. Big Deal. It hurts you and it hurts the fans. But there is one thing you must never forget- he will NEVER EVER find a group of young men that have the talent, guts and heart that you all have. All of the Philadelphia alumni wish you strength. Go make us proud! (Again!) And show coach Rod what he is missing!!!!!!

Most Mountaineers are wondering how it could get any worse. The fact of the matter is that there has never been a more important time to be a mountaineer. Let?s show the world that anyone who thinks WVU is second rate has no idea what they are talking about. Fans and athletes are both going through tough times now. Either we heal together or we will fail as individuals. Don?t listen to what others tell you. Listen to your heart, and remember who you are. You are all winners, and you are all champions.

WE ARE PROUD OF YOU ALL!!!! WE WILL BE CHEERING YOU ON DURING THE FIESTA BOWL. GO MOUNTAINEERS. We are sorry that Coach Rod handled this affair in this manner. You all deserved better. We are behind you 100%.

I am a fan that went to WVU. I was there the night Coach N. beat Penn St. for the first time in 20 plus years. YOU HAVE BEEN THE BEST FOR MANY YEARS. DO IT NOW. You have the SPIRIT and I have The Pride. DON’T LOOK BACK. WIN!!!. Sincerely, Ricky M Tutwiler
P.S. THANKS FOR A GREAT YEAR

To the entire team, Times are tough right now but so are you! Remember who you are, why you are there and your God given talent! There is no one who can take your talent, your knowledge, or your spirit away – no one!! Though the team and the fans have been slapped in the face and deceived, just consider it a tackle, get up and play again. Not only will you survive, you will win and win and win! You are the best there is! Let go Mountaineers!!!!!!

I know today is the worst day in your lives but West Virginians are strong people. I know it hurts but pull your selves up by your boot straps and lets focus our attention on winning the Fiesta Bowl and prove to Ex-Coach Rod, the nation and to ourselves that we are proud, resilient, and resourceful enough to remain always focused and dedicated to achieving the goals ahead. We must all take strengths and courage from the fact that Mountaineers are always free – free to choose a noble, dignified path to Victory, regardless of the circumstances.
LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Everyone thinks we’re down….we’ve got nothing to lose. But actually, that’s not such a bad place to be. Let it loose boys!!! Let’s show ‘em what we can do when we REALLY have something to prove!! Mountaineers, fans and players, are used to adveristy and being the underdog.

Come on, Pat, baby, lead the way!!!!

Congratulations on another outstanding season! You should be proud of your accomplishments. It has been so fun to watch you play all season. It’s also been great to watch my stepson, who’s a freshman there (my alma mater), become a diehard Mountaineer after growing up in Ohio…We’ve encountered a lot of turmoil and heartbreak these last 3 weeks. But I know you can muster that wonderful tenacious Mountaineer spirit for the Fiesta Bowl, and I look forward to cheering you on in Phoenix! You’re all champs in my book. Let’s go Mountaineers!

Our players are the pride of the Mountaineers! You have exhibited courage, poise, and character. I have been a mountaineer fan for 28 years and will be for the rest of my life. I am proud of what our players represent on and off the field. THANK YOU FOR WHO YOU ARE!!!!!!! I know you will do your best whether you win or lose. I believe you will win at the fiesta bowl. I am very proud of all of you!!!! I will be watching FAITHFULLY!!!
