You can't take the trophy with you.
But the person you became chasing it?
That's yours forever.

πΊπΈ The true story behind the song βTake Me Home, Country Roadsβ from a WVU graduate
The song was released in 1971. WVU began the tradition of singing it at games in 1972.
The songwriters, Bill Danoff and Taffy Nivert, got the idea for the song riding down Clopper Road in Montgomery County, Maryland. They are husband and wife.
The songwriters have confirmed the song is about West Virginia. Itβs not about Western Virginia.
Bill originally wanted to write the song about his home state of Massachusetts, but couldnβt get the cadence and syllable count right.
Danoff and Nivert opened for John Denver in DC in 1970. Later that night they played the song for Denver who loved it. They all stayed up that night finalizing the lyrics.
John Denver had not yet even been to West Virginia when he recorded the song.
Blue Ridge Mountains and Shenandoah River were added because they sounded poetic. They are also physically present in Jefferson County, WV.

Itβs a beautiful song and I love hearing it, especially after Mountaineer wins!
"What we've done better than anybody in the country is develop players faster."

Jalen Brunson reveals the Christmas Day a teenage him met Kobe Bryant in a United Center hallway and the line he's never forgotten
Brunson: "I just remember him walking in the hallway. As a teenager, you're trying to keep your cool. So I said hi, shook his hand."
Brunson: "Kobe said something that to this day I will never forget. He said, 'Why work if you don't want to be the best?' That quote will sit with me forever."
Brunson: "He had these red high-top Kobe nines, the Christmas nines, and the shoes just kind of fell into my hand. He's like, 'Here you go. These for you.'"
Brunson: "When I got in the car to go home, I looked at it and I was like, 'Oh, I'm definitely wearing these.'"
