I get really mad way to often over things that should not make me mad. In fact, I will probably have a heart attack before I reach 40 because I get so fired up. To help me have a relaxing weekend I'm going to use this as a steam release.
If there is anything that has pissed you off recently let loose and see if anyone else feels the same or if you are just a crazy person. Here we go...
Shoe 1
How in the hell can our Mountainette have so much trouble with the gun. While I did not notice this, I was told she missed the musket shot on two of our touchdowns Thursday night. I hope this is the only thing in her life that she has trouble getting off.
I guess I should not be too critical though. At least she has not shot herself in the face yet.
Shoe 2
I hope our cornerbacks were taught how to play defense while the ball is in the air this week. Over the last few games, we have seen them screw up in every way possible. Sometimes they fail to turn around and the ball is thrown over their shoulder. Other times they simply stand in awe of the receiver jumping for the pass. Nobody can forget that they also play 10 yards off the reciever to allow 5 yard outs all day long.I don't know if Pat Miller is the answer but give the kid a chance to make some plays on D.
Shoe 3
Is anyone else tired of the Tebow updates every 15 seconds on ESPN. "Tebow has come of the locker-room with pads on today." "He is running across the field at a brisk pace." "He has turned water into Gatorade and still had time to heal three linebackers of chlamydia from last Saturday nights trip around the Tri-Delt house.."
Shoe 4
Am I the only one that loved HCBS outfit on Thursday night? Sure, he looked a little like Jim Tressel but at least you could not tell his pants were pulled up a little too high. I hope he keeps dressing up on the sidelines. Heck, I would like to see him in a suit one of these games
Shoe 5
To all the people that are thinking about calling the HCBS Statewide Sportsline, don't be idiots. Please, for the love of god, don't give him advice about how you would teach the players to carry the football. Keep telling Little Johnny to keep it high and tight because nobody cares what you have to say.
Over/Under for callers giving HCBS advice on fumbles is 3. I'll take the over, unless Goldcard Bill gets on and talks for 30 minutes again.

Check out principal Stewart in this picture.

The man loves doing the Mary Catherine Gallagher.
I think I may call the Sportsline and ask if Bill Stewart remembers meeting me in the cereal isle at the grocery store 5 years ago. And press him when he hems and haws, that I was the one with a green shirt on.
I stand corrected...
his pants are at the right level in that picture.

SWSL
Gawd… I worked in production for MetroNews and MSN years ago. Gold Card Bill was always that special kind of highlight for every show. Like preparing ones business for the arrival of the short bus visitation period.

Sure he is a nice guy but...
he needs to just ask a question and hang up like the rest of the callers.
One more thing.
Why does everyone feel the need to ask how HCBS and Caridi are doing tonight? Did you not just hear the previous caller ask the same damn question. They are going to say “Good” no mater what. If they answered honestly they would say “I was great until we had that last idiot call in.”

My personal favorite is the obsession with Wes Lyons by the callers. You can’t go a show without asking why we don’t throw a fade to the guy or why he hasn’t been playing.
The kids a senior, he’s never done anything noteworthy in his life except grow.

Finally
Thank you, finally someone agrees with me. Wes Lyons is a bigger disappointment than Jason Gwaltney and that’s saying a lot. He’s prolly sucked up hundreds of thousands of dollars in medical bills from our football program from getting hurt while flipping pages in the playbook that he doesn’t understand. What a waste.
I've already thrown all of shoes....
BECAUSE WE HAVE A FEMALE MOUNTAINEER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hope she does shoot herself in the face, then we could get someone who can grow a freakin beard!!!
Ehhhh
While I don’t particularly like the Mountaineer being female. It does not totally piss me off that much. What makes me mad is the way she got the position. The previous dude was doing a good job and the fact that she was female helped her out a lot. Just look at who was voting…
I personally do not think the Mountaineer needs to grow a beard. The Mountaineer in front of the Mountainlair does not have a beard.

The statue
doesn’t have a beard because Jerry West didn’t have a beard.
It was made in his likeness.

I know that...
and your point is what?
by 5th Year Senior on Oct 8, 2009 10:10 AM EDT up reply actions
That your point doesn’t exactly make sense. We don’t pick mascots based on how much they look like mr clutch, so what does the statue have to do with our live mascot?
They are obviously and intentionally different.
Tradition has largely dictated a bearded mascot. For some reason the statue was made to look like a specific athlete. So why should it be used as any sort of model for what our mascot looks like now when that has never been the case in the past?
by Beamer'sGoiter on Oct 8, 2009 10:20 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
Tradition??
Historically the mascot did not have a beard. The trend over the last 20 years has been for the Mountaineer to have a beard.
This Mountaineer and many during his time did not have beards.
by 5th Year Senior on Oct 8, 2009 10:53 AM EDT up reply actions
Well that 20 years has covered all but 4 years of my life so that’s all I have known.
Change that to recent/modern tradition. An era that also includes our now non-hideous logo, colors, and uniforms (contrary to what I have seen of all previous forms), as well as a winning tradition geater than any previous era. It seems many traditions have been set in the past 20-30 years. I don’t see why this one has to be different although t certainly has the right to be.
Even so, your statue logic is still flawed.
by Beamer'sGoiter on Oct 8, 2009 11:05 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
How is my logic flawed?
I understand we don’t pick the mascot based on how much they look like “The Logo.” My point is that the mascot does not absolutely have to grow a beard.
It is supported by history and the fact that every representation of our Mountaineer mascot does not have a beard. I don’t see how that is “flawed.”
Just because some guy grew a beard in 1982 does not mean every Mountaineer after him is required to have a beard. I wish Fincham would’ve shaved rather than having patchy creeker facial hair a couple years back.
by 5th Year Senior on Oct 8, 2009 11:15 AM EDT up reply actions
That logic is not. However your original reasoning only referenced the statue.
The rest of what you just said is what I was looking for. Thank you for that. The statue reference was inadequate.
I prefer the beard because it’s what I’ve seen in my life and has been celebrated in association with the overall image of the mountaineer in ways – for example (although a small and rather insignificant one) the beard growing contest during mountaineer week. It’s at the very least a trend and one that I support.
by Beamer'sGoiter on Oct 8, 2009 11:30 AM EDT via mobile up reply actions
I would rather that our Mountaineer have a bear but I do not think it is required.

