Hello everyone,

Please pass this along to all of your respective constituents, or anyone else you may think would be interested. We hope for a huge turnout this year for all events! Please also note the cooking demonstration. We need feedback in order to ensure the Chef is reserved. His demonstration will involve southwestern barbequed cuisine.

Alumni and friends hitting the road to follow the Mountaineers in the coming weeks can stop by one of the pre-game events hosted by the WVU Alumni Association, WVU Foundation, Mountaineer Athletic Club and area alumni chapters.

Mountaineer Week marks the time when the leaves are turning and the chill has returned to the evening air, setting the stage for a celebration filled with colorful art, unique crafts, and Appalachian culture, heritage, and cuisine. This celebration of the state of West Virginia, held on the campus of West Virginia University, was conceived in 1947 as an event to arouse more spirit on campus.

If you're like many of us around the country, you may live no where near where the Mountaineers are playing and getting together with the local chapter at a watering hole every week is difficult, then myMountaineers is the place to be. That's right, set up the WiFi, grab the laptop (and a cold one) and get in front of the TV and fire up the games. We have real time chat and instant message to bring WV Mountaineer fans together online. It may not be the 'next' best thing to being there, but it could get interesting.
