I remember singing this on the WVU band bus after we whipped Tennessee in 2018. Nothing beat singing that to the sad TN fans and the looks on their faces were priceless! 😂 Man I miss Morgantown!
From what I know, I have 1 of 2 origionals to this song.. It is not the morgantown song.. They are "The Highstreet Hillbillies". My mom sent this to the radio station alot of years ago. So when you hear this song, Thank my Mom. Go Mountaineers!
I am so sorry to say... I was asked to leave WVU...because I didn't have enough "quality points" to continue my 2nd year of college.... May I add, that was the first year WVU was voted as being the #1 party school in the nation? I will not say I was a direct influence...but I know I supported the cause.
Recorded under the pseudonym band name, "High Street Hillbillies" (actually "Cross Country Band" from Charleston, WV) 10-17-1984. Musicians: Ben Brookes Belcher - guitar & vocals David Sutherland - banjo, mandolin & vocals Steve Snedegar - steel guitar & vocals John Holland - drums Todd Byrne - bass
For the record Playboy retired WVU from being #1 for so many years. They said something to the extent that amateurs couldn't compete with the pros and they took WVU out of the running.
Have you ever found where to d/l this song? I used to have it on an old computer, but can't remember where I got it and that computer crashed & I lost everything on it.
Mantooth3290 has issues. obviously he was mistreated while he was in morgantown..... and only a semster??? that kinda sad not being able to hang in a place that you dislike..... he kinda sounds like a wimp
I lived in Morgantown for years, earning both my BA and MA from WVU, and I never heard this the first time, and I am glad. This is terrible to say the least.
Although I agree that Penn State is "a bunch of queers",unless you're in beautiful Knoxville,Tennessee you can NOT use this music unless you admit that WVU only hopes to be as relevant on the national scene as UT is.
I recorded this thing almost 30 years ago! I can't believe its still goin. Ben Brookes Belcher
