For me, my first time at Mountaineer Field was in 1963 when Roger Staubach tore us a new one. My dad made the 3/12 hour drive north in the pre-interstate highway days at least once a year ever afterwards. Got to see the Steelers and Bengals play on Old Mountaineer Field in '67. We moved a little closer to Morgantown in '72 and attended lots of games back when we played the likes of Richmond, VMI, William and Mary, and Pitt and Penn State kicked our asses regularly. Got to see Bobby Bowden work his magic, got to watch his sons in Mountaineer uniforms. Got to watch Kerry Marbury and Danny Buggs.....Then in 1980 we were there for the opening of the "new" Mountaineer Field and Don Nehlen transform our program to "big time" football. I've been a WVU fan since the 60's......
