The combination of both fan bases is where the rating came from...not the WVU fan sitting in the stadium....

Pinetown.....where are you seeing that WVU thinks it was solely their web viewership helping to break that record?

And who thinks all WVU fans live near Morgantown? There are West Virginia fans all over the nation. West Virginia had the nation's worst economy for decades, and many of us left home for a sunnier economic climate. No matter where you go in this nation, you'll find a Mountaineer...

What about Tenney, Minnesota (pop: 6)?

That isn't somewhere. That's nowhere...

This is true...I know there are a lot of great WVU 'neers fans in Charlotte and they enjoy college football as much or more than us Pirates. I had to look at my neighbors WVU flag Sunday morning as I left the house for a cup of starbucks.
