These WVU greats will share stories with the audience from their respective time as Mountaineer head football coach.

“It is an exciting time for the University, Athletic Department and our fans to have four former Mountaineer head football coaches together at one time to talk about West Virginia football, their time here at the University and about the state of college football today,” said Dale Wolfley, coordinator of WVU’s Varsity Club. “This is another nice addition to the list of activities that will make the Gold-Blue game and the football reunion special.”

Following the “Chalk Talk” Round Table, the Gold-Blue Old Timers’ game will kickoff the football portion of the weekend, at 7 p.m., inside Mountaineer Field at Milan Puksar Stadium.
