     Home | college athletics | West Virginia Mountaineers



The West Virginia Mountaineers are the athletic teams of West Virginia University. The school is a member of National Collegiate Athletic Association Division I and the Big East Conference. The school's mascot is known as the Mountaineer. The two major sports at the university are football (played at the Mountaineer Field) and basketball (played at the WVU Coliseum), although many of the other sports have large followings as well. The West Virginia University athletic program also has the honor of being the only school in the nation in 2007 to win a BCS game, a NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament game, and a NCAA Women's Basketball Tournament game.

The fight song for the Mountaineers is "Hail, West Virginia". "Take Me Home, Country Roads", a popular song by John Denver which salutes the state of West Virginia, is also played at many athletic events, including all football and basketball games.
