This Isn’t the First Time an Epidemic Ended a West Virginia Season

Welcome, By-Godders, to The Shotgun/Throwdown, WVU’s best place for sports links, information, sophomoric humor, and daily distractions.

Football

This isn’t the first time that a West Virginia sports season ended early due to an epidemic. In 1918, the “Spanish Flu” stopped West Virginia’s activities on campus and the Mountaineer football season.

Basketball

Tony Caridi, Brad Howe, and Hoppy Kercheval give an overview of the most improbable ending to a season in West Virginia basketball history. The guys share their thoughts on what happened on the court and the unknown that will take months to resolve.
