Summary

#WestVirginia #WVU #PatMcAfee West Virginia keeps being told its brand is too small, too regional, and too undervalued nationally. But if that’s true… why does America keep watching when WVU matters? After WVU and North Carolina helped deliver one of the most-watched College World Series games ever, it’s time to ask whether the Mountaineer brand has been judged too harshly because of recent struggles in football and men’s basketball. From Omaha, to Pat McAfee, to the Backyard Brawl, to Rich Rodriguez’s return, to the Greenbrier Five, the evidence is everywhere: The WVU brand is still powerful. It just needs winning to wake it all the way back up. #WVU #HailWV #WestVirginia #Mountaineers #LockedOnWVU #WVUFootball #WVUBasketball #WVUBaseball #CollegeFootball #CollegeBaseball #Big12 #PatMcAfee #RichRod #BackyardBraw Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
