This Will Have To Do

Rarely do I agree with anyone on Mountaineer football.  Lend Me Your Eers, however, has a pretty good post recapping the Pitt massacre.  Since I’m still not completely ready to talk in-depth about the game, I’ll let them speak for me.  Here’s a quick preview:
Rich Rodriguez’s biggest weakness as a coach is his inability, or […]

Hope Springs Eternal

Today…today is a new day. I have a new lease on life. I am seeing things clearer. Daisies are pretty.
Seriously, I’m feeling better. The sting is starting to fade, though I will always carry a piece of that game with me — just like 1996 Miami. Either way, it’s time […]

On Location: (Many) Touchdown City

Got into Morgantown last night — promptly ended up at Chic-n-Bones. It’s that kind of weekend. I mean, think about it: this is the beginning of a month-long tailgate for the National Championship game. Why not get it started right, which is why I was drinking in downtown yesterday at 4 in […]

The Backyard Brawl Is Here

Take a minute and sit down, because I have some big news. Huge news. OK, you sitting? Good.
If (read: when) we win tomorrow night, we go to the National Championship game. Yeah, you heard me right. I know you’ve heard that a thousand times over the past two weeks or […]

The 100th Anniversary


Ian Smith Is A Virgin

This is Ian Smith. You see, Mr. Smith is president of the Oakland Zoo, which is apparently a good thing at Pitt. He was interviewed by the Post-Gazette on this thoughts about the upcoming Backyard Brawl. And of course, he did exactly what I expected him to do — make fun of […]

Dandy Don, Pitt Hater

Want to know what Don Nehlen thinks of the direction of the Pitt football program? If you do, be wary. It’s not pretty. In fact, I am going to deem this quote PG-13, parental guidance required. Think Marie Osmond…partially-naked:
“I think Pitt has a tough road to hoe. I think when they […]

This Pretty Much Sums It Up


Pitt Fans Are Confident

Usually, before a game, especially a rivalry game as heated as WVU vs. Pitt, you have your typical shit talking. Usually, knowing Pitt fans, it’s your same, run-of-the-mill, stopped-being-funny-100-years-ago hillbilly stereotypes.   You know, the ones that really make West Virginians cry, because it’s the first time we’ve heard it.  They’re a one-trick pony […]

Mission: Impossible III

This was two years ago. Has anything changed? Anything at all? Two years ago at Mountaineer Field was a bloodbath.  Last year, WVU goes up to Pitt and basically does the exact same thing. This Saturday, Pitt enters as more than a four touchdown underdog. Wannstedt is as lost as […]
