I was going to weave together some sort of post about what happens in those battles to recover a fumble. Seemed like an interesting topic with unique perspectives.

“Everything you can think of,” said WVU Coach Bill Stewart, a linebacker in his playing days, “I’ve done it and had it done to me.”

Perhaps that’s why when Scooter Berry recovered a fumble against Colorado and Doug Slavonic grabbed one against Marshall, they tried their hardest to get to their feet and give the ball to the referee. They’re defensive linemen and spend enough time under a half-ton or ton of teammates and opponents.

“You want to get out of there as fast as you can,” linebacker Mortty Ivy said. “You don’t want to get caught under all those people putting their hands in your face and grabbing your throat. People will do anything to get you to let go of that ball.”

But the first comment at the end of the story seems like the bigger deal to me:

Sounds like a game of Twister with my sisters…..

Of course it was anonymous!
