In a move to curtail Morgantown’s favorite celebration tactics, legislators in West Virginia are considering new arson legislation that would make it punishable by up to 2 years in the pokey to set a fire in a public right of way. Now, can they take up the issue of Urine bombs?
Enjoy this scene… it may be a relic of college football’s past.
Orson Swindle and Stranko Montana are two men pushing thirty who should know better than to run a college football blog, but evidently don't. Both graduated from the University of Florida, and both agree that college football is far too important to be left to the professionals.

I would think igniting the coach would already be illegal, but then it is West Virginia.

“We must not ignite this coach.” Did you mean couch? I suppose refraining from torching an athletic department employee has its merits, too.

Oooops! But that would be much more humerous if their statute was addressing that problem.

*This is The Conscience of a Nation*
Looks like West Virginia is in for some excitement after all. What’s the logical next step from burning couches? Why, devil worship, of course! That’s why God hates West Virginia.
Fred Phelps and his “God Hates Fags” followers are planning to protest at the funerals of two miners who died. They claim that “idolatrous West Virginians – led by demagogs and false prophets – practice necromancy, light candles to the devil, worship those long dead and in Hell, and threaten God’s messengers with bloody violence and death.”
Ummkay.

I really hope Phelps does travel to West Virginia. He’a a hell of a lot likely to *leave* there than most places he goes. Apparently, nobody taught that fool not to mess with a breed of people equally adept at handling snakes, fifths of whiskey, and shotguns.

Don’t hate on burning couches. My sister has left Columbus to become an intellectual snob at UChicago but she confided in me that after the UMich-OSU game she always has an incredible urge to set furniture on fire and launch it off the roof of her apartment. I mean seriously where would we be without at least wanting to display our fandom by setting furniture on fire?

I’ve got a question. The law will state that you aren’t allowed to set a fire in a public right of way, right? Well, what constitutes a public right of way?
This could be a technicality, but I can’t imagine that everywhere would be considered ‘public right of way’. Maybe they could start by designating certain areas to be special “Couch Burning” Zones. Then, citizens wanting to steer clear of any couch burnings could just refrain from ever passing through these designated zones. It’ll be similar to how there are designated smoking areas in airports, except that this kind of smoking would involve rowdy co-eds and pieces of furniture.

At the risk of my IT department flagging me as, well, evil, I just went to good ol’ Fred’s site. Holy crap, that dude is crazier than I’ve heard. Did you know Reggie White was in hell?

“Public right of way” means areas (read: streets) owned by a governmental unit for transportation purposes. So basically, no couch burning in the street. Couch burning on private property could be covered by whatever city ordinances Morgantown has concerning outdoor fires.

Fred Phelps and his crew set up shop in Phillipi, WV – a town in a different county from the Sago mine. He and his group had to be escorted from the town by the West Virginia State Police “for their own safety”. Everyone knows that you don’t tell people in coal country – people that are strongly in favor of the second amendment and who are extremely homophobic — that the brave men who work in the mines to support their families and that just lost their lives are gay. It’s just a bad idea.
As for the original post, the WV state legislature consists of a bunch of crazy old coots that like to get involved in EVEYRTHING that has anything to do with WVU. Hence the 7 game series with Marshall that starts in 2006. Burning couches may not be safe, nor does it make sense, but it gets us on CNN.
And the “couch burning zone” is called Grant Street.

First of all, in my opinion, WVU students should be free to burn couches in Sunnyside from time to time if that’s the way they choose to let off a little steam (no pun intended)…I mean THIS has helped put them on the map hasn’t it? And like Azher said about his/her sister, there has to be some underlying urge in all of us to want to burn a couch, bringing destruction to a crappy piece of furniture from ‘97 that no one wants to look at anymore. These people are fans, with nothin’ but love for their team. So what if it is their expression of pure, down-right, balls-to-the-walls sportsmanship that causes such passionate arson? …. Don’t hate, appreciate

Usually WVU students will get crazy but never cause any harm to anyone or anyone’s property. The only time they get rowdy with police is when they tell students they cannot do something just because they can’t. So let those couches burn.

[...] ACC, again- Virginia lost at home to school located a town called Kalamazoo, Maryland was taken apart by those who are wild and wonderful, and NC State continued it’s downward spiral against Southern Miss. Expansion seems to be going well for teams that used to be in the Big East. BC and Virginia Tech are a combined 6-0, while Miami is 1-2, but two out of three aint bad. [...]
