MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – For perhaps the first time in his West Virginia coaching tenure, Neal Brown is a bit perplexed by something.
Based on his first few months in Morgantown, he’s picked up on the fact Mountaineer fans have a strong distaste for Texas.
It’s hard to escape the signs. Last basketball season, enterprising fans figured out a way to turn a foam-finger giveaway into a mass “Horns Down” demonstration. All over town there are anti-Texas symbols, including an upside-down Longhorn flag that has been hanging from a downtown apartment balcony all football season.
It’s Texas Week in Morgantown.
