Gnawlin’s callin: The Formula »

I’ve been on every college football site in the past couple of days and reading the plethora of articles about what needs to happen for my ‘Eers to go to New Orleans and play on Jan 7th.
It’s a pretty simple formula actually.
The Mountaineers win out.
We have to get the job done. First thing is first [...]

Coaching Carousel »

Jeremy posted this in the forums and I thought it’s something we should discuss on the main blog because this morning I heard on the radio some jackass reporter interviewing Coach Rod and asking him about possibly going to Michigan! Luckily Rod just laughed it off and said he was wanting to talk about UCONN [...]

The UCONN game kickoff time changed to 3:30pm »

In yet another move to put WVU on the national stage, the WVU vs. UCONN matchup has been moved to 3:30pm!
AWESOME! This is the game we’ve all been waiting for. The game that will finally decide the Big East Champion and it’s all happening on National TV in Morgantown and it’s an evening game. Now [...]

Vote For Devine: ESPN’s NEXT issue. »

I was looking for some info on Noel Devine and ran into this page on ESPN. It’s about a yearly mag they put out called NEXT. Noel Devine has been nominated to be the featured NEXT Athlete of 2008. This could be huge for Noel and WVU. So get over to this page and vote [...]

“…it’s almost like destiny.” »

It’s become a word synonymous with the 2007 college football season…unbelievable. Stanford upsetting USC in California, Appalachian State defeating Michigan in Ann Arbor. Eleven top 25 teams have now been beaten by unranked squads. It’s safe to say that this year has been filled with both exhilarating victories and crushing defeats, and the West Virginia [...]

Another #2 team goes down!!! »

The dreaded #2 spot has proven to be a curse for the fifth time this year. Oregon falls to Arizona 24 - 34.
Dennis Dixon gets knocked out of the game early in the first quarter and the whole Oregon team imploded.
What does this mean for WVU? What does this mean for Pat White? Quite simply, [...]

Let me know what you think in the comments:

Dear Bearcats, (a letter from Huggins) »

The following letter might not be directly from West Virginia basketball coach Bob Huggins, but it might as well be. I attended his Bearcat basketball camp in the 8th grade and somehow gained the ability to channel his thoughts. This is what he thinks about Saturday’s game.
Bearcat fans,
I know it’s been over a two years [...]

Huggins lands huge recruit »

Just read this over on Charelston Daily Mail
Eat it Pitt!!!!

Jones is 6-foot-7 and 210 pounds. He picked WVU over Pitt and [...]
