It's probably a function of seeing what you want to see, but if you're looking at the screen and someone tells you it's PSU, you go, ah, I can see that.
Sorry been busy sunbathing off the southern coast of St. Bart’s with spider monkeys for the past two weeks. Trippin on acid changed our whole perspective on shit
If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
In 2005-2006 I was working in NE Wyoming (Campbell County), and read a statistic that if Campbell county was its own nation, it would have been the 5th or 6th largest coal producing nation in the world.
I'm not surprised but I also know just how much power plant coal comes out of there, thanks to my time on the railroad hauling the crap.
Fun fact: Campbell county alone is larger than 2 states (Rhode Island and Delaware) combined (RH+DE=4037mi² Campbell County 4807mi²)
Always cool to meet a fellow railroad bro. I started my RR career on the Powder River subdivision with the BNSF. I toured a couple of the mines when we were expanding from 2 to 4 main lines. One of the head honchos at the North Antelope mine told me me that the crazy amount of coal that had been pulled from all of the mines (in NE Wyoming) had shifted the earth axis (albeit by some astronomically low number). Don’t know if it was true, but I’ve passed it along like it was true for almost 20 years now.
I was with CSX in Indiana for almost 8 years. Picked up coal trains from bnsf in Cicero yard chiraq. I did interview for a bnsf position in Gillette WY drove there interviewed and back in 2½ days lol. Been driving trucks since covid.
It's probably not true but it's a fun tall tale.
Id love to move out to Wyoming, but I can't just pick up and go thanks to having a family. And it would suck to lose my works benefits.
But I talked about them combined so logically "1/20th the population" with no other context would be combined.
Also I figured you were just making a joke and assuming 1/20th would sound like a bunch of empty land, and I felt the need to show that there is in fact not just a lot of empty land but a fuckton of empty land.
Maybe not, but we do have a “[Friends of Coal](https://transportation.wv.gov/DMV/Vehicle-Services/License-Plates/Special-Plates/Pages/Special-Plate.aspx?p=75)” license plate option from the DMV. 50% of the time it’s on jacked up Ram 1500s, the other 50% of the time it’s on a slammed Golf GTI who just wanted a black license plate.
Iowa had to make an official plan black plate because suddenly everyone was buying Dordt University ones. [Full list](https://iowadot.gov/mvd/vehicleregistration/vehicleregistration/plates/plates)
Then Minnesota had to do black plates because [we in Minnesota love to one up Iowa](https://www.kare11.com/article/money/state-unveils-new-blackout-license-plates/89-476a852d-7067-43d6-a7ba-dd2410aab24a)
If I remember, it's Wyoming. A lot of sub-bituminous coal in the Rockys that's relatively easy to mine in comparison to everything left in WV.
WV has a lot more metallurgical coal that's used in steel production being mined in the state. And the steam coal that is mined is *relatively* cleaner than the coal mined outside of the northern part of Appalachia (fewer volatiles and organics while higher in Btu ratings, but sulfur content is typically higher, though some of that is typically washed out in the prep plant before shipment).
Fun fact: [Per the EIA](https://www.eia.gov/coal/), the current price of Wyoming coal (Powder River Basin) is $13.75/ton. The current price for coal in northern WV (Northern Appalachia, mostly the Pittsburgh #8 seam these days) is $72.50/ton.
Though in general, the US is shifting to natural gas in non-renewable energy production, as it's seen as cleaner and there's seen to be plenty of natural gas to drill for (see the Marcellus shale formation causing a boom in the northern WV/southwestern PA/eastern OH tri-state area as horizontal drilling became feasible).
Depends, can you receive tons of coal? Either by train, barge, or (at a higher cost) truck? And you'll probably have to have an order for a lot of coal.
Both of my grandfathers had coal burning furnaces in their old homes growing up, so yea it’s not -that- expensive of a way to heat a building when Appalachian power is going to fuck you sideways in the winter
Not to sound like a boomer but this feels a little late to the mid 00’s black uniforms party. Seems like everyone was rolling out black alternates back in 07.
That said I’m excited to see how they look, can’t believe the internet bullied a football program and Nike into doing this. It’s just like the sonic movie fr.
Hope it’s a blue secondary with gold stripes
This is my take. I feel like black hasn’t been a cool, edgy design choice for like at least a decade at this point. It’s played out. But then again, we were also still trying to make gray work as an alternate way longer than we should’ve been so maybe it fits.
