I was in the last row of section 212 of Mountaineer Field, the worst seat in the house. But it was the best seat that night!
upper deck corner of student section. was crazy. we were still flying high from the game prior 21-20 over BC
Upper deck on East side of the stadium. I will never forget that game and the BC game that year. Exciting times at Mountaineer Field!
Didn't make it to the '84 game. In 1988, as a high schooler, rode along in the company RV with my dad and significant company clients. Stayed in the blue lot and tailgated most of the day.
Senior year...in student section. Those were truly the greaest years to be a student at WVU (80-84)....(NOT BIASED 
)
)Actually paid a guy to work my shift so I could go to that game. Some of the best money I ever spent!
I was at home watching the game on television with the sound turned down and the radio turned up so I could listen to Jack Fleming call the game. His pre-game set up has to be one of the all time greats. For those who missed it or are too young to have seen it click on the play button.-
....in a bar on Wisconsin Ave in DC with an ex (who didn't get the whole Mountaineer thing) & my fellow road warrior who was Mountaineer ro the core...PSU guy sittin' @ the bar runnin' his mouth all night...the bar had these helmet-style bowls they put bar chips in, one a PSU helmet...PSU guy brings it over to our table & sets it down with some BS comment....end of game, I take it back, & tell him that "next time, bring two...one to shit in, one to cover it up with"....good times!..
In northwest corner lower section, on about the 10, with my son in law, a Penn State graduate, sitting next to me. Sweet!
This brings back a lot of emotion. We lost every year, year after year! It was a given. It bred in me a contempt and hatred for that school that few can match. (maybe Vernon) Pitt pales in comparison. The butt stomping by Major and Company was especially sweet too!
My 1st game at Old Mountaineer Field was a 14-14 tie with PSU. Little did I know I'd go thru the rest of the '50s all of '60s, and '70s and into the '80s before I saw a win.
in 84 I was in 9th grade. Watched at home w my dad a WVU grad too. He was so happy
88 game I was a student in student section. I think I slept 2 hrs nite before. Frat row/high st and sunny side were rocking fri nite into sat.
Major's run was so unforgettable - stadium just erupted. I know i went from oh sh@:t , he went the wrong way and missed the handoff!- to seeing him juke those guys- and jumping up and down screaming my head off. there were so many people jammed in the student section that day. I'd say most packed I've ever seen student section were 88 vs psu and 93 vs Miami.

I was also sitting in the grass above the north end zone, nearest the student section. I can still see Pat Randolph coming straight at me.
Listening to the game on an HF radio on a mountaintop in Honduras while fighting the Sandinistas from Nicaragua.
Thanks, we miss you guys and the atmosphere too. Too bad the old body just couldn't keep up. Maybe we will meet up again for the bowl game.
Section 121 down about 10 rows from the from the field. My dad did not go since it was a night game and his night vision for walking back to the car would have been problematic. Took a friend from Helvetia. I kissed an old lady behind me when it was over.
Wow - just realized that I was 31 at the time and I am more than twice that age.
