Today, we will get our first look at this new version of the West Virginia Mountaineers with the Gold-Blue Spring Festival. The team has been split up into two via a draft held by the coaches. The draft did not go by picking the best available player, and instead, they went position by position.

Rich Rod on the Festival
“I think we’re calling it like a Spring Festival, Rodriguez said earlier this spring. “We’re trying to make it an event for fans to come out and to be fan-friendly. I think they want to see some football too, so we’ll have some competitive stuff. We may do things a little bit different — do some one-on-ones and some different things that fans may want to watch. The scrimmage part, I’ve never been that that’s the end-all be-all, and if you had a great spring scrimmage, that means you’re destined for greatness or the opposite. We’ll come up with a format.”
