Is color-coordination a Big 12 thing? Was this some kind of "we belong, honest!" initiative from West Virginia on the day of their first conference game as a B12 member? Whatever the motive, we approve of the blue/gold checkerboard* initiative in Morgantown:

We've been making Iowa State do it for years"). In a stadium that encourages allows alcohol consumption, that would surely be a feat.
