So i ran a poll on Twitter yesterday asking which of three injuries is the most significant in West Virginia Mountaineers history. There is a reason I say significant and not a host of other adjectives because while two of the injuries were heartbreakers, one jump started an era. Not all injuries have to be “bad”.
So which of these three injuries is the most significant?
This is the one that jumps to most people’s minds when we talk about this subject and for good reason. It was the one time that West Virginia was on the doorstep of a national championship.
