Why ‘The Juice’ gets Mountaineers juices flowing to start practice

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The can’t-miss moment of every West Virginia football practice has nothing to do with football.

Shortly after players finish stretching with their position group, head coach Neal Brown calls “juice station!” into his microphone. On that cue, every player rushes to the end of the north end zone on the Steve Antoline Practice Field and starts hopping and shouting in a giant circle.

It may look a bit silly, but the Mountaineers swear that it gets every practice started on the right note.

“Last year, you could tell how practice was going to go before it even starts,” said junior linebacker Zach Sandwisch.
