Just a quick rundown of how our “former” boys in Gold and Blue fared in the 2008 NFL Draft.
Steve Slaton went first out of the 3 Mountaineers that got the call over the weekend. He went in the 3rd Round and was the 89th pick. He’ll be playing for the Houston Texans.
Owen Schmitt went next [...]

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 [...]

I can never get enough of this one.

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

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 until I [...]

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 [...]
