MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – “ESPN had it wrong.”
“Thanks for showing the country what Mountaineer spirit is all about.”
“You never quit ... you never gave up ... you stayed together as a family.”
These are just a few of the hundreds of congratulatory messages that rolled in overnight as the 11-2 Mountaineers overpowered the No. 3 ranked Oklahoma Sooners in the 2008 Tostitos Fiesta Bowl.
Fans are encouraged to keep logging on to WVU BowlSpace at bowlgame.wvu.edu and let the team and coaches know how they feel about one of WVU’s biggest wins in football history.