Mountainette
I say if we are going to have a female Mountaineer than lets dress her up like Daisy Duke fro cryin out loud.

Agreed
The female Mountaineer is kind of an irrelevant issue…..kind of like the WVU football program.
Let’s roll out the carpet and “Bring on the Mountaineers”!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You couldn't leave a comment..
without taking a shot at the football team.
by 5th Year Senior on Oct 8, 2009 8:35 AM EDT up reply actions
Actually,
NOT taking shot at the team….simply that they are no longer talked about, highlights aren’t on ESPN, less telecasts, etc.
Don’t let your emotional attachment to the team (which is well earned as you are a WVU grad, I believe) dictate whether or not a team is relevant or irrelevant….
I’m not saying that we suck…..that would be an opinion.
I’m saying we’re irrelevant from a national viewpoint….which is fact and not really debatable.
You are taking a shot
You are ignoring the team and ready for basketball.
Sure the national media may not be warmed up to us yet but win a few more games and they will be forced to start talking about us again. Winning will make people take notice.
The sad thing is that they are irrelevant in your life because ESPN is not talking about them. They should be relevant because of your love for the school. You read all the papers in the state, so you should know what is going on within the program without watching ESPN.

And Another Thing...
What really pisses me off is the fact that apparently some Mountaineer “fans” don’t know who Marvin Graves is, don’t recognize him as the anti-Christ, or worse, have forgiven him. I will hound him the rest of his days! Remember Orr!!
Marvin Graves Sucks!
Even though Syracuse has sucked out loud for the past few years, all mountaineer fans should still want to destroy them bcause of that piece of shit.
The graves game
or, more accurately, travesty, is one of my earliest memories of experiencing WVU football in person.
We had horrible seats – I think the top row upper deck on the press box side. The wind was cold and we were in the shade the whole game even though overall it wasn’t a very cold day.
I remember the benches clearing and absolutely everyone in the stadium being so incredibly pissed about what happened and that it ultimately cost us the game. I was too young to understand everything that happened but I remember certain things about that day vividly. Much more than any other game I went to while that young.

Marvin Graves puts me in a bad mood.
That was the first time I ever heard my dad speak a complete sentence of nothing but curse words.
My family had really good seats on the vistors side because my mom was a member of the House of Delegates at the time. When that fight started my grandpa started to run down the aisle like he was going to jump from the stands and cross body block Marvin Graves. He was going bat shit crazy.

That's awesome
He should’ve gone after graves. I bet he could’ve taken that epic douche of a bastard.

My most vivid memory of Mountaineer Field
was in ’88……31-9…….(one side of stadium) “We Want” (other side) “Notre Dame” for the entire end of the game….The atmosphere was electric, the intensity palpable….
WVU would have won that game if Major wouldn’t have got hurt. I firmly believe that as strongly as the Steelers should have beat the Cowboys in Super Bowl XXX save Neil O’Donnell bonehead interceptions…..
That was the first time I ever shed a tear over a Mountaineer sporting event.
I was only a kid but it meant so much to me because I saw how much it meant to my dad and grandpa. They were going crazy and I was standing there almost crying because I was so happy.
The woman beside us thought I was hurt but I gave her a high/low five and started cheering.
That was when I knew, that hardly anything would mean more to me than Mountaineer football. Is it sad? Maybe, but I love Mountaineer football.
by 5th Year Senior on Oct 8, 2009 11:02 AM EDT up reply actions
Wow
Columbus, you and I agree on something. I too also believe that if Major doesn’t go down, WVU wins that game. Also, I hate the name Neil O’Donnell. Those picks where terrible. Man that brings back bad memories. Then to top it all off, I had a final the next morning ( where I went they had a J-term). The professor would not change it because the Steelers were in the Super Bowl. She said we could study all weekend prior to the game.
Actually, I agree with your comments on the post above in regards to the comments about the kids and the woman mountaineer.
My kids could care less right now if it was a male or female. They just want to see them shoot the musket after scores.

I love Neil O'Donnell.
That SB was just pay back for Jackie Smith dropping that easy touchdown against the Steelers in Super Bowl XIII.

I’m a Romosexual but I may be changing my tune soon if he keeps over/under throwing every pass.
by 5th Year Senior on Oct 8, 2009 11:48 AM EDT up reply actions
I'd be more concerned that
he’s a consummate choke artist.
But with your sexual orientation, you’re probably well aware of that already.
