Thank you for that! I remember it well and still think it might have been the finest football game I've ever seen in person. To be young, in love and a Mountaineer fan..it did not get any better than that fall night in 1984.
True. I was at the game on the BC sideline. After WVU won, fans went bonkers. I watched an on field official get hit in the head with a full can of beer. Not good.
I had the privilege to attending this game. We could not get tickets through WVU. My sister-in-law’s uncle was a Boston College grad and we were able to get tickets through him. We set in the Boston College section. SOME of the Boston College people were ignorant and complete jerks but most were cordial. It was one of the best college football games I have ever seen.
Was there. We never sat down. Cheering on our feet all game. Flutie never beat West Virginia. He hates WVU to this day. Lol. Willie 'D'..."he definitely do".
Umm... Hate to break this to you but, Flutie's record against WVU?? 0-4!! The first one he was just a back up, but as a starter how did Flutie fare against WVU??? In 1982, Flutie: 9-for-33 for 122 yards, 4 interceptions and zero touchdowns against the Mountaineers. Final score: WVU 20, BC 13... In 1983, Flutie 23 -51 for 418 yards, three interceptions and one touchdown. Flutie lost 27-7. In 1984, 21-for-42, 299 yards, 0 INT, 1 TD. The final score: 21-20 WVU. Sorry
