West Virginia Backs Up White

It looks like West Virginia’s policy of not promoting its players for the Heisman has left with Rich Rodriguez. WVU is getting behind quarterback Pat White‘s Heisman candidacy by launching the official Pat White Web Site, patwhiteplayshere.com, on Friday, June 27.

From the official release:

patwhiteplayshere.com” is an inclusive Web site that gives fans, alumni, media and Heisman voters all the up-to-date information about the two-time BIG EAST Offensive Player of the Year, two-time bowl MVP and two-time team MVP.

The site offers the entire playing history of White, in video, pictures and biography. There are videos from his early days of pee-wee football, to Daphne High School to the past three years as a Mountaineer. There are quotes from a who’s-who of national media about White’s leadership and ability on the field.

The site also has his iPod playlist, things you need to know about him, wallpaper that can be downloaded and a schedule when White can be seen on television this season. There is also the ability for fans to ask him questions during the season.

The WVU Sports Communication staff handled the site concept, while BlaineTurner Advertising, Inc., in Morgantown developed its design and production.

White has led the Mountaineers to three straight 11-win seasons, two BIG EAST Conference titles, three straight New Year’s bowl game victories and three straight Associated Press Top-10 finishes.

Good to see a great college football player getting his due.

    Pat deserves the attention and promotion. He has to go down as one of, if not the single, greatest player in WVU history. I only get to enjoy him for one more year but what a ride it has been.
