MORGANTOWN – West Virginians are warning that the failure of a coming Rich Rodriguez peace conference, convened by the US, could undermine chances of a two-state solution and may threaten a return to the state’s trademark violence against upholstery and Rodriguez-related paraphernalia.

Michigan athletic director Bill Martin reiterated after talks with defense secretary Robert Gates in Ann Arbor Monday that the conference, scheduled for Annapolis, Maryland, next week, would focus on core issues – such as ending the alleged bounty on Rodriguez’s so-called “shreddin’ hand” should he ever re-enter the Mountain State – rather than detailed negotiations, fuelling fears that the talks could carry unacceptably high risks.
