I would like to personally thank Bob Huggins and the WVU men’s Basketball Team for helping all of us Mountaineers get over the damn Rich Rodriguez fiasco. What a great unexpected run in the NCAA tournament. One of many to come I’m sure.
Oh yeah, and a little thing called the Fiesta Bowl Champs doesn’t hurt […]

What’s harder than realizing that West Virginia will not make it to the Elite Eight is the fact that I have to blog about this roller-coaster ride of a game but for you, Mountaineer Nation, I must.
Missed free throws, the ones that plagued the Eers in losses to Oklahoma, Georgetown, and Pittsburgh, are the big […]

What will be even sweeter is if we get by the Musketeers of Xavier in Phoenix, Arizona. From there it’s on to the Elite Eight and the chance to beat UCLA for the 3rd consecutive season. That will take us all the way to San Antonio. It will not be an easy task obviously as the […]

Make sure you pay attention to the :14 second mark. Freakin’ hilarious. Even in defeat Duke players are “fierce“.
Also good to note that Henderson got what he deserved, the Duke fans need to relax, it’s basketball. I hope we play this hard and mean tomorrow night. It’s March Madness, no room for babies!

Well, as I’ve been saying for the past few weeks about the West Virginia Women’s Basketball program, the late season slump was going to be there undoing. This senior-laden team, seven in all, had Sweet 16 potential all season. I mean they beat Rutgers this season. But a […]

Steer Clear of this guy’s sports book!
A little advice when you go to Vegas to bet College Basketball:
Stay away from the big lines, the guys who put the lines together are absolute geniuses. I swear I saw Biff Tannen there.
The spread kills.
Parleys suck (but they are sweet when you hit them).
Don’t listen to the strangely […]

When the selections for seeding and also their opponent were made last Monday evening everything went against West Virginia. They were seeded 5th and had to play New Mexico at THEIR home court at THE PIT. As the game played on apparently the refs decided to screw the girls in the second half […]

There were a lot of issues complicating this game even before tipoff. First of all, the second most hated man in West Virginia, Doug Gottlieb, picked West Virginia to win. That’s literally the kiss of death for us. Next, Coach K and their so-called star players Greg Paulus, DeMarcus Nelson, and McDonald’s All-American freshman Kyle […]

Well, I only wish the Mountaineers were 40 minutes away from going to Phoenix against the 15 seed Belmont Bruins. Thanks to Gerald Henderson that didn’t happen so now the Eers must play 40 minutes of solid basketball against ESPN darlings the Duke Blue Devils. The good thing about West Virginia is that […]

Leave it to senior Darris Nichols, junior Alex Ruoff, and sophomore Da’Sean Butler to make the crunch-time buckets when needed as WVU pulled away from the Arizona Wildcats 75-65 in the first round of the NCAA Tournament at the Verizon Center. They will now face the Duke Blue Devils who barely got by the […]
