MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — After a long training camp, every West Virginia player is excited to start the football season – but likely none more so than starting junior left guard Mike Brown.
Part of that joy is just natural to Brown. He is undoubtedly the first player in West Virginia history to show up to the football facility wearing a sarong one day and a bright Hawaiian shirt on another.
“I look great, man,” Brown noted earlier this week as he patted his shirt and a belly that has dropped 33 pounds.
But another part of Brown’s attitude is wonderment that he’s here in the first place.
