West Virginia Fans Come Out 35 Strong to Welcome Team

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — Only 35 fans turned out Sunday night to greet the West Virginia football team after its 41-7 loss to Florida in the Sugar Bowl the previous day.

“I was very surprised we even had any fans out here,” sophomore tackle Vann Washington said.

“We have the greatest fans in the country,” offensive line coach Dave McMichael said. “They’re loyal, good people. It’s a shame we couldn’t have played better. We shot ourselves in the foot.”

Said Edie Harper of Morgantown: “People supported them all through the year, but now where are they when they lose? Where are the true Mountaineer fans?”
