Your favorite Black Diamond moment?

I love the VT-WVU rivalry. I love its history, I love how personal it is, I love its nastiness, I love everything about it. Tech and WVU have a long history (some of it good, some of it bad, some of it despicable), and I'm excited to see some more pages being added to this book.

The WVU rivalry is the best rivalry. Beating UVA at football is great, but it's a bit like beating up a rich kid who wandered into the wrong part of town. It's fun and all, but it's mostly done to make sure they know their place. West Virginia? Boy, that's the kid you have to see everyday at school, in the lunchroom, on the bus. The kid that just rubbed you the wrong way. No one can remember why but he didn't like you, you didn't like him, and once a year you'd just square off and go at it to see what's what.

Beating UVA is just some good ole fun, like a holiday tradition. Beating WVU though... those victories always tasted sweeter, more personal.

This is my personal VT vs WVU moment. A blocked field goal returned for a TD right before half in Lane stadium with the crowd going crazy... Nothing feels more "Hokie Football" then this. Love it.

What about you? What's your favorite moment or story involving the Mountaineers?
