      When I visited Ireland I was with a tour group, so everyone knew we were Americans right away. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” was played at every single pub we went into. After I asked about it, several folks said they thought it was our national song.
      Petition to make this misconception a reality?

    2. Fun fact! None of the songwriters had ever been to West Virginia when they wrote that song.

      Are we becoming a soccer nation? Btw I want to call it football so badly.

      This and Sweet Caroline are the two songs played shamelessly at every single international NFL game and I hate every second of it

      If anything West Virginia Baseball created a memorable sports moment that will always be remembered!!! Love stuff like this.
