West Virginia Football

Here is the body of an email I got from the Athletic Office 2011 Football Schedule Changes Announced

“Marshall Game Moved To Sunday, Sept. 4; Game At Syracuse Moved To Friday, Oct. 21

West Virginia’s 2011 football game against Marshall has been moved to Sunday, Sept. 4, at 3:30 p.m., at Milan Puskar Stadium.

In addition, WVU’s game at Syracuse has been changed to Friday, Oct. 21, at 8 p.m.

The Marshall game will be televised by ESPN, and the Syracuse game will be aired on either ESPN or ESPN2.”

From WV Illustrated word comes out “The Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League have acquired the rights to sign Pat White.” Now that doesn’t mean that we will soon see former WVU football stat Pat White in a football uniform, it just means that the decision of whether to play football again is in Pat’s control. Many of the great quarterbacks and players in the NFL have played in the Canadian League so if Pat White would like to eventually play again in the league this could be the way.
