WVU battles Rutgers at the Coliseum tonight »

It has been a week since Ronald Ramon broke the hearts of Mountaineers fans seeking revenge against the hated Pitt Panthers. Hopefully they had enough time to lick their wounds and bounce back.

Well it has.
Last Thursday, West Virginia was seconds away from upsetting the overrated Panthers at the Peterson. WVU couldn’t make their free throws when they [...]

Recruiting Update »

I was just checking the BlueGold news commit list and Ternence Kerns and Josh Jenkins signed their LOI. It’s about freakin time.
I reported the other day that Kerns was struggling with his grades but I guess he’s gotten the “wink” that he is doing well enough to get the “C” he needs to come up [...]
