PrintOooooooooo 'By Godders', I'm back. It is time for me to rant and rave for a hot minute. I can hear it now, the sound of shoes flying through the air with the greatest of ease.
One would think after a great Thanksgiving weekend and a victory over Pitt I would forget my troubles. However, it has been a few weeks since I threw some shoes and a lot has happened in that time frame. The anger has built up and needs to be released before I lose another pair of boat shoes.
Watch out...
#1
Pat Mcafee knows exactly what Kyle Brotzman is going through. Brotzman missed a couple key field goals in Boise's last game and was subsequently threatened and had his property vandalized. The fact that "fans" can go this far is absolutely absurd to me. I would never do this and I get pretty fired up after a WVU loss. Sure, we all want to win, but it is just a football game being played by young lads. If you make it that personal, you need to seriously re-evaluate your life. Those type of fans make Roberto De Niro in the "The Fan" look like a cub scout.
#2
Why do some gas stations slow down the pumps so early when you prepay for gas? I can basically stop the pump at the amount I want and I'm not even a computer. If I pay $20 for gas slow the damn pump down at $19.90 not 19.00. That is an extra 40 seconds of my life that I will never get back. It is cold outside and I don't want to be outside any longer than necessary. I know I could just pay with a card, but I like Slurpee's, so I go inside and pay with cash.
#3
Why in the hell was there a representative from Notre Dame at the TCU press conference? Sure, both universities love God, but they are not a football member of the Big East and this move was obviously a football centric decision. Get them the hell away from anything that involves football because Notre Dame obviously wants no part of football membership. I really despise Notre Dame and will hate them even more if UConn beats USF and we end up in Charlotte again because ND takes our bid to the Champs Sports Bowl. Get in or get out.
#4
I'm not sure if the folks up in South Bend heard this, but God said they should stop living in the past and work out a deal to join the Big East in football. Also, he is a Mountaineer fan get over it.
#5
There are a lot of rumors floating around about the future of our head coaching position. I have heard some very interesting information. However, you need to pay me to hear it. Just send a check to "5th Year Senior, 69 I'm Full of Shit Ave. Lameassery, WV 25301."

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Everywhere you go people look mean and are in a hurry to find the perfect present for their loved ones. People shoot you dirty looks, tap their feet and take extremely deep breaths when you ask a sales associate a couple questions about a new TV. Yet again, the holiday spirit is alive and well in the bah humbuggers!
#7
I really hope Truck and Jennings learned their lesson after the fiasco at practice last week. Huggs isn't hard on you for his health, the man wants to win. Huggs has almost 700 victories under his belt, he knows what it takes to get the job done. Listen to him. Let your play do the talking because we need both you to be successful this season. It appears that they have because at least Truck will be playing tonight against American.

I would like to add.....
What the hell is the deal with Pitt, the bulk of the visitor seats are the last few rows of the upper deck the ENTIRE way aound Ketchup field. If I were WVU I would put the visitor section for them in the last section of the upper deck of the student section…… Eat shit pitt
We give visitors pretty decent seats
I think that should change
Leave no doubt tonight! Leave no doubt tonight! No doubt! They shouldn't of played the Old Gold'n Blue.

#4 Is Awesome....
Question: what iis the population of Lameassery?
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.

See 5YS. I am an inconsiderate asshole and pay with a card then walk into the convenient store just taking my good old time for that Slurpee. Lettem wait.
Charlotte again is going to depress me, die ND. GOOOO Bulls!

Call me selfish
I kinda want us to go to Charlotte only because it will be the only chance in the foreseeable future that I can get to a Mounties game.

Nope
I’m heading to Motown to see my parents after Christmas and the bowl game might be a present. Other bowls are not options based on time and $$

Some chatter
that Notre Dame is coming in FB. Also some chatter on Stanford boards that JimmyHar is coming to WVU, I could see why they would think that, but no.
Stanford has it wrong.
Harbaugh is going to Michigan and RR is coming back to WVU.

