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

In which Coley White fesses up

Pat and Coley White look enough alike you’d probably guess they were brothers. They move and run alike and Coley’s once-weird throwing motion is starting to resemble his brother’s mechanics.

They couldn’t be more different with we media, though. Pat’s admitted he doesn’t like the gatherings too much and he treats dumb questions with understandable disdain. He’s not too comfortable with the big crowd and the bright lights and cameras, but seems fine with smaller crowds with familiar faces.

For Coley, it’s all good. He likes it. He tries to be funny — actually, he is funny — and his guard is never up, which is perhaps why, when trying to explain how surprised the White family was when WVU offered Pat a scholarship, he said this:

“I didn’t know West Virginia was a state at the time,” Coley said.

Well, say what you will, but I thought that that got the point across fairly well. Then I wondered if people would think he was one fullback short of a huddle. What would his family think? And by family, I mean his brother, Bo.

White received his bachelor’s degree in business management from West Liberty State College (2004) in West Liberty, WVa., where he was a four-year letter winner as a running back and a receiver.
