My wife’s family is from the Morgantown area (fairmont, wv). I’ve spent a lot of time out there and trust me, this is not an easy area to go win a game. They love their mountaineers and that’s a tough place to play.
Forget about style points. If they can get a W it’s a great night.
Side note, the best local food I’ve ever eaten has been at my cousins in Jackson Heights, and my in-laws in West Virginia. In West Virginia it was all italian immigrant families too, all Italians. Tresino, Martino, Muto…. I was very surprised.
