This should get interesting my friends. After a loss I get pretty riled up and this was a tough loss to swallow. Not that I would know anything about swallowing.
I could complain all day about the blocked field goals or the fact that ESPN delayed televising our game. I mean good lord, not only are Big East teams screwing up our strength of schedule, but they are also keeping us from watching our Mountaineers.
Anyway, it was a busy weekend and I'm pretty angry....
#1
LSU not only beat WVU on the scoreboard Saturday night. They also beat them in swagger and intensity. From the opening kickoff, LSU players were jumping around and strutting after big plays. I know this is generally superfluous anger but it couldn't hurt to strut and show a little more emotion on the field. I know I wouldn't mind seeing Devine strike a pose after scoring a long touchdown. Actually, I would just like to see Devine score a long touchdown.

HCBS was pretty damn angry during his post-game press conference. I don't know if Hickman and Dunlap ate the last cookie at the Puskar last week or what, but HCBS was not happy with their questions. Both reporters questions were legitimate and touched on key points in the game. HCBS, however, gave both of them the Heisman and moved on to what he felt were more appropriate questions.
Lord knows I'm not the voice of reason, but you cannot handle yourself in that manner during a post-game press conference. There is a fine line between Bob Knight and his normal Uncle Cuddlebutt routine and HCBS did his best Bob Knight impression Saturday night.

I know Chuck Landon reads this site and loves it when we mention him. Because he covers Marshall, writes stories that are 99% untrue and has a lot of pent up frustration at WVU's dominance, I figured I would mention Mr. Landon and make him smile two days in a row.

As you've probably guessed, I have a bit of road rage at times. The two things I hate the most happened within the span of 2 minutes on Sunday. First, I let someone out and he didn't wave. Is it that hard to say thank you? Then I drove down the street and wanted to pull into a parking lot but some idiot in a Lexus was in a hurry to stop at a red light. In doing that, he blocked the entry to the parking lot. Guess what? You're an asshole. SIGH

Why does everyone keep talking about how the Big East's terrible non-conference performance? Sure, we are 0-5 against Top 25 teams and 1-10 against other BCS teams, but who cares. Maybe if we just keep our mouths shut, nobody else will notice. You know, it is just like when you get caught at a club with another girl by your girlfriends sorority sisters, just keep your mouth shut and nobody finds out. Oh no, we're totally screwed...

Chuck Landon?
What? Chuck Landon is still alive? He must be smiling.
Read Eye And Eer. From the burning couches of Morgantown to the overt public intoxication of Columbus, fall Saturdays have a special meaning for the 'Eye and the 'Eer — and not just for our two favorite teams. If it involves college football, we'll blog about it with our own somewhat reasonable, somewhat rational take.
WVU Rankings are over
I have followed WVU football since the days of Don Nehlen and I have never seen a single team that was miss-managed until now. Bill Stewart was handed a winning team when Rich Rodguiz left. Those players have moved on.
The head coach, like the captain of a ship, is responsible for everything that happens on a team. I have watched very closely as bad decisions are made as far as play calling goes. I have seen the defense be non existent at times and barely adequate at other times.
When will Bill realize that he has to know the limitations of his team and come up with game plans that work towards their strengths. His philosophy may be great but you can’t stick to it if you don’t have the players for it. A square peg will not fit in a round hole. This is the golden rule that both Don and Rich understood. Calling plays that go up the middle against a strong defensive team is suicide. The Mountaineers have speed and agility and should be bouncing outside or slashing through defenses and not running head on into the teeth of the beast. The offensive coach made a mistake…..the defensive coach didn’t guess right….don’t these people work directly for Bill? Or did Bill make the calls him self?.
Bill Stewart is not ever going to be the same caliber coach as Don or Rich. Until he learns who to recruit and how to use the people he does recruit WVU will not be a top 25 team again. The WVU fans are accustomed to well coached teams and are in for a big let down. The athletic department needs to get Bill some help or maybe even search for someone that knows the golden rule.
You May Be Right....
…but “up the middle” is a little broad. Don’t you think a Nehlen-era draw against LSU’s aggressive D-line might have been effective?
I am currently involved in a lawsuit, and spent all day today in the anteroom of a court for a mediation. A very, very sharp attorney, a Notre Dame grad and fan, came up to me and said he had caught the Sportsline show from the other night and said: “Your coach just sounds like he doesn’t know what he is talking about.” Now, I didn’t hear the Sportsline show, but I was bothered by this man I respect just saying that out of the blue…
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.
Damn, Fifth....
Did somebody steal your login and password? I know we’re all frustrated after a loss, but you don’t sound like yourself?
