8 Mountaineers waiting for the call »

So we have quite a few players with a realistic chance to go to the big show this weekend in the NFL Draft. Actually we have 8 that have entered the draft… Saturday might actually be interesting for a WVU fan because usually it’s an eight hour waste of time. I can’t believe people actually […]

Introducing Ralphie, the 2nd best mascot in college football »

Obviously the Mountaineer will have the advantage in this mascot battle if they let him bring the Musket into the stadium. I have a feeling they will try to pull a Wisconsin and ban the Musket.

When Devine was still attending North Fort Myers High […]

Pittsburgh Primary: A Mountaineers Perspective »

Primary Pittsburgh Project

I was asked by some Pittsburgh bloggers who are working on a project with the Greater Pittsburgh Chamber of Commerce, to write a post about the Pittsburgh Primary and how it has impacted my life over the past 6 weeks. I thought it would be impossible to tie it together with Mountaineer football […]

Spring.. er.. football is in the air! »

I’m going to the Gold/Blue game on Saturday and I hope I see this kind of scene in the AM hours.
So I’ve been reading some people chatting over at bluegoldnews and apparently the fans that are attending the Spring game will not be allowed on the field after the game to mingle with the players […]
