That Philly Feeling

The Big East announced its conference schedule matchups (not the schedule, just who plays who where) today. Here's what WVU's schedule looks like:
WEST VIRGINIA
Home Cincinnati, Georgetown, Louisville, Marquette, Pittsburgh, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Syracuse, Villanova
Away Connecticut, DePaul, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, St. John’s, Seton Hall, USF, Villanova
At first blush, it seems like a pretty fair draw. We always play Pitt home and away, so no surprise there. And Seton Hall, while not a pushover, will at least help balance out league-favorite Villanova. Knee-jerk predictions after the jump.

I couldn't think of a better photo to properly describe the excitement and momentum building behind Pitt football. You probably can feel it right through your computer screen

Want To Rename Our Mascot? Yeah, Didn't Think So

OK, so some ridiculously hippie-leaning environmental group is sponsoring a contest to rename WVU's mascot, since West Virginia apparently doesn't have any mountains left. Funny, as I look out my window, all I can see is mountains. I also drove from Charleston to Morgantown today and had to take quite a few turns -- it sure didn't feel like Kansas. But I digress.
Whatever your views on mountaintop removal, I think we can all agree that this is the stupidest contest in a long, long time. I really would like to win the contest and the $100, then burn it ceremoniously before the first football game. Or shove it up the group's collective ass. Either would work.
OK, so here's my challenge: win this contest. Win it so that this money and "respect" doesn't go to someone who truly believes the Mountaineer should have a new name. And post your ideas in the comments. Bonus points for snarkiness...obviously.

"If You're Driving Drunk, Don't Also Try To Text," a how-to guide of college athletics, by Dr. Charley West

Honestly, how stupid do you have to be play college football? Every day, we hear about athletes, given nearly every opportunity to succeed on the highest level, proceed to ruin those chances (and generally, there are quite a few) in spectacular fashion. The most recent example is Sergio Kindle, linebacker for the University of Texas. Kindle, who had already been suspended earlier in his career for DWI, lost control of his vehicle while texting and careened into an apartment building, essentially condemning two apartments in the process. Kindle then fled the scene.
Listen, very obviously: Kindle was drunk. Drunk enough to so badly lose control of his vehicle that he hit a stationary building. The only people I have known to do that are the elderly and girls I went to law school with. Cal Naughton, Jr. wanted to have the stereo and TV on at the same time because he liked to party. Kindle, on the other hand, didn't think driving drunk was enough excitement, hence the texting (and assault of an apartment building with his car).
Attention, college athletes: Charley West would never advocate drinking and driving. Afterall, I'm a doctor, for goodness sakes. But if you do find yourself shitfaced and behind the wheel of a moving automobile (whether you realize it's moving or not), try your absolute best to avoid hitting stuff. For those few minutes, devote all your time to simply driving, not attempting to lose your scholarship and ruin your future by hitting buildings that have a firm foundation in the ground. You can try to get laid once you get to your destination. Remember, you're a football player -- you can wait 5 minutes to text whatever drunk skank you're going to fondle. Just focus. OK?
I guess Texas should commend Kindle for leaving the scene, because now, instead of being charged with another DWI, he'll probably face lesser charges resembling leaving the scene of an accident. So, bravo Sergio. That's some quick thinking, after the very slow thinking that got you into this mess in the first place.

Sportsline Picks WVU 5th... Using Darts
by CTschwink

5. West Virginia -- Sorry, West Virginians. You lose Pat White and your prospects don't improve. White was one of the Big East's best-ever players and perhaps the best player in West Virginia history. The slippery quarterback cannot be fully replaced, but Jarrett Brown will give it a shot. The senior gets his shot to start in his final season. The 6-foot-4 Brown is more of a physical dual-threat quarterback. What Brown can't do, tailback Noel Devine can. After rushing for almost 2,000 yards in his first two seasons, this could be Devine's breakout year. A Heisman run wouldn't be surprise. The Mountaineers will have to win at least nine again to make it happen. That could be a struggle.
Dennis Dodd posted a blog entry featured on the front page of CBS Sports with his picks for the Big East this upcoming season. He puts WVU at the number five spot with Rutgers at number one. Really? Rutgers at number one? He must have actually used darts before he wrote this article.
Besides the fact that he's clearly been fooled by Fake Greg Schiano and his hysterical hype of Rutgers football, the man gives no nod to our defense which only looks to improve off of a surprisingly strong season last year. The race for the Big East is obviously wide open and there is no clear front runner, but how could you pick a team with an offense with huge question marks at quarterback, running back and receiver (Good O-Line though, too bad they have no one to block for) that might just average the same amount of points this year as it did in 1869? (3 points for the stat keepers)
Then again, I guess there was a more embarrassing option.

Auburn Game to Kick Off at 7:45 on ESPN or ESPN2
I don't want to say that this is what I have been hoping for since the series was announced, but...this is what I have been hoping for ever since the series was announced. I'm positively giddy about the chance to tailgate in front of Jordan-Hare for an entire day in late September with thousands of gorgeous southern belles wearing sundresses. Nevermind that we'll probably lose by at least 3 touchdowns.

Is Bill Stewart on the Hot Seat?

Pete Fiutak of CFN seems to think so. (Aside: check out who's #1 on Fiu's list as well as most of the others.) But aside from being a national college football journalist commentator, what sort of credentials does Fiu have to make that assessment? Granted, it probably looks from a national perspective like the WVU program has fallen in the last year with the 9-4 Car Care Bowl season and subsequent departure of the best player to ever wear the flying WV, but is Stew in any real danger of being fired? (I know, I know, it seems like we've been over this before, but it's the offseason, it's slow, and it's actually a different angle on the issue, trust me.)

Honestly, outside of hearing his name, I don't much about this guy. Does anybody out there have some first-hand knowledge? If so, give us your best report in the comments.
