  1. Well That Sucked

    I don't know how you lose to a team that gets three technical fouls called on it. Is Truck Bryant the new Jamie Smalligan? Plays the first couple minutes of the game and doesn't get back in...

  2. Around the Big East Blogs

    When we're too tired to do any real writing, we link up. And sadly, we haven't been linking to our friends and enemies too much lately. Shameful, but true...

  4. Spreading the Wealth to Beat Rutgers

    Rather than Da'Sean Butler or Alex Ruoff doing all the scoring this time, West Virginia had to rely on some unfamiliar faces to get some points. The game started off with West Virginia scoring like they were playing the Washington Generals...

  5. West Virginia-Notre Dame: Bully Game Goes Well for Mountaineers

    If you were tuning in to the WVU-ND game to see offensive precision, you probably liked the first five minutes of the game. After that, it got personal...

  6. Notre Dame-West Virginia: Worst School Ever Coming to Morgantown

    It's not that I really really really hate Notre Dame. It's a little bit that I've been way too nice here lately, when I have been here. It's a little bit hate since I've really enjoyed Notre Dame falling out of the polls with a huge thud...

  7. College Basketball Blogpoll Explained

    - UConn was a no-brainer until last night, of course.- UNC seems like a team with more intensity than Oklahoma, and the scoring comes from more than just three players. UNC has six players averaging in double figures, where Oklahoma has three...

  8. Blogpoll Basketball Style

    Wow, this is a lot tougher than the football poll. Especially when you have so many ranked teams falling over the weekend or being on the longest losing streak of the season...

  9. Alex Ruoff Would Like to Remind You Why You Should Guard Him

    I think you can point to a lot of reasons why Alex Ruoff hasn't been as effective this year shooting three-pointers. The Joe Mazzulla injury has forced him to take on more roles, being a senior ...

  10. Van Pelt Suspension

    As I'm waiting for the WVU-Providence game to get started, I came across the news that Scott Van Pelt has been suspended via Deadspin. The reason is for an outburst directed at MLB commissioner Bud Selig last week and his rather large salary...

  11. Louisville-West Virginia: Well, That Was Fun

    Not really. Honestly, the Mountaineers didn't look like they belonged on the same court with Louisville. The Cardinals beat West Virginia in every way you can imagine...

  12. Going to Louisville

    Yeah, that win over St. Johns was a nice exercise, but the game with Louisville tomorrow is big. BIG big!It's a chance for a true signature win...

  13. West Virginia-Pitt: Thoughts on the Game

    I think Dave Poe said it best, that Pitt was just the better team. For most of the game I didn't feel like West Virginia was doing anything wrong. Pitt had a size advantage in the paint that West Virginia just wasn't equipped to deal with...

  14. Blogpoll Final Ballot: Florida, USC Top Two Teams

    Not a lot of changes from my original ballot. I had to work Iowa in there and get Northwestern out. I feel comfortable with the winner of the UF/OU game being the No. 1 team. Utah had a great season, but I just can't see them as the best team this year...

  15. West Virginia-Marquette: Mountaineers Fall in Frustrating Loss to Golden Eagles

    For a game that was so physical, and quite ugly at times, it's hard to imagine such a disparity in fouls—more importantly, such a disparity in foul shots. Marquette ended the game 24-27 from the line, while WVU was 6-10...

  16. Lineman Greg Isdaner of West Virginia Going Pro

    Well, this is a bit of a kick in the shin. Greg Isdaner has decided to enter the draft and pass on his senior season. Stanchek was an All-American last year, and Isdaner was first-team all-conference...

  17. Blogpoll Final Ballot Draft

    Well, that headline sure is confusing. Anyway, this is how I see it. Your comments, please. I have until Monday to make changes. I already see that I left Iowa out, which is wrong for sure...

  18. West Virginia's Shot Selection Major Factor in UConn Loss

    Huggs on the right there pretty much sums it up. The 61-55 loss to the Huskies was both frustrating and refreshing. Frustrating because we definitely took some ill-advised shots...

  19. WVU Keeps Rolling and I Got Out Just In Time

    After a spirited first half by both teams, West Virginia pulled away from Seton Hall in the second half for a 92-66 win. With six players scoring in double figures, it's hard to choose a player of the game...

  21. Congrats to Rutgers

    Rutgers started out the season 1-5 and were all but left for dead. But quietly, things turned around even while they were still losing games...

  22. Why Yes, It Is a Great Day to be a Mountaineer

    And a great day to drink! If that's your thing. There's a lot of mixed emotions with it being the last time we'll see Pat White in a Mountaineer uniform. If we don't retire his number right away, I would call on Stew to at least ban anyone from wearing No

  23. WVU-UNC Football: Second-Half Live Blog

    If anything, WVU has been a second-half team this year. That trend will need to continue, obviously! Let's see what Pat White and the offense can do to start the second half, and what plan Casteel comes up with to stop Nicks...

    The game is about to get underway. Stew is fired up and wants Mountaineer fans to take over the city of Charlotte. We don't quite know what that means, but we just nod our heads and go along to get along...

  25. Because We Car Care

    Hey, we'll be liveblogging the WVU-UNC game today. We might do the WVU-OSU basketball game later today. It really all depends, ya know?We're most likely going to go without Sidney Glover and Brandon Hogan on defense...
