Thanks Huggins and the WVU Men’s Basketball Team

I would like to personally thank Bob Huggins and the WVU men’s Basketball Team for helping all of us Mountaineers get over the damn Rich Rodriguez fiasco. What a great unexpected run in the NCAA tournament. One of many to come I’m sure.
Oh yeah, and a little thing called the Fiesta Bowl Champs doesn’t hurt either! I think JeremyC said it best in a comment earlier today:
Name another school that can boast this: ‘04-05 Elite Eight, ‘05-06 Sweet 16, ‘06-07 NIT Champs, ‘07-08 Sweet 16, 2006 Sugar Bowl Champs, 2007 Gator Bowl Champs and 2008 Fiesta Bowl Champs. Not many schools have dominated both major revenue sports as WVU has in the last four to five years. There is no question we have officially arrived as a national power in both basketball and football.

West Virginia has been represented very well in our sports programs by our coaches,staffs and fans. As far as I am concerned, our basketball team is as good as any of the teams that were in the Sweet Sixteen tournment. We should tell these people this when we see them. We have nothing to be ashamed of and they have put West Virginia in the spotlight.

We win together and we lose together. You cannot blame any one person for a loss or a win. The fouls and bad passes that were missed at the begining of the game are just as important as the ones at the end of the game. It is unfair to blame something that happened at the end of the game for the loss of the game. None of our athletic programs have no reason to hang their heads.
