[QUOTE="WVUALLEN, post: 130870253, member: 1112294"] Are we a victim of the Chief Cornstalk curse? I'm looking forward to the day we win a major national championship. However, I am sad to report that this day may never come. I have no solid evidence, but I believe there is an age-old conspiracy between the NCAA and the city of Morgantown dating back to the year we became the number one party school. We can have our upsets, our bowl games, hell, we can even make a deep run in the college basketball playoffs, but we will never be able to hoist the most important trophies. I certainly don’t agree with the conspiracy against this great school, but I can understand if I choose to look at it from an unbiased perspective. Which I’m totally not going to do. For those of us Mountaineers who attend the games, and after affairs, we can see first hand the passion of the people who love their school and team. West Virginia has long been thought of as one of the strangest parts of the country in regards to ghosts, legends and strange happenings. This part of the country, which was originally a part of Virginia, was regarded by the Native Americans as a haunted spot, plagued with ghost lights, phantoms and strange creatures. The bodies of Indians were taken and dumped into the Monongahela River where they remain for many years, will not rest in peace. So how real is the curse? Is it simply a string of bloody and tragic coincidences, culled from centuries of sadness of WVU sports? Can it be used to explain why the area seems to attract strange happenings and eerie tales? Or is the area somehow blighted, separate from any curse, and attractive to the strangeness that seems to lurk in the shadowy corners of America? Fact or coincidence? Who can say... but I know that I hope, for the sake of the fans of WVU that Chief Cornstalk will one day finally rest in peace! Let's Go Mountaineers!
