Good Luck Charm

Those of you who know our friend Robin here at One Stack Mind would have to agree, he’s never been much of a football fan.  Sure, he’s played some football videogames and sat through a game or two on TV, but he would be the first to admit that it ended there.  That all changed one early January evening.

You see, ol’ Rob (as he loves to be called) was talked into taking a trip to Atlanta for the Sugar Bowl.  At first, he just went along for the fun of travel.  By the time that he left Atlanta, however, he was bleeding blue and gold.  (For those who don’t follow WVU football, WVU defeated Georgia 38-35 in the Sugar Bowl.)

Robin has been to every WVU football game since that bowl win.  The Mountaineers have yet to lose with him in the stands.  They are currently 3-0, ranked 4th in the nation, and have outscored their opponents 139-37 this year (177-72 if you include the Sugar Bowl).

There’s a new Mountaineer fan among us.  And for the rest of the WVU fans out there, he couldn’t be more welcome.  Some may see a fair-weather fan.  I see a good luck charm.
