How can you not be romantic about college baseball? Former West Virginia kicker Pat McAfee and current head football coach Rich Rodriguez were loving West Virginia’s 12-2 win over Cal Poly in Game 1 of the Super Regionals, toasting beers together after a grand slam.

McAfee played for Rodriguez in Morgantown from 2005-08 before going on to a successful NFL career with the Indianapolis Colts from 2009-16. McAfee is now a successful broadcaster who has his own show on ESPN and is an analyst for the network’s “College Gameday” during college football Saturdays. The Mountaineers are now just 1 win away from their first-ever trip to the College World Series ever.
