No Brainer

You shouldn’t even have listed anyone but Owen. He is in a class all by himself. THE most exciting fullback ever.

Owen deserves retribution

The name and address of any numbnut that didn’t vote for Schmitt should be immediately sent to Owen directly for him to “deal with” as he sees fit

Here about Pastilong Wants To Stay

West Virginia University’s Athletic Director says he wants to stay for a little while longer.

“The competition and the desire to make your particular organization the best that it possibly can be and to be competitive nationally is just in your blood and WVU, right now, it’s Athletic Department is a Top 20 Athletic Department,” Ed Pastilong said on Tuesday’s MetroNews Talkline.

That’s why Pastilong says he plans to talk to new WVU President Jim Clements in the New Year about the possibility of staying on for another year or two.

For sentiment or ability?

I LOVED Wes Ours, he was a bright spot on some very mediocre teams…BUT hands down Owen Schmitt was the best fullback of the decade

hands down

owen. great athlete and the crucial member of the holy white/slaton/schmitt trinity. plus, a wonderful backstory.

wes deserves special mention, though, for his play in giving don nehlen that great music city bowl send-off.

No Doubt About It...

Owen Scmitt…but I was glad you remembered Ours…I still recall fondly his “flying” TD vs. Ole Miss in Nehlen’s last game.

Now is the time boys to make a big noise.
No matter what the people say,
For there is naught to fear, the gang's all here,
So hail West Virginia, hail.

Jasper Howard had his little sisters' names tatooed on his chest. His friends say it was a constant reminder of why he was at U Conn _ to provide his family with a better life than the one he had in Miami's Little Haiti. (AP Photo/Mel Evans, File) link
