You are looking live at one of the wonders of the world. Behold Godzillatron, a video board so big it has a Wikipedia page.

You know that story from the Orange Bowl about how a wee Geno used to sit outside his home in Miramar and watch the bowl games on the Jumbotron? His mom can see today’s game from the very same spot. True story.

I’m not going to get too “Ohh! Lookit!” about this place and show you things that are just things, but the things here are indeed top shelf. The facilities are really quite impressive. I’d go watch a track meet just because of the track stadium. Also, they have a track stadium. You wonder how a kid who grows up a fan and gets a tour as a recruit ever says no.

And that video board is amazing.

OK, got that out of my system. Pregame notes: No Shawne Alston, of course, and no Travis Bell again. Cornerback Avery Williams and safety Matt Moro are both out for the fifth time in five games this season and I want to point out that they were both supposed to give WVU some depth in 2012. Moro was very good n the spring and there was cautious thought Williams was good enough to push for a starting spot.

The available Mountaineers are wearing white on white and it looks like Texas will wear its orange on white. WVU is 16-7 in its look since 2001 — and that’s not bad since that’s mostly road games. Exception: The Whiteout in 2008 that was not — repeat: NOT! — about Pat White.

More significantly is this date in history. The Mountaineers are 10-5 all-time on October 6 including a slobberknocker 56 years ago today. It was a spirited competition among the gridders that made onlookers say “Huzzah,” I tell you. Final score: WVU 7, Texas 6. And it was a night game, too.

I’m thinking we’re going to see a little more offense tonight, yes?

Onto the live action. Creep with me as I roll through the hood …
