Brown’s first impression of Kanawha Valley: This is Mountaineer country

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — WVU football coach Neal Brown got his first full taste of West Virginia’s capital city and the Kanawha Valley on Monday.

Brown, appearing at the WVU Mountaineer Athletic Club Scholarship Dinner inside the Charleston Coliseum and Convention Center, said the day was his first in Charleston as far as going to functions and meeting fans since becoming the coach.

He said the event’s reception from WVU faithful has been like his overall reception since taking over in January: outstanding.

“I appreciate the people here and our fan base for welcoming not only myself and our family but also the staff and their families as well,” Brown said.