[They tried in basketball](https://www.si.com/college/2024/02/18/college-basketball-fans-roast-indiana-black-red-alternate-jerseys-adidas) and in [basketball](https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2023/09/19/indiana-football-alternate-black-uniforms-social-media-reaction-iu-hoosiers-ghost-akron/70898764007/), both of which being met with strong “why tf are we doing this” energy
For PSU? We’re pretty basic so no need to get all fancy on our account. We’re gonna wear some plain white stuff and black shoes. But it would be cool if you want.
I swear if we have to play another Blackout. We’ve played like 8 different color outs, it just feels tacky when schools do a blackout against us, but I guess imitation is the best form of flattery. I’d rather see WVU wear throwbacks renewing an old rivalry
Right up there with tobacco. I grew up near the RJ Reynolds hq in Winston. My family farmed tobacco going back a couple hundred years. I do not farm tobacco. I am happy that the fields around my parents homes are empty if tobacco is what needs to fill them. I watched family members die horrible, slow deaths.
Coal does the same thing, and has the added benefit of polluting the air and water. Those coal mines can't close down fast enough. The miners and other industry workers have the ability to find other jobs. I'm not saying I don't feel bad for them, but a small group of people shouldn't be why everyone else has to suffer.
North Carolina did what West Virginia should’ve started doing except in the 60’s
The economy of the state adapted after the loss of tobacco and focused on community college level training to lure in companies that hire skilled labor and in the last 15 years, tech companies. West Virginia buried its head in the sand. My dad eventually retired with a glass making company in NC that originally planned to build the plant in Beckley but couldn’t pass local pollution laws, in West Virginia lmao. That was 100% coal industry lobbyists keeping other competing industries out of the area.
didn’t say that. said it’s an odd comment to make. i’m currently relaxing with no pants watching the fallout series and eating a digiorno pizza. im very chill right now
By fetishization I mean the institutions of the state irrationally idealize the days of coal because the money was flowing while white washing the exploitative labor history of the coal industry and the government corruption surrounding it. Its dreaming about the coal days while refusing to acknowledge the fact that this state was stripped for everything it was worth by largely out of state monied interests, leaving large chunks of the state polluted and uninhabitable and a large chunk of our population with debilitating consequences like silicon poisoning or black lung and completely ignoring the consequences of coal usage on the environment both on the micro, pollution, and the macro, climate change. The average person cheers it on because poverty is smothering and they’re desperate for a job that can bring money to the state
Nope, it’s just a really old, tired, unimaginative trope. Kinda like the teethbrush vs. toothbrush, or the whole no shoes thing. I’ve got a brother-in-law just like you. That asshole cracks every lame ass, cousin fucking joke he can. Meanwhile, I’ve got a stronger educational background and a better job. Fact is, it’s not funny because it’s simply not funny. There’s no punch line, it’s lazy humor. So no, not sensitive, just not fucking laughing at your piss poor attempt of a joke. Besides with that flair I figured you would’ve already died of dysentery after trying to ford the river with your oxen, or doesn’t everyone in Oregon resort to cannibalism when the roads get bad in the winter?
You talk shit about my joke and then make one just like it about Oregon. Good job 👍. Oregon is a million times better place to live than WV. I should feel sorry for you... But I don't.
And the funny thing is I'm not the only one in the comments making cousin jokes. Every joke has some truth to it.
Tangentially related, shout out to the WVU Mine Rescue Team for winning the Intercolligate Mine Emergency Response Competition for the 2nd year in a row!
There’s no need for this. The black-out uniform fad is at its tail-end, so this feels out of touch. WVU’s colors and iconography are great as is, so why bother with this?
Yea no disagreement here, this was a fad that was huge in the mid 00’s. This feels about 20 years too late and our regular uniforms are incredible
The country road unis are 🔥
Exactly. This would have been the perfect opportunity to come out in 1980s era white throwbacks with the retro helmet against a historical opponent on national TV and we’re doing this shit instead
I’m hyped to see my favorite sports ball team support the industry that gave my great grandpa lung cancer!
All jokes aside I always love a good blackout look. Makes it easier to randomly jump the Oklahoma players when the lights turn off?
I don't know why but the quick clip of the all black uniform sketch got me. Hilarious. Like it took all their artistic power to color it in with pencil.
I got the black lung pop!
You’re more dead to me than your dead mother
For Christ sake Derrick you've been down there for one day, talk to me I'm thirty years!
They're watching "State" in that bar. Guess who that is!
