Oldest WVU Letterman Dies at 97
Depressing? A little. I just thought we could all give this WVU hero a proper send off. LETS GOOOOOOOO Joe Johnston!!!! Thanks for being a loyal Mountaineer!
Pittsburgh Movie Casting Director Fired After Seeking Extras Who Looked Inbred
Maybe our bitching about how stereotypical Hollywood is toward WV worked a little bit. The casting agent got canned in less than one day after she opened her fat trap to the press about what type of extras they needed for this horror flick. Bitch got what she deserved. The people in Pittsburgh have no self awareness, it’s really peculiar.
WVU Rifle Team back in the tourney:
MORGANTOWN — West Virginia University, which has more NCAA rifle championships than any other school, has qualified for the national tournament for the first time since the university cut the sport’s funding five years ago. The Mountaineers, who last went to the tournament in 2002, will compete against Alaska-Fairbanks, Kentucky, Nebraska, Nevada-Reno, Texas Christian, Army and Navy on March 14 and 15 at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.
No broken bones!!!
Robert Byrd. The Man, The Myth, THe Legend busted his ass last night at his home and was rushed off to the hospital. The old fart is 90 and still kickin’ ass in the Senate. Maybe he should think about retiring and taking the open A.D. job in Morgantown. Lord knows he would be able to raise enough money for 2 new football facilities, a new coliseum, a PRT system that covers the whole state, and he could make one phone call to take care of the RR situation.
