West Virginia University will discipline at least 40 students who took part in the mayhem following the Mountaineers’ upset of then-No. 3 Virginia Tech, school officials said Tuesday.
After the victory on Oct. 22, students poured onto Mountaineer Field and tried to tear down the goal posts but were turned back by police who used pepper spray and force to clear the field.
Within minutes, fires were set in the streets. More than 100 were reported, but authorities said most were doused within minutes. No major injuries or property destruction occurred.
We have a correspondent in Morgantown who has failed to report back to us since the events from last week. Come on, John. File a report already. Give us stories of mayhem and chaos. Or at least some burned out couches on the street.
