Mr. Barnes,
It's rare that I feel confident I can speak to the sentiments of the entire West Virginia University fan base, but this is one of those occasions. So allow me to join the chorus of people thanking you for working together with WVU AD Shane Lyons to bring about the renewal of the Backyard Brawl series.
The modern era of college football, as you well know, has seen the continued erosion of the tradition which serves as the bedrock of the sport's popularity. Texas no longer plays Texas A&M. Nebraska and Oklahoma don't face one another.
