Scenes from WVU's old Mountaineer Field

These clips were taken from my 1975 WVU football highlights VHS tape. I left the original Jack Fleming narration in place, even as choppy as it is because of the way I edited the clips. Who am I to try and improve on his original narration? The last couple of minutes are of the last 18 seconds of the WVU - Pitt classic.

The Mountaineer still fires his musket at every game. Once when the team runs out onto the field, at at every score. I don't know why the Mountaineer in this clip has two muskets -- I don't remember ever seeing that before. The sound effect when he fires it is pretty lame, too -- I should have put in a better one before posting. It sounds pretty loud at the games, not that pathetic "pweet."

The music was performed by the Joe Negri Trio out of Pittsburgh. Joe also appeared many times on "Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood" as a local musician.

I love seeing old footage like this of the old stadium. Also, the music is top notch.

I must have been Mountaineer Week and there were probably a few graduated Mountaineers on hand for the events.

My dad was the defensive cooridnator and special teams coach. It was my senior year at WVU. What a great game that was and the memories were oh so sweet

This is before my time, but that would have been something to see.
