Open Message to Michigan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take a look, Michigan fans.

We still have what you want.

You saw it in Owen Schmitt’s face last night. You heard it in the voice of Bill Stewart. You’ve seen it in the intensity of our basketball team.

You thought you wanted our successful coaches. But you are realizing what you really want is our passion. Not just a passion to win. But a genuine passion to see our guys, and to see one another, succeed. You see an entire state showing all the signs of what sports should teach a person. Loyalty, honor, strength in the face of adversity. And you’ve decided to take a short cut. Steal our best coaches so you can savor the profound emotion that we share with our teams. Well, it just doesn’t work that way.

You can spread your cash over every inch of ground between Morgantown and Ann Arbor, ask every one of our coaches to come be a part of the storied tradition of Michigan. And what you’ll find is this: the ones who come are not the ones that have what you seek.

We are Mountaineers

And Mountaineers are always free. You may take this as a statement about our liberties,, but “Mountaineers are always free” means something else. Mountaineers can’t be bought. Neither can our friendship, our respect, or our loyalty. You’ll not get our best guys with your checkbook. You’ll get the guys that don’t fit in here.

You have tried to steal the brains of WVU athletics, without realizing it’s our heart that you envy.

Sadly, you can’t trade your maize for gold, after all.
