Coach Rod reinstates Lankster and Thomas »

Got this story from the wire this morning. Looks like coach Rod is feeling generous (or realizes we might need these guys down the stretch)
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia reinstated cornerback Ellis Lankster and linebacker J.T. Thomas, who were arrested last month for receiving stolen property, after the two agreed to enter a pretrial diversion […]

Herbstreit: Right & Wrong »

Kirk Working It
My take on Herbstreit’s Top 5 after Week 3

USC
LSU
Florida
Oklahoma
Penn State

1. USC
Why he’s right: Loads of talent on both sides of the ball, they absolutely destroyed Nebraska at home, and Pete Carroll
Why he’s wrong: Pac-10 is a two horse race at best with USC and Cal, AGAIN…maybe Oregon can make some noise, […]

Arrr…walk the plank, matees »

Pirate Nation GAY???
In honor of National Talk like a Pirate Day I thought it would appropriate to share a few rumblings from within the ECU Pirate Ship…or Pirate Nation as they call it.
The athletic director Terry Holland is dealing with some mutiny.
Head Coach Skip Holtz is bashing on the skaliwags:
“Though there were some nice individual […]

Tough Loss for the Mountaineers »

Not literally, but with Louisville dropping the ball on Saturday, the Mountaineers may as well be 3-0-1. This has become obvious as WVU continues to drop in the rankings (it feels like WVU could go 12-0 and be ranked 13th at this rate). I’m not one to put a lot of faith in polls this […]

Sirius and Rival.com join up for RIVALS RADIO »

If you were thinking of getting a satellite radio anytime soon, now is the time. I stumbled on a great show dedicated to College Football called Rivals Radio. It is on Sirius Sports 123 at 7am every weekday. Finally, a good daily sports show dedicated to college sports. It’s really entertaining and offers up some […]

Big East: Week 3 thoughts »

Pat White doing his thing.
Things are starting to shake out in the Big East finally. After a great 15 - 2 start to the season, the conference is starting to play like the rest of the league… as expected. Of course, you have to exclude Syracuse from this statement, they just suck.
WVU played very […]

Couchburner Ignites! »

Got a good rant from Couchburner today
How do we keep dropping in the polls? it’s crazy. friggin’ PSU is 10th now after beating three opponents that are worse than the three we’ve played…and they’ve all been home games. crap i tell you, total crap. The only justice i see is Wisconsin […]

Maryland Game Round-Up »

Oh my, he’s gone.
I’ve been on the net for a bit today reading all of the posts and articles about the WVU vs. Maryland game that will be held tonight at Byrd Stadium, MD. Here are a few of the interesting observations:
From one of my favorite blogs (besides this one of course) the bastards had […]

This is Nuts… “Wearing Texas T-shirt nearly got man castrated” »

When it comes to a football rivalry we all understand what it’s like to get emotional about your team. It doesn’t even matter if your team wins, you still get crazy and alcohol doesn’t help the situation. Hence the couch burning.
Well apparently a guy in Oklahoma took this to a new level…
According to police, 32-year-old […]

ECU vs. WVU game time change »

The Sept. 22 ECU/WVU kickoff time has changed from 3:30 pm to Noon. Apparently ESPN has decided to pick up the game. Another national TV appearance for the Mounties!
Personally, I don’t like this change. It’s going to really screw up my tailgate. Oh well, I’ll take national TV coverage any day.
ECU beat the North Carolina […]