I’ll go ahead and clear everything up you read on message boards:
Notre Dame is not joining the BE as a football member.
Jim Harbaugh isn’t coming to WVU; maybe Michigan, but not WVU.
Rich Rod will be fired if Michigan thinks it can get Harbaugh, but Rich Rod is not coming back to WVU.
Rich Rod did not throw the Pitt game.
There is 2% chance Nick Saban comes to WVU. There is a 30% chance his agent called Manchin or Puskar just to see how much money we would offer because that’s what agents do.
There is a 45% chance Stewart resigns or retires after the season, but no one, including Stewart or Luck, know what they’re going to do yet because they really are focused on Rutgers.

I really don't buy any of it either, but
I’m naturally a cynic. I don’t know you from another poster (on a personal level) so I can’t credit or discredit anything anyone says. I don’t know why he would call Manchin, maybe Kendrick? All I said was that is the chatter, and I can see why it’s reasonable (Luck Harbuagh connection) and obvious reasons it would be easy for ND to join with a sweetheart Texas type deal. It’s not impossible, but I don’t believe anything that fantastic, but that’s just my nature.
I like how you got the requisite fan criticism out of the way in #1.
I don’t like Notre Dame either, but unfortunately, they are the only reason the the lousy bowl lineup is even as good as it is.
I remember when I used cash back in the 20th century. How very quaint that you still use it.
I don’t like Christmas or Christmas music.
About #1….
After Brad Cooper missed the extra point and field goals against Cincinnati in 2003, I was walking out of the stadium loudly complaining about Rich Rodriguez’s supposed “offensive wizardry” and how he should be fired. I yelled fire Rich Rod a number of times, probably made some hanging in effigy remarks, and then i distinctly remember saying we should burn a lowercase “t” in his front yard for “time to leave.” i then said, no we should burn a lower case “t” in brad cooper’s lawn for “time to start making kicks,” or at least burn his apartment down.
I then noticed that the people in front of me were wearing authentic brad cooper jersey’s and were giving me frightened/angry glances. i quickly realized it was his parents and younger siblings. I was angry at the guy, but my comments had been tongue and cheek and in jest to my friends, but i’m sure his parents took the comments as threats so i felt really bad.
i mention this to illustrate a couple of points – first, i wanted rodriguez and beilein canned at first, but they both earned my respect and admiration and i now consider them excellent coaches in spite of their records at michigan, and so while it would take alot, bill stewart could change my mind.
second, never say you’re going to burn someone’s apartment down when you’re right behind their family. if you’re going to do it, send a letter written with letters cut out from magazine articles.
Not That You Care, Zip, But Your Posts Above....
…illustrate why you have earned my respect and admiration….acerbic, pointed, funny, honest….
Now is the time boys to make a big noise.
No matter what the people say,

So hail West Virginia, hail.
I’m googling acerbic as we speak. They didn’t make JP a host for nothing.

I can’t even spell acrobatic? Wait, damn it…

I had to go with my schtick right off the bat.
Just wait until next week when I get mad about an empty student section yet again.
When your identity is stolen, I’ll still have Mr. Grant and Bejamin to spend while all your plastic is shredded. Who am I kidding, it is Washington and Lincoln in my pockets.

Just Up Late And Wondering...
…has there ever been an eligibilty question resolved on a Wednesday before a conference title game? Auburn’s situation is just, weird. Apparently Dad ain’t all that ethical, but that is cool with the NCAA since son and school had no knowledge? So, he’s cleared to play, but “the investigation will be ongoing?” So, we’re going to let you play for this title that we may vacate later?
Now is the time boys to make a big noise.

IMO
If there is any question as to his guilt, I’d rather let him play and have to vacate it later than not let him play only to find out he didn’t do anything wrong.

C'mon...
Do you really think he had NO idea what was going on? I guess you have more faith in humanity than I do CR, and I hope you are right. It would be a shame to see all this excitement be for an NC that may be vacated.
