The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

He’s got interviews down pat

Perhaps it is because he grew tired of having to answer too many questions about his infrequent kicking errors and not enough about his plentiful successes, but West Virginia kicker/punter Pat McAfee has turned his interview opportunities into a weekly can’t-miss moment that is equal parts insightful and incredible.

He’s requested every week and he shows up without fail … and never without material. Tuesday gave us another entertaining example when McAfee was asked about his recollections of his first trip to the Carrier Dome in 2005.

Again, that’s the Carrier Dome.

“All I remember is it was rocking. It was my first game ever (at WVU) and I was really nervous. I was getting some jitterbugs. It was really loud in there. (pause) Great wind. The wind is always at your back in there. It’s always at your back. But the sun is always in your eyes. I’m concentrating really hard. I’m going to get a visor this week.”
