Protect This House?

The rumor mill has been busy surrounding the highly anticipated Friends of Coal Bowl between Marshall and West Virginia on September 10th. However, a certain rumor surrounding the use of the campus rec center was the topic of discussion around school today. Rumor has it that WVU have made plans to rent out the rec center the night of the game, which they can do since technically the city of Huntington is responsible for it. Mountaineer faithful will without a doubt drown the rec in gold and blue if given the opportunity to do so. If the rec is surrendered to WVU it will take gameday to another level. While this rumor could not be confirmed nor denied it is an issue that could make this rivalry just a little bit more personal than it already is between the state's two biggest college institutions.
