When Maryland football faced West Virginia in 2002, it didn’t take long for former Terps wide receiver Steve Suter to form a hatred for the Mountaineers.
As Suter was warming up before the game, he noticed West Virginia fans barking rude remarks at former Mountaineers quarterback Scott McBrien, who was playing in Morgantown for the first time since he transferred to Maryland. McBrien ignored the fans, but Suter used those comments as motivation.
“If I was on West Virginia, I probably would be boys with those guys just like I was boys with the guys on [Maryland],” said Suter, who played with the Terps from 2001-04 and was second-team All-American in 2002.
