Between The Horns
An editorial by Secret Agent #70

So the Herd is now playing in Charleston. Hmmmm. That's the state capital. Hmmmm. And Charleston's mayor is going to be there. Hmmm. And the GMAC Bowl trophy is going to be there. Hmmm. And WVU is not going to be there. Big hmmm..

What's that smell? (sniff sniff). Oh, that's just Firin' Byron lighting up the pigskin there...ok, maybe it's Big Terry's ribs. The Herd is the main attraction a "community event" in Charleston. I just wonder how much community is really involved here. Perhaps there's some bigger reason other than to put out a special post mark. I can think of one...a Marshall WVU matchup in the fall maybe?

Personally, I think this little shindig at Oakes field is a testing ground to see what kind of fan response the Herd has outside of Huntington. I can almost see the legislators kicking back and thinking..."we can make money off this". Go Mayor Go! Go for it on 4th and inches when you can. Hey, gimme a hot dog! - - ka ching!

I just hope the WV legislature gets the heck out of the way and let the two schools do the match up. Actually it's more like a dream, because they won't. So in that case let me break it down our folks at the Capital building.

One football ticket - $25
One Stewarts hotdog - $3
One soft drink - $1.50

Go Herd
