Reading comprehension is not just an ability, it's a choice
Oh, yes! Gotta beware of those roving packs of hillbillies! Wrong Turn was a documentary after all!
Geesh.
Yes, WVU students have developed a culture of drunkenness, a reputation they feel they have to live up to. That doesn't mean that every incident has to be exaggerated to the point that it's looked at as typical. Chuck Landon at the Herald Dispatch has an well-documented extreme bias against WVU, and he and his paper aren't exactly neutral sources.
In this case the main victim's wife, who was herself a victim, says this has been misreported. What more do you want?

This also fits with the notion that LSU fans probably weren't driving legally and didn't have license plates on their car....
"This isn’t stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
So you judge a schools fan base by the ones who are liquored up, and you have a problem with someone else's criteria?
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
--Woody Hayes
Where do you find fans that aren't liquored up? Seems to me that's a possibility no matter where you go.So you judge a schools fan base by the ones who are liquored up, and you have a problem with someone else's criteria?
BYU?
What about Utah?
The "Worst Fans in College Sports" is whoever just won the conference/national/league championship/title or whoever just beat your favorite team. If they have done it fairly regularly over some time period, they are particularly heinous.
Somehow, Cub fans supercede both rules.

OK, I get your line of thinking. So are you saying we can't compare BYU with Ohio State because one set of fans drink heavily and one doesn't?
My point was how do you judge an OSU fanbase if you say we shouldn't include the ones who are liquored up?
I don't agree with that. Some fans burn up the town like Vancouver, CA did and some don't
No, seriously, Cubs fans are that bad.
