Ahh, the annual gold rush game. First instituted by former head coach Rich Rodriguez in 2007, West Virginia has played a “Gold Rush” game for the past 11 years. Wow. The first game occured in 2007. Inspired by Penn State’s “White Out” tradition along with the “Black Out” Louisville used in 2006 against West Virginia, the Gold Rush became the Mountaineers signature stadium visual.
From a stadium perspective, the sight of Mountaineer Field covered in a sea of Old Gold is a beautiful sight.
