They don't condone marrying one's sibling in WV. That's actually frowned upon. First cousins, however, is a different story altogether . . .

Its in the WV moral code. No marrying siblings. Interestingly, from what I've seen on the drive through (on US-19, in particular), it appears as though flying the Dixie Flag is in fact allowed under that same moral code.

I believe that's not only allowed, but encouraged, for much of the South. Go to any gas station south of the Mason-Dixon and you can buy merchandise that says "The South Shall Rise Again." Which usually also features a rebel flag.

Never been to any other D1 college game, save for Umich away games. I will dress accordingly and bring fire resistant clothing. Word is they serve booze at the stadium.. This worries me.

Attended the WVU-Pitt game
Attended the WVU-Pitt game there about ten years ago and sat in the Pitt section. The WVU fans were downright hostile, to the point we were actually a little concerned for the women and children in the section. In other words, I hope you are going as either a WVU supporter or neutral. One other thing: they do a really annoying first down thing like Purdue does. It's annoying.

Considering the coach-poaching
Considering the coach-poaching
going on between UM and WVU over the past few years that may prove to be an equally unwise decision. I've heard horror stories about the behavior of the WVU student section...some of it encroaches on "Mexican soccer fans welcoming the USMNT to El Azteca Stadium"-level bad.
But I have driven through Motown (yes, they actually call it that) on a road trip to Pittsburgh some twenty years ago, and I remember it then being a nice college town. WV is also one of the most overweight states in the US, so chances are good you'll find plenty of food that tastes really good, but is also monumentally unhealthy for you.

In Morgantown...
Although I have not been to a WVU game before admittedly, if it is still on Wall Street, there is a place called Maxwell's, which essentially a deli but it also serves salads and some entrees. The thing I remember about it is that you can create your own sandwich from the ground up and they'll build it for you. Also, the reuben wasn't bad either.
For kicks, take a ride on the Morgantown PRT, if it is operating (it isn't a full-time service) - it is one of the few operating rapid transit systems of its type (personal rapid transit - the cars seat only eight, if I recall).

Overall the atmosphere during game days is very enjoyable and friendly. They're very passionate about their mountaineers. . You should find it enjoyable. Parking might be your biggest headache unless you already have a spot. If you have any questions let me know. I'll try to answer best I can.

My recollection is that the question isn't where you can find it at a reasonable price, but where you can find it at all. I don't remember there being much parking at all that wasn't of the reserved variety. I'm sure others will know better, though.

Is at a premium in/around stadium. Depending on what time you're arriving will affect where you park. The stadium is right behind Ruby hospital and traffic flow can be a pain. Reasonable rates vary from 10 to 35. 10 being a considerable walk to stadium.
