Is there a more passionate fanbase than West Virginia? Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve don't believe so.
West Virginia has never won a national championship in any of the four major sports - football, men's basketball, women's basketball, and baseball - but you wouldn't know it based off the fierce love and passion its fanbase exudes.
The fine folks in West Virginia don't cheer on their Mountaineers as a favorite college team, they view it as a team that represents and plays for the entire the state. Most outside of the state just see the passion the fans have, but don't truly have an understanding for what it means for the 1.8 million plus West Virginian's.
ESPN's Scott Van Pelt and Stanford Steve Coughlin, do. The two recently gave a major shoutout to WVU fans following the baseball team's performance in the baseball super regional against North Carolina. “West Virginia traveled well, as they always do. And it just sticks out because I think they’re the most tortured fanbase in college sports, man. They just find ways to…you go back to football, basketball there’s been some brutal ones. But they ain’t going to stop."“This is going to sound like it’s not a compliment, but it’s a compliment. In a horror movie, like Freddie Kruger, Jason, or Michael Myers…can’t kill ‘em.
