The Mountaineers have had multiple fathers and sons play for different sports teams. Some have gone on to greatness.
Some may know that the origin of Mother's Day started in Grafton, West Virginia when Anna Jarvis held a memorial for her mother at St. Andrew's Methodist Church. Today is Father's Day where we celebrate the bonds of fatherhood. For many Mountaineer fans, they are fans of the old gold and blue because of their fathers. So many fans can remember sitting at home, watching the Mountaineers play on Saturday with their dad by their side. Others would make the hour or multiple hour long drive to Morgantown to watch the Mountaineers play.
