I pull for WVU in everything.
The state of West Virginia symbolizes a piece of America that no longer exists. And I love everything about it.
How could you not be romantic about this?

Some parts of WV are the most beautiful I've seen anywhere in this country. Other parts are some of the worst I've seen anywhere in this country.

What’s with the baby blue West Virginia?
Long story short, It was their logo in 1965. Larger context below.
"The real historical significance of that season is what was on the team's helmet – a distinctive three-dimensional navy blue WVU logo outlined in gold. Set behind the logo was a light-blue state of West Virginia that really gave the old-gold helmet a modern, technicolor look for the mid-1960s.
Interestingly enough, some of the helmets had a single blue stripe going down the middle while split end Bob Dunlevy's helmet, pictured here, didn't. He guesses equipment manager Carl Roberts either ran out of blue tape or else he must have mistaken Dunlevy for a backup. The players used to say that Roberts was notorious for giving the backups and kickers used socks and second-hand equipment.
"Probably so," Dunlevy laughed. "I kept my helmet because I needed it to play in the North-South game after the season. I'm sure Carl was probably after me to return it, but I kept it, and I still have it."
At any rate, West Virginia University vice-president and director of athletics Wren Baker is somewhat of a uniform buff, and the first time he visited the Puskar Center's Hall of Traditions, he immediately took notice of that helmet among the other ones on display.
"The inspiration really came shortly after Wren got here," WVU deputy director of athletics Matt Wells said earlier today. "He was familiarizing himself with the history of Mountaineer football, and he saw the 1965 helmet on display over at the Hall of Traditions.
"That started a conversation of, 'Hey, what can we do with that?' As we looked more into what the '65 team accomplished … Southern Conference champions and what I believe is still the highest-scoring Backyard Brawl game in series history and a big win over Pitt … plus, it's also the 60th anniversary of that season, but really, it was an opportunity to do a true throwback, which we haven't done."
