Speaking of West Virginia, this weekend it's time once again for the Annual Rattlesnake Feed in Moorefiled. This will be the 44th annual event, above is a write-up on the 2011 "Snake feed". Time to see my West Virgina pals, drink beer, eat bear, deer, pig, and chili. And, drink more beer. Heading up Friday night.

From The Charleston Gazette ---

"By my count, there have now been 18 national championship teams coached by Mountain State natives. Eighteen.

Many of the titles were shared, especially in the early days. But here is the astounding list:

Fairview's Fielding Yost (who also played tackle at WVU) coached Michigan to six national titles between 1901 and '23; Parkersburg native Greasy Neale's Washington & Jefferson team claimed a piece in 1921 after playing California to a scoreless tie in the Rose Bowl; Point Pleasant's Ben Schwartzwalder led Syracuse to the 1959 title; Everettville's John McKay led USC to four from 1962 to '74; Follansbee's Lou Holtz (who grew up in East Liverpool, Ohio) led Notre Dame over WVU in 1988; Saban has four, one with LSU in 2003 and three (2009, '11 and '12) at Alabama; and there is now that of Fisher."
