You are looking live at the scene outside Bill Snyder Family Stadium. It’s a little like Toomers Corner, yes? It’s WVU v. Kansas State and not only are the Mountaineers playing their third Big 12 opponent coming out of an open week, but it’s also Homecoming for the Wildcats.

Terribly nice people, I must say. Enjoyed a few elevator rides and waits in checkout lines with folks quick to note I was an out-of-towner specifically because I wasn’t wearing purple. Where else does that happen that doesn’t involve Prince?

Snyder is kind of like the king here. I don’t wan to pound that into the ground, but there aren’t a lot of stadiums that are known by a person’s name and the ones that are aren’t commonly referred to by the name. A lot of people call Darrell K Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium just Memorial Stadium. DKR is also socially acceptable.  Mountaineer Field trumps Milan Puskar Stadium. A lot of the namesakes are no longer with us. Bill Snyder is not only with us, but he’s actively coaching. It’s a rarity and it works because he’s kind of like the perfect guy for this place. It’s all very familial and those are the kinds of things Snyder constantly preaches as the fabric of his intrinsic values.

Dude also loves his throwback windbreakers, his coffee and his Taco Bell. Good man.

Speaking of food, how about this greeting inside the press box?

I like this place. How about a uniquely flavored and succulent live post? Place your order, please.