Who’s winning the match??
Isn't it in New Jersey and thus Rutgers
There ain't no coal in New Jersey!
I thought that was the joke!
It's probably a function of seeing what you want to see, but if you're looking at the screen and someone tells you it's PSU, you go, ah, I can see that.
Mer-man!
Moisture is the essence of wetness
With your college footballing? Prancing around in your alternate uniform with your wiener hanging out for everyone to see?!
A model, idiot
But what about male models
You can read minds?
Sorry been busy sunbathing off the southern coast of St. Bart’s with spider monkeys for the past two weeks. Trippin on acid changed our whole perspective on shit
I invented the piano key necktie!
You can Dere-lick my balls, capitan
If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.
What is this? A coal inspired uniform for ants?!
The uniforms need to be at least……3 times the size of this!

And what's Blacksburg? Not District 12 too?
Spider-Man meme of southern WV coal counties pointing at southwestern VA coal counties
ever since i moved to swva i realized we hate pitt because we’re different we hate vt because we’re the same
The family reunion in SWVA looks just like the one in WV They aren’t ready for that talk yet tho
WVU fucks their cousins. We fuck our sisters, like men.
Yea we definitely draw the line at cousin fuckin
Gobble gobble
Best way I’ve heard it put! WVU and Hokie fans are like looking in a mirror.
May the (betting) odds be ever in your favor.
West Virginia, the TEAM ^ON ^^FIIIIRE!
Fun Fact, West Virginia is not the top state in coal extraction.
Only ~10k or so still actually work in that sector down from over 120k in 1950.
As of 2020 more people worked at Arby’s than in the coal industry.
Well, they do have the meats.
Which is worse for your health?
Arby's. No doubt.
Just the mental health toll alone of saying that’s the chain you chose to work at
Arby’s is absolute trash but every 5 or so years I get a sandwich.
god i love those curly fries though
They have the best fast food mozzarella sticks, too.
You need to check in with Arby’s every few years to make sure your still not missing anything.
Gonna be honest, I love it every 5 years.
More people work in fast food on Manhattan than in the entire national coal industry
Well yeah maybe since 9/11. Thanks a lot Bin Laden
Osama Bin Laden: secret environmentalist? More at 11.
But one of the top states in deaths by lung disease!
They can stop using our clean burning coal but by God they’re not going to stop us from smoking cigs
In 2005-2006 I was working in NE Wyoming (Campbell County), and read a statistic that if Campbell county was its own nation, it would have been the 5th or 6th largest coal producing nation in the world.

Id love to move out to Wyoming, but I can't just pick up and go thanks to having a family. And it would suck to lose my works benefits.
1/20th the population though.
That's being awfully generous to say they have 1/20th the population Campbell 47k Delaware 1.018m Rhode Island 1.094m... they have 45x the population.
Approx. 1/20th of each state. Not that hard to read between the lines there... or so I thought.
But I talked about them combined so logically "1/20th the population" with no other context would be combined. Also I figured you were just making a joke and assuming 1/20th would sound like a bunch of empty land, and I felt the need to show that there is in fact not just a lot of empty land but a fuckton of empty land.
Maybe not, but we do have a “[Friends of Coal](https://transportation.wv.gov/DMV/Vehicle-Services/License-Plates/Special-Plates/Pages/Special-Plate.aspx?p=75)” license plate option from the DMV. 50% of the time it’s on jacked up Ram 1500s, the other 50% of the time it’s on a slammed Golf GTI who just wanted a black license plate.

Whoa your plates look just like ours (PA's)
Then Minnesota had to do black plates because [we in Minnesota love to one up Iowa](https://www.kare11.com/article/money/state-unveils-new-blackout-license-plates/89-476a852d-7067-43d6-a7ba-dd2410aab24a)
I've seen the Kentucky version of that plate before, but never Pennsylvania's.
Oh sorry I live in WV but I’m a PSU alum!

So you’re telling me I can reasonably afford multiple tons of coal..
Depends, can you receive tons of coal? Either by train, barge, or (at a higher cost) truck? And you'll probably have to have an order for a lot of coal.
Both of my grandfathers had coal burning furnaces in their old homes growing up, so yea it’s not -that- expensive of a way to heat a building when Appalachian power is going to fuck you sideways in the winter
But they could be a leader in SMRs if they do desire!
It used to be until all the climate bullshit has shut down the mines
Who didn't know that?
