The #1 Small City in the U.S.

Morgantown, West Virginia has been named the #1 small city in the nation by many different magazines. I had a great time in this small city and was amazed by the hills. I guess that's why they call them the Mountaineers. Driving around the city is crazy, because you can be on a main road, take a turn, and end up driving up a huge hill. A lot of the Fraternities are located on a very steep hill. I can't imagine walking back from class each day up the hill. I went to the WVU/Pittsburgh last night, and found out that I had been ripped off by the scalper. I'm an idiot and didn't check out the $7 face value on the ticket when I bought it for $25. The guy straight up lied to me and I was huffin and puffin by the time I got to my last row seat. Atleast I could take a good picture of the arena. The game went in to overtime and the Mountaineers beat ranked Pitt. I've never seen a team shoot so many 3 pointers. WVU went 13/42 from behind the arc and still won. I was very amused by the arena's scoreboard. All of the animation was from the 80's and was the type of stuff I would put on a scoreboard. Example: When Pitt was called for traveling, and man appeared on the screen with luggage, and he hops on a train that says traveling. That's my type of humor. They kept showing an outline of the state of West Virginia. For all of you who aren't familiar with the state its outline looks like a hand flicking you off. I was very offended. When I got back to my hotel, I saw the highlights of the ISU/Texas game. Are you kidding me, we can't beat Baylor on the road or any team in the last four years, but we upset ranked Texas. On the way back to Amishville I stopped through Pittsburgh to check out Pitt and Carnegie Melon. Both schools are amazing and the architecture and atmosphere is great. That's what I do in my spare time. Fun, huh. I've become very good at taking pictures while driving. I call them Automopics.
