WVU 35 Northern Carolina 20

On Saturday we went to Morgantown with Jeff and Sarah (and Nate - Sammy was off to a birthday party) for our first WVU game of the season. As you can see, WVU won - only because we were there!

This biologist is always impressed with the efforts folks take to tailgate. Food and drink (did I say "DRINK"!) were abundant in the parking areas.

Nate donned his WVU blue and gold for the event. Grandma is just a wild and crazy gal when it comes to the grandkids!

It was a great time to see old friends. We were joined by a special lad, Dr. Chris Kennedy. Chris is one of our students who is part of the Meads family team. He is now operating a medical clinic at Jane Lew, WV.

Bill Foster also met us. Bill is a lawyer in the hamlet of Charleston. He is a Gilmer High Scool graduate and went to Shepherd with our girls to complete his undergraduate degree.
As we entered the stadium, Dave and Karen Cook were getting ready to enter and enjoy the game.






It was a sellout crowd in Morgantown. The stadium was ablaze with gold shirts.




Sammy was not with us because he was at his friends's birthday party. He always wants to know when the team will come out of the smoking helmet.

Judy is sitting by Chris and Melissa Larzo. I tried to take a picture of son, Luke, but he was in constant motion. They are great folks.

You can see the excitement on Nate's face.

Cheerleaders at half-time are resting in the end zone. I know it is a tough life to lift those attractive ladies!

Jeff is checking out the replay on the wide screen TV located at the end of the stadium box.

John Hancocks and son Will were also at the game. John works with Jeff at Mountaineer Dermatology. It is so super to see the young dads with their families. Another great family!




There is our female Mountaineer masccot! Boy, she is much more attractive than the ugly guys that usually serve in that post!

Jeff and Nate watch the last scoring by the WVU Mountaineers and then it is time to ......



..to quickly lower the goal posts. What an effective way of preventing damage from unruly crowds.

It was a great time, especially since we were sharing it with family!
