As many of you know, The Jj is originally from the great state of West Virginia. Yeah I know you were once in Richmond and liked it, but that's in a whole different state, there are 50 of them now believe it or not.

Anyway, there has never been a better time to hail from the Mountain state. The football team has enjoyed a resurgence over the past five years led by Pat White and Steve Slaton. And of course, the basketball team is currently in Indianapolis (perhaps the only state capital more depressing than Charleston, WV) for the Final Four. Not since Jerry West ruled the hardwood has WVU been in the Final Four.

So it's not surprising to find out that those adorable hipsters in Brooklyn (where most of WVU's basketball team hails from) have picked up on one of West Virginia's finest exports, the coonskin cap. It's warm, stylish and oh so mountainy. You can almost smell the Appalachian Mountains when you put it on.

So I urge you all to get in on this trend while it's hot. It's not every day the rest of the country can pull off what we mountaineers have been pulling off for generations, a recently killed coon, complete with neck warming tail.
