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

Chatty Pat

West Virginia quarterback Patrick White was on ESPN.com’s The Show this afternoon for an online chat. Consider this a worldwide publicity opportunity for White, who ESPN said was fifth in its latest Heisman Watch. Fittingly, 11 of the 18 questions came from … West Virginia.

The rest went about as expected, too. Nothing too revealing and nothing too out of the ordinary for the reserved White. He did, however, comment on WVU’s new gold-on-gold uniforms.

Rodney (Walton, WV):Thanks for all you have done for WVU football over the past few years……….what are your thoughts on the new Gold/Gold uniforms this year? 

Pat White: I like them. It’s something new for us. We were definitely excited to wear them this year for the first time. We won when we played in them. Turned out to be a good thing.

At first I wasn’t sold, but I’ve changed my mind after getting seeing the offensive linemen on the field Thursday night.
