Everyone Loves Summer Camp

by Dr. Charley West on Aug 1, 2008 11:55 AM EDT in 2008 Is Almost Here

...at least when that summer camp involves Mountaineer football. My camp never did. It was disguised as "active camp," but fat camp by any other name is still fat camp. But, you know what? It worked. Three bouts of bulimia later and I weigh a very healthy 200 pounds.

Anywho...the 2008 version of the West Virginia Mountaineers opened camp today in Morgantown. If you're like me, you're as giddy as a schoolgirl. This day has been 8 months in the making, and we're finally hitting the home stretch of the countdown to football season. And once that season starts, the silly distractions of the Product Rodriguez fiasco and "is our baseball coach in the KKK" finally go away. We can finally focus on making opposing defenses look silly and killing our respective livers with booze.

Which is just fine by me.

Can anyone answer this question for me? Considering that we have beat the SEC, ACC and big 12 champs, why are we so hated? I read some of the national articles and it almost seems like we have commited a crime or something. I sent an email to Stewart Mandel but havent recieved an answer yet.

Because the Big East schools sit smack dab in the middle of a hot bed of high school studs.

The Big Ten, SEC and ACC alumni have their marching orders to keep the Big East down as long as possible so they can continue to out recruit the Big East Schools and share in as much BCS and bowl money as possible.

The problem is … ALL of those high school studs watched the Sugar Bowl, the Orange Bowl, and the Fiesta Bowl. The media can try to keep us down all they want, but they can’t cover up the truth.

But it won’t matter anymore. The proof was put on field and televised nationally. The high school kids now all talk to each other … and those crotchedy old Big Ten, SEC and ACC alumni can stick it up their collective ASSES.

The BIG EAST is here, and the BIG EAST is here to stay.
