"Worst State Ever" has spread...
Watching WVU- OSU basketball game, and during the intro, they showed the crowd at WVU, and one of the kids in their student section was wearing an MGoBlog "Worst State Ever" shirt. Awesome. Our "friends" from WVU may be misguided and scorned, but at least they, too, can agree that Ohio is, in fact, the worst state ever.
Also, this would lead me to believe that someone at WVU read/reads MGoBlog. Insert "West Virginia has the internet?" joke here _____.

I would like to know the combined I.Q. of that stadium right now.
January 23rd, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
Probably somewhere just slightly north of em0/2001's mgopoints total.
January 23rd, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
for, it is difficult to suppress such undeniable truth.
January 23rd, 2010 at 2:21 PM ^
I'd prefer people from the state of West Virginia not be the ones to decide who the Worst State Ever is. That is our job.
January 23rd, 2010 at 2:26 PM ^
I don't think a state where it is socially ok to marry your cousin should have a vote in Worst State Ever.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:01 PM ^
You know, that joke would be so much funnier if it were true. Time to move along and pick a different state for the butt of that joke. Maybe one of the about half of the country where it's actually true.

That is way more states than I would have ever guessed - and it ranges all over the political/geographic spectrum.
Back to WV, that state does have a law that permits residents to collect and eat roadkill, provided the fatality is reported within 12 hours:

Michigan has a law banning oral sex. The Puritans wrote a lot of weird laws that were never taken off the books.
January 24th, 2010 at 10:50 AM ^
i think they should ban oral sex in states where roadkill may be eaten.
January 24th, 2010 at 4:19 PM ^
The West Virginia roadkill-cuisine law was passed not in the 19th century, but in 1998.

Spending two minutes on that website made me feel exceptionally dirty.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:33 PM ^
...if it didn't come from one of those "thousand computers."

When I moved here, the first person I met was a grad student who was dating her step-brother. In her defense, she had been dating him for five years. Both her mother and his father were widowed and had been introduced by the grad student and her boyfriend. The parents began dating and married two years later. After the grad student and her step-brother broke up. He moved home to live with his father. This was a weird situation for her.
I was sure Mississippi would be on the list of permissive states. I'm glad we're not.
January 24th, 2010 at 6:31 PM ^
While exploring that website it seems like a physically impotent person cannot get married in North Carolina. That is really weird.
January 24th, 2010 at 8:39 PM ^
Weird, but not that uncommon.

Is selling those shirts to WVU fans in heavy volume to break even for RR's buyout. Only 999,999 shirts left!

I've had a long standing belief that West Virginia doesn't really exist. It's just an elaborate ruse by the wealthy to avoid paying taxes. They've built up this reputation for their state to be full of miners and yokels, neither of which pay too much in taxes as there isn't any money in being either. They created this fictitious place on the map by cutting out parts of 3-4 surrounding states and placed signs claiming you're entering or exiting the state within about 20 miles of each other. No one ever really meets anyone from West Virginia. They just meet people paid to say that.
The University is actually in a portion of western Virginia that's close enough for people to think the road signs are legitimate.
January 23rd, 2010 at 6:10 PM ^
When the apocalypse comes I want to be in WV. Why? Because everything happens 20 years later there than the rest of the world. Then again, whats worse? The apocalypse or West Virginia.
January 23rd, 2010 at 2:58 PM ^
you've got to bring it when the first worst is in town.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:45 PM ^
They are also chanting "Fuck you Turner." Couple classy programs.
January 23rd, 2010 at 3:53 PM ^
Or does Bob Huggins just seem to fit perfectly at WVU?
January 23rd, 2010 at 4:07 PM ^
Wow, did Turner kill them down the stretch or what? In the last 5 minutes, he missed 4 of 5 free throws (including a front end of a 1-and-1, committed a turnover driving down the lane and forced an awful shot on the baseline. The only good thing he did down the stretch was the impressive rebound with about a minute and a half left. I don't know what was worse, his play down the stretch or Thad Matta's coaching.

I suggested this shirt to a friend of mine, who was looking for a shirt for her husband. They're from Georgia, and he had never been to Michigan till we went to a couple of games together. He wears it all the time.

I saw a girl wearing a Worst State Ever shirt but in different colors, and she said they (Wisconsin fans) had made it for an OSU football game.
I think that Wisconsin fans tend to make up imaginary rivalries with UM and OSU because they think they've been on the same level historically.
/born in Wisconsin, never a Badger fan
January 24th, 2010 at 10:08 PM ^
I would point out the inability of those shirts to be true (five worst states?), but I have a feeling a Wisconsin fan would get distracted and do a beer bong in the middle of the conversation.
January 24th, 2010 at 10:15 PM ^
Sconnie Nation has a place in my heart, and always will, for coming up with 'We Will Never Forget You, Brent.'
January 24th, 2010 at 10:16 PM ^
Check out the rest of those shirts. They're not ashamed of anything in Wisconsin.
More power to them, I guess.
