Here's an event for the upcoming weekend for LSU and WVU fans alike. It's a great idea, and kudos to 4 star Chef Steve Herbert, from Louisiana, for coming up with the idea...

The "We Remember Mountaineers on the Bayou Brunch”

Quote:On Tuesday September 20th through Saturday, Sept. 24, WVU and LSU fans are invited to put the rivalry on hold from 7:30-11 a.m. and join together for a special breakfast to commemorate the miners who lost their lives at the Upper Big Branch mine explosion and support the West Virginia Mining community.

The “We Remember Mountaineers on the Bayou Brunch” will be held at the Richwood Grill, located at 318 Richwood Avenue in Morgantown. All profits and tips will go to RememberTheMiners.org, a grassroots public awareness effort designed to honor the legacy of coal mining and pay tribute to all miners.

About the Event

The “We Remember” Mountaineers on the Bayou Brunch was the brain child of Four-Star Louisiana Chef Steve Herbert.

Herbert, who operates the Abita Springs Cafe in Abita Springs, LA, was inspired by the similarities in the rivals’ cultures in this anticipated matchup in Touchdown City.

“WVU and LSU fans were voted the worst fan bases in all of college football by GQ, a magazine that probably doesn’t sell many subscriptions in our two states. Yet, everyone seems to get along on the two fan bases,” he said. “Maybe the rest of America doesn’t understand that the two regions both had a unique culture that was different from the rest of America.”
