WE MUST NOT IGNITE THIS COUCH
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.

[...] Provided they don’t fall flat on their faces against Dave Wannstedt’s mustache, the Mountaineers will be in New Orleans on 01/07/08. Hide your couches. [...]

[...] 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. [...]

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.

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

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.
