Armand would definitely be cheering for the news that his dear home of Morgantown, West Virginia has been named one of the top college football towns by Budget Travel:
Game-day tradition: About 60,000 people trek into Milan Puskar Stadium for every home game-temporarily making it the biggest city in the state. Since 1972, the marching band has played John Denver's "Take Me Home, Country Roads" before every game-and should the Mountaineers prevail, fans stick around to sing it again, even louder.

You may remember that Armand sold tickets at the WVU games. Back in November, 1947, he made an average of $10.00 a game:
"6.00 for selling, plus complimentary tickets that I sell, and lunch".
Which makes you wonder what the price of a ticket was back then.
