Well, it certainly has been a while since I’ve been on here to share thoughts and insight into the world of WVU’s sports programs, and I have thought when I got the chance to sit down and write again I wanted it to be something big.
Well today, that something big happened.
I was interviewed on live [...]

Go over to ESPN’s article about the BCS and it’s first 10 years. Kind of a love fest between ESPN and the BCS if you ask me but they do give Pat White some kudos so I’ll forgive them for trying to shoot down any talk of a playoff system.
So give it a read and [...]

Pat White makes the front page of the ESPN College Football site as WVU is named top team in the Big East going into Spring Football. See the article on ESPN.
2. USF
3. Louisville
4. Rutgers
5. Cincinnati
6. Pittsburgh
7. UConn
8. Syracuse
Does anyone else remember when Syracuse used to be at the top of the heap every year? You [...]

You know… this really proves that the women’s rankings are a sham.
Even after the West Virginia women’s basketball team defeated their highest-ranking opponent ever (plus blowing-out Seton Hall in their home gym) they did not move a single spot.
Even more infuriating -  Rutgers moved down ONLY three spots to number seven despite getting by 15th-ranked [...]

The dust is settling on the 2007-08 football season and the end of season rankings, 2008 preseason polls, and year in review articles are out and our Mountaineers are all over the place. Also, in the middle of all this “year end hoopla” is the seemingly never ending WV coaching carousel. I’ve tried to absorb [...]

Despite Coach Huggs’s signature win against then 10th-ranked Marquette the West Virginia men’s basketball team failed to reach the Top 25 this week in both the AP and Coaches poll.  They rank 30th this week in Coaches while 29th in the AP poll. If there’s any consolation for yesterday’s victory over the Golden Eagles they have [...]

To cap off the worst month of being a Mountaineer fan in recent history, the West Virginia Mountaineer basketball team fell out of both the AP and the USA Today/Coaches poll. WVU fell from 23rd last week to 31st in the AP poll with 15 measly voting points while in the coaches they fell from [...]

My rock star buddy sent me a funny link from a Georgia blog starring Adult Swim’s Carl called BCS: Bad College Stupid
[EDIT by Mountaineerbob]
Ok I don’t care who you’re a fan of, this is funny. I decided to put it on our site for that reason. If you can’t laugh at this there is just [...]

Check it out:
WVU #1 on ESPN’s Top 16. With eight first place votes and the comment, “The stakes in the Backyard Brawl have never been higher. A victory over Pitt sends WVU to the BCS title game. Who saw that coming after the loss to South Florida two months ago?”
Eyes on the prize, eyes on [...]
