The FanHouse, which apparently has bloggers who actually watched the NIT, noticed that West Virginia celebrated its championship game victory last night in a uniquely West Virginian way: by wearing NIT championship t-shirts with their state's name misspelled. However, the blame goes to 6thManSportswear.com, not the institution that produced outstanding sports citizens like Pacman Jones and Chris Henry. They posted an apology (since removed):

***PLEASE NOTE: In our rush to put up a graphic immediately after the closing buzzer, we inadvertently used in incorrect image. We apologize for the error. The correct Championship Tee Shirts will ship, not the "misspelled" shirt! Thank You!

Also, in their rush to get an apology up, they failed to catch the difference between "in" and "an." Man, these guys are awesome at copy editing. I can see why they're working for the tournament that determines the 66th best team in college. Maybe they do tattoos. I've been wanting some new ink. I'm thinking about something half-assed and crappy.

HICK-Y UPDATE: NBX sends in this action shot of the tee-shirt not being read.
