Clever title except for one thing....WVU isn't the bulldogs. They are Mountaineers.

That reminds me, when I was watching The Run, they said they passed out the stat sheets at the Duke game, and the teams were captioned.

Duke Blue Devils vs. Xavier Mountaineers.

Innocent goof then, but why they chose Mountaineers back then and now we have to play them.
