MORGANTOWN — He is not one of 79 new players on the West Virginia football roster that opens its season at 2 o’clock Saturday against Robert Morris but somehow, when the game begins, Eddie Vesterinen, will have as strong a feeling of starting over again as any freshman or any transfer.

He is not from West Virginia, yet no one is prouder or more intense in his feeling to what the state and the university have meant to him. No, he is not a West Virginia by birth but he is a Mountaineer at heart and this opening game will have every bit as much emotion for him as it will for even coach Rich Rodriguez as he returns after being away for 17 years. kAmw6 F?56CDE2?5D 9:D C@@ED 2C6 ?@E 7C@> 96C6]k^Am kAm“x’> ;FDE 2 <:5 7C@> w6=D:?<:] x’> C62==J AC@F5 @7 E92E[” 96 D2JD]k^Am kAmqFE 6G6? :7 96 9
