West Virginia University football fans can gather for a watch party on Saturday (Oct. 5) when the No. 17 Baylor Bears host the Mountaineers in Texas.

The Mountaineer Parents Club is partnering with the Mountaineer Maniacs to host the party in the Mountainlair Ballrooms. Doors open at 7:30 p.m., and kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m.

The watch party is part of Fall Family Weekend.

“We encourage families to join us in cheering on the Mountaineers during this fun-filled event,” said Sabrina Cave, assistant vice president for Student Affairs.

Snacks and drinks will be provided, and there will be giveaways throughout the evening, as well. Students are asked to bring canned food items to the event to support The Rack, WVU’s food pantry. For every can of food, students will receive a raffle ticket good for drawings throughout the game.

“We have a ton of great WVU merchandise to raffle off,” said Chris Northrup, Mountaineer Maniacs executive director. “Coming off of last week’s thrilling win over the No. 11 team in the nation, this weekend’s watch party offers students and parents the chance to come together and cheer on the Mountaineers in another game against a top 20 team.”
