I’ve had three beers and I am not ashamed to admit that I cried for a good long time after WVU won!

Congrats guys,

you have done our conference proud. The “BIG EAST” chance at the end was a nice touch.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

You’ll be happy to know that “WEST VIRGINIA” is spelled correctly on the regional c’ship T-shirts.

I watched this game on Bourbon Street in New Orleans tonight, and I sang Country Roads at the top of my lungs with a few other brave souls after this win. Then, I shed a few tears, called my three year old and explained what happened, told my wife to burn a couch for me, and took about 38 phone calls regarding the game.
Wow. That’s all I can say. Wow.
Let’s GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!

Jacobs and Huggs comments after the game brought a tear to my eye.

Cat fan here...

Congrats WV. You all beat a real good team, gotta give credit to Hugs. Nice job, and if you see Duke and UT beat the crap out them for us!

Go Cats!

Thank you

It was a real good game. I hope we beat the crap out of Duke too. I don’t know that Tennessee will get past Michigan State. I try not to bet against Tom Izzo.

How Sweet It Is...

…first time since 1959. This is a special moment. Way to kick Kentucky’s ass.

Congratulations

I’m a UK fan, I just wanted to stop by and say y’all shot really well today and that was some gutty play by the Mountaineers. You deserved a #1 seed and I wish now that you had gotten it (on the other side of the bracket too)!

I have a Final 4 ticket available, I don’t want to “spam” you board so email me (teh.peabody@gmail.com) if you want to know more about it. Good luck!

2 MORE!!!

No tears here yet! My cup runneth over with PRIDE! That was amazing and one of the best Mountaineer moments ever! I am so happy for our team and our coach. I love how they always say they did this for us (the state of WV). Kentucky was a great opponent. Now we have to wake up tomorrow and focus again on what is ahead! LET’S GO MOUTAINEERS!

To Quote The Authors....

HOLY SHIT, WE’RE GOOD….

…I am thrilled to be sharing these times with my two sons, who are nine and six years old. Both of them were confused when I teared up last night.

Two more. Let’s Go…

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.

shooting for kentucky……0-15 to start with the long ball, i would have to say thats as bad as it gets its not the west virginia just out beat them it was kentucky beating them selfs…..if u look if they would have made atleast half of them shots kentucky would have had it their way but didnt happen tha way. They are a young team and the thought of final four is probably what did it! ROOKIE TERRORS

WVU

has the best defense BY FAR in the nation. We are long, physical and extremely talented. UK had quite a few open looks beyond the arc, but they were mostly after it was established that they were cold shooting last night. The initial 3 point shots by UK were contested furiously by the more aggressive and longer WVU team.

by WVUColumbus on Mar 28, 2010 5:10 PM EDT up reply actions  

Awesome game

I’d LOVE to hear from the UK fan who said Mississippi St was tougher than WVU, and the Big East is overrated.

Have fun discussing it on the couch with Wall, Cousins, and Cal. GO NEERS!!!!

You are most gracious

Thank you for the congratulations. It means a lot coming from such a worthy opponent. It was a hard-fought contest, and your team had me on the egde of my seat for most of it.