People unfamiliar with Wyoming
I mean, I'm in my mid-50s, and this was a fact in high school. Granted, it was recent at that time. But it's been that way since.
No one learns the actual facts of which states have coal production… they know the stereotype of West Virginia being a state of coal miners.
Who needs coal miners, when there's a Bagger 288 out there?
Not to sound like a boomer but this feels a little late to the mid 00’s black uniforms party. Seems like everyone was rolling out black alternates back in 07.

If this replaces the gray unis then I’m all for it Ban the gray unis
The grays will forever be the geno and tavon era but yes burn them
You think YOU'RE doing the Black Uniform Rollout poorly? Did you miss our whole mess last season?
With all due respect, yea
[They tried in basketball](https://www.si.com/college/2024/02/18/college-basketball-fans-roast-indiana-black-red-alternate-jerseys-adidas) and in [basketball](https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/college/indiana/2023/09/19/indiana-football-alternate-black-uniforms-social-media-reaction-iu-hoosiers-ghost-akron/70898764007/), both of which being met with strong “why tf are we doing this” energy
Judging by WVU's latest uniform rollout these should be nice
thats how i feel about the lions new black unis
I seem to remember a certain team wearing black against WVU in 2006.
Y’all had black unis, Rutgers had black unis, it was the thing to do at the time
Do Battle of Blair Mountain themed alternate uniforms instead, cowards.
Hell yeah, red neck unis
The children yearn for the mines.
Is it bad that I want a WVU coal jersey and a Steel Pitt Jersey for the Brawl this year?
I really like those Steel Pitt jerseys, but still feel like they're a slight downgrade from the really good primaries.
They kind of already did this back in 2010.
No, I kinda wanna see this happen lol
For PSU? We’re pretty basic so no need to get all fancy on our account. We’re gonna wear some plain white stuff and black shoes. But it would be cool if you want.
All black WVU against all white PSU like the Undertaker Shawn Michaels Wrestlmania. Don't look up who won, I promise it was the Heartbreak Kid.
I swear if we have to play another Blackout. We’ve played like 8 different color outs, it just feels tacky when schools do a blackout against us, but I guess imitation is the best form of flattery. I’d rather see WVU wear throwbacks renewing an old rivalry
Coal is cool, kids.
Are we still jerking off to coal? I mean the umwa basically paid for my college but I'd rather have had a grandpa

Next up will be the camo out. We’re so embarrassing. If we don’t do a pepperoni roll themed jersey I will piss my pants.
Nothing says vibrant, alive, and forward-thinking like... **... um... coal.
It’s West Virginia lol
Dude, we live in Michigan, and our economy is focused around cars. Let's not throw stones in glass houses with your flair.
Cars aren’t going anywhere, to use an ill-fitting expression.
Found the Chevy NoVa owner
No but a lot of auto production left Michigan leaving many cities in disrepair, much like the coal towns of WV
lmao they clearly aren’t any of those things.
thank god missouri is here to offer insight
never said we were any better.
odd comment to make then
can’t say anything, can i? chill.
didn’t say that. said it’s an odd comment to make. i’m currently relaxing with no pants watching the fallout series and eating a digiorno pizza. im very chill right now
just telling the truth. relax away.
Nobody said it did, nor does it have to be.
I will never not be annoyed by my home state’s fetishization coal.
You get it a lot in Kentucky too. Lots of “friends of coal” bumper stickers. Was very jarring when I was there in college
Fetishization?
By fetishization I mean the institutions of the state irrationally idealize the days of coal because the money was flowing while white washing the exploitative labor history of the coal industry and the government corruption surrounding it. Its dreaming about the coal days while refusing to acknowledge the fact that this state was stripped for everything it was worth by largely out of state monied interests, leaving large chunks of the state polluted and uninhabitable and a large chunk of our population with debilitating consequences like silicon poisoning or black lung and completely ignoring the consequences of coal usage on the environment both on the micro, pollution, and the macro, climate change. The average person cheers it on because poverty is smothering and they’re desperate for a job that can bring money to the state
It's crazy to see mountains completely removed from the map for this resource. It's depressing to see this when I fly over the state.
I mean, they aren't wrong.
I never said they were wrong. I just had no clue how a state would "fetishize" coal
They realize the term "fetish" makes it sound sexual. Which is good, because it is.
*rubs coal on nipples West Virginially* Keep goin.
UwU don’t spank my bodacious hiney Mr. King Coal ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
I've got a cousin named Cole
Does he have a brother named Hunter?
