Really? What were they? Redskins? West Virginia is kind of equidistant from several teams, but I would've guessed that Pittsburgh would've been the dominant choice.

If I remember right, you grew up in the far south of WV, right? Do you think that would make a difference?

Yeah, it was mostly Redskins in my experience. So much so that I was a Cowboys fan at an impressionable young age, simply to be contrary.

Northern Panhandle and Morgantown (where WVU is) I wouldn't be surprised if it was Steelers, close to Pissburgh, but Eastern Panhandle and southern part of the state where I grew up seemed all Redskins.
