            CONGRATULATING WEST VIRGINIA UNIVERSITY FOOTBALL

  (Mr. McKINLEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. McKINLEY. Mr. Speaker, on January 4, the West Virginia University 
Mountaineers football team faced the Clemson University Tigers in the 
prestigious Orange Bowl. Through an outstanding record-setting 
performance, the blue-collar work ethic of the West Virginia 
Mountaineers prevailed.
  Eighty-four percent of the country had predicted that West Virginia 
would lose, but in case you missed it, the final score was 70-33. West 
Virginia's unheralded players proudly showed once again that as a team, 
they can dominate the best of schools on any given day, just like 
they've done defeating Georgia and Oklahoma in previous BCS bowl games.
  Everyone in West Virginia should be proud of their State and their 
flagship university.
  So let me end with this: For those Clemson supporters who still don't 
know where West Virginia is, look in your end zone.