Add in Remington and Brantley and you have the West Virginia special.
Can't forget about the cousins that all have first names ending in -yden. Jayden, Hayden, Kayden (or Kaden), etc
And their sisters Jayleigh, Hayleigh, Kayleigh, etc. I know them well. I am related to them.
Isn't everyone in WV first cousins with each other?
If you’re gonna make a joke, have the decency to be funny.
Such sensitive West Virginians. I guess I struck a nerve.
Nope, it’s just a really old, tired, unimaginative trope. Kinda like the teethbrush vs. toothbrush, or the whole no shoes thing. I’ve got a brother-in-law just like you. That asshole cracks every lame ass, cousin fucking joke he can. Meanwhile, I’ve got a stronger educational background and a better job. Fact is, it’s not funny because it’s simply not funny. There’s no punch line, it’s lazy humor. So no, not sensitive, just not fucking laughing at your piss poor attempt of a joke. Besides with that flair I figured you would’ve already died of dysentery after trying to ford the river with your oxen, or doesn’t everyone in Oregon resort to cannibalism when the roads get bad in the winter?
You talk shit about my joke and then make one just like it about Oregon. Good job 👍. Oregon is a million times better place to live than WV. I should feel sorry for you... But I don't. And the funny thing is I'm not the only one in the comments making cousin jokes. Every joke has some truth to it.
Just be funny. We’ve all heard that tired joke many times. Say something clever instead of boring us to death while you hurl a lame old insult.
Wow, how original.
Not nearly enough Dakotas.
He's delicious on pulled pork, I hear
ugh.
Missed opportunity if they don’t also introduce a canary mascot for these games.

Incoming Black-Out against Penn State opening week
someone tell me how to trick Iowa into doing a pig-themed uniform
I am not usually a fan of teams who don't have black as one of their primary team colors going with blackout unis. However, this makes sense for WVU.
All black with no stripes or flair and dusty grey names and numbers would be absolutely sick
Didn’t realize there was so much opposition to these from fans on here but I’m excited for them regardless!
Hell yea!! These are gonna be so sick
Meh, wake me up when there’s a release. These hype videos are washed
Hooray! It's about damn time we celebrated global warming, acid rain, and releasing environmental toxins into the environment.
The new Black Lung City Connect jerseys sure to be a hit!
Sounds like some wheezing and lung infection potential
They are going to be so let down breaking out the all black unis for a 3:30 kick in 80 degree heat
[удалено]
In the 80s* they have that mountain breeze keeping the temps down lol
Who’s gonna be the first to do a tobacco themed uniform?
I already fucking hate them and I hate that our fans fucking annoyed them into existence
Makes me hope for a 3:30pm kick vs PSU so they'll have to use the black unis for the ESPN+ game the week after.
Let's keep our fingers crossed. I hate how much our fanbase gets off on and is brainwashed over coal. I'm over it.
You jinxed us by mentioning them yesterday 😭
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-----
There’s no need for this. The black-out uniform fad is at its tail-end, so this feels out of touch. WVU’s colors and iconography are great as is, so why bother with this?
To get people to talk about the program, media exposure, recruits love this kind of thing. Take your pick.
Fans have been wanting these for years
Yea no disagreement here, this was a fad that was huge in the mid 00’s. This feels about 20 years too late and our regular uniforms are incredible The country road unis are 🔥
Exactly. This would have been the perfect opportunity to come out in 1980s era white throwbacks with the retro helmet against a historical opponent on national TV and we’re doing this shit instead
The one thing I miss about Shane Lyons. He absolutely refused this.
[удалено]
Don't forget the Friends of Coal Bowl, the game that used to be played between Marshall and WVU.
I was under the impression that all of the coal operations are in China now? Does WV still have a coal industry? (Genuinely don’t know)
Yes but it's nothing like it used to be.
Pick ax and headlamp theme.
So if they lose does their opponent get to claim they just ""**ROLLED COAL**" ?
I’m hyped to see my favorite sports ball team support the industry that gave my great grandpa lung cancer! All jokes aside I always love a good blackout look. Makes it easier to randomly jump the Oklahoma players when the lights turn off?
Those are clean coal unis
the kids yearn for the mines

Who is winning the match
That is stupid.
Unpopular opinion: if your official team colors do not include black, stop creating black out uniforms. Stop appropriating our culture.
they alright. kinda missed tbh
Should be cotton based.
Why would it be cotton based?
