Atlanta Burns Again Just like Sherman ' s Troops during the Civil War, the Moun- taineers took Atlanta by storm. Immediately following the signing of the Peach Bowl bid, plans were being made by thousands of Mountie fans. Entire hotels were reserved for various groups from WVU. The infiltration came in waves beginning with the team flying from Morgantown Sunday night, December 27. They set up their head- quarters at the Atlanta Hilton and the following days were filled with practice at both the Georgia Tech and Fulton County stadii. Next the WVU Marching Band arrived Tuesday, December 29, after a long 16 hour bus trip. They checked into the Sheraton and prompt- ly began practicing at the Georgia Tech Stadium. Both groups were fortunate to have sunny days to prac- tice but it just didn ' t last. With the rest of the Mountaineer fans pouring in literally by the thousands, came colder weather. Wednesday night, the eve before that crucial day, West Virginians held several pre- victory parties. The biggest was the very successful WVU Alumni Party held in the base- ment of the Hilton. Mountie fans get a piece of the victory. On the ground or in the air, the Mountaineers hang tough. Coach Nehlen and Ollie discuss the next big play. 16 Peach Bowl

Which Way to Atlanta At last, the day that West Virginia had been waiting for during the last six years, December 31, 1981, The XIV Peach Bowl. It was a cold and rainy day. The Peach Bowl Parade was cancelled due to a sudden downpour. But the game must go on and the ' Eers and their fans were ready for it. The day was a total success, despite (or is it due to?), the weather. The Mountaineers soundly trounced the heavily favored Gators of the University of Florida, 26-6. The Gators blamed the inclimate weather for their loss, but the Mounties know that it was due to their surprise running game, the ef- forts of MVPs, Mickey Walzak and Donnie Stemple, and the many other record-setting performances. Atlanta rocked that night, like it never rocked before (except for 75 and ' 69). Celebrations of the New Year and the victory lasted until the early morning hours of the day that all Mountaineers would return home happy, victorious and as always Proud. Buck Viers Vinny Lavorgna, Forest Management senior, sheds some rain gear as the weather takes a more pleasant turn. v What happened to the Country Roads? 18 Which Way to Atlanta
