West Virginia fans 'Trust The Climb' as they react to comeback win against Kansas
By Joseph Smith
Last weekend, West Virginia football coach Neal Brown felt the temperature rise on his hot seat as fans reacted to a tough Backyard Brawl loss.
This weekend, it seems that Brown is back in the good graces of WVU fans and media members after his team pulled off a captivating come-from-behind 32-28 victory over Kansas football.
Following the win, a number of WVU fan accounts on social media site 'X' were ready to embrace Brown's "Trust The Climb" slogan and were pondering whether it's time to believe in a long-term future for the program with Brown in the picture.
WVU football alum and College Gameday host Pat McAfee admired the team's resiliency in one post, while WVU sports reporter Mike Asti wondered how different the feeling around the program might be had the Mountaineers staved off a similar comeback win by rival Pitt last week in the Backyard Brawl.
However, some fans did take time on social media to point out the game was nearly a loss, and there are still serious concerns to address with this season's team.
