As Red River Showdown looms, Texas takes on trap test in Morgantown

Good morning from Morgantown, West Virginia.

How about those country roads? I guess that’s why they call ‘em Mountaineers.

(Pause for laughter and joy)

Fresh off a long night at Mario’s Fishbowl, where I was invited to at least 47 West Virginia tailgates ahead of today’s game, I woke up feeling a little uneasy.

We’re staying at the same hotel as the Mountaineers. When we checked in yesterday, the entire offensive line walked behind us.

That’s not what has me feeling a little nervous. I could have easily handled myself in a hand-to-hand combat with all of the large human beings who strolled through the lobby yesterday during check-in.
