In conjunction with the upcoming Don Nehlen Quarterback Scholarship weekend, and presented
by MedExpress, the Mountaineer Athletic Club (MAC) is offering a
one-time autograph session with former Mountaineer quarterbacks on
Saturday, Oct. 1, at the Caperton Indoor Practice Facility, from 2-2:45
p.m.
The autograph session will follow the quarterbacks'
participation in the WVU Mantrip and precede kickoff of the WVU-Bowling
Green football game at 3:30 p.m.
"This is a fantastic opportunity to meet and get autographs
from a number of great Mountaineer quarterbacks," says Matt Borman,
MAC Director of Major Gifts. "This weekend is truly a special time for
the WVU football program with so many of the quarterbacks returning to
campus in support of the Don Nehlen Scholarship Weekend."
A special commemorative photo will be available for purchase on
Saturday for $5. In an effort to accommodate as many autograph requests
as possible, each fan will be limited to one autographed photo; no
outside items are permitted to be signed. Setting up posed pictures with
the former players will not be allowed in order to keep lines moving and
to give as many fans as possible the chance to get an autograph.

festivities are: Richard Loring, Fred Wyant, Dale Evans, Ed Pastilong,
Pete Secret, Garland Hudson, Mike Sherwood, Bernie Galiffa, Dan Kendra,
Dan Williams, Mike Williams, Oliver Luck, Kevin White, Jeff Hostetler,
