Black Monday »

I’m not a huge NFL Football fan, but last night’s game reminded me of so many Mountaineer football games…
The whole world thinks you’re gonna lose, you’re undersized, undertalented, not enough media coverage, your coach threatened to be fired … the list goes on. How many times in the 28 year history of watching the Mountaineers [...]

Day 1 of Bubble Watch begins at Providence. »

Tonight’s game against the Providence Friars will be on the line for two reasons. One, if you read my blog from yesterday you’ll know that WVU will have to be at least .500 in their final six road outings to have a shot at the Big Dance. If the Eers lose to the [...]

Back on track… A Sooner Speaks: Part 1 »

I have been so obsessed with the coaching situation at WVU that I’ve been slow to post the first in a series of Q and A’s with Matt over at The Sooner Schooner. We are interrogating the enemy so to speak to get a better idea of who we are facing in the Fiesta Bowl. [...]

What the hell is a Sooner anyway? »

I’ll admit it, I don’t really know much about Oklahoma football or their fans. So I decided to find out.
I thought the best way to get the truth about the Sooners was to go straight to the most reliable source, an Oklahoma Sooner fan site. I contacted the guys over at one of the best [...]

Oklahoma Cornerback is out for Fiesta Bowl »

CBS Sportsline is reporting that Reggie Smith will miss the Fiesta Bowl because of a broken toe. Tis a shame!
I’ve read that WVU will need to figure out how to adjust to the D of OU and especially be able to adjust if they start crowding the line like PITT did last Saturday. Maybe this [...]

Mountaineer determination… »

Went to the football training room yesterday- the boys are all very excited but focused, and look forward to the atmosphere this weekend. Thought I should remind everyone that it’s our duty to make it one hard to play in:
Earlier in the season, after our loss to, as Rich Rod called them, “that team down [...]
