Mountaineer Football

2010 WVU Football Schedule

First, WVUIE gave us another great Hump Day. Then WVU released its 2010 football schedule.  Good lord, this has been a hard day for me.

Sat - September 4 Coastal Carolina (Home) -- I wonder how much it would cost to truck in sand in order to have a beach themed tailgate?

Sat - September 11 Marshall (Away) -- We should never have to play the Herd in Huntington. I guess some WVU fans will be forced to buy Marshall season tickets again.  I mean, someone has to, considering Herd fans don't.

Sat - September 18 Maryland (Home) -- I'm glad Maryland is back on our schedule. While I do not consider Maryland a "rival," this border battle always produces a great atmosphere and game at Mountaineer Field.

Sat - September 25 LSU (Away) -- This is another series I absolutely love.  While we give Pastilong and company a lot of grief, they have scheduled some great non-conference opponents in recent years.  I have my poncho ready for the piss balloons that are sure to be thrown at me on my trip to Baton Rouge.

Sat - October 2 Bye -- Always a scary match-up.

WVU vs. FSU: Grades And Recap

What the hell did we do to 2009 to deserve this start to 2010?

I am still recovering from WVU’s New Year’s Day suckfest. It sucked more than an Alpha Phi after a date party, minus the herpes.

Not only was I forced to watch the game in Shittsburgh because of a friend's wedding but I also had to hear and smell a homeless person talk shit about West Virginia. Friday, was the closest I have ever come, to killing a bum on purpose. That marks eleven trips to Pittsburgh for WVU sporting events and zero positive experiences.

For the most part, we sucked. There were, however, some bright spots, despite some fans continued extreme negativity. Grades after the jump...

Poll Of The Decade's Best: Cornerback

Even though MSNSportsnet is copying our idea of an All-Decade Team, we are going to continue to give you, the Mountaineer fans, the choice of your own, All-Decade Team.

Screw the mainstream media, with their proper use of punctuation and spelling, trying to put us out of business.  They can copy us all they want but we will continue to bring you the most irreverent and opinionated version of Mountaineer news on a daily basis.  [Ed. note: Unless we have something more important to do, i.e. hot women]

Sorry, I was channeling my inner Glen Beck. Back to our daily poll.

Today we are voting on cornerback. We have some good, some bad but luckily no Perlo Bastien's.  We had players that led the league in pool cue shots to the face, stolen laptops and others that were white but good. Who will you vote for?

Remember, after you vote, support your opinion in the comment section.

Poll
Who was WVU's best cornerback of the last ten years?
Lance Frazier

Brian King

Poll Of The Decade's Best: Quarterback

Yes, we are being serious with this vote.  Just because all of us at The Smoking Musket think Derek Jones was the best, does not mean everyone will agree with us.  Cast your vote and don't be an asshole.

Remember, after you vote, discuss your selection in the comment section.

Poll Of The Decade's Best: Linebacker

Running the 3-3-5 defense requires your linebackers to be both smart and quick.  While these guys may not have always got "quick" right, they had a ton of football smarts. 

This group made plays in the secondary and behind the line of scrimmage. They were the backbone of the defense and were responsible for some of very memorable plays.

Remember, after you vote, share your thoughts in the comment section.

Note: Today was scheduled to be WRs but in light of the Chris Heny tragedy, I felt we should hold off.  My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of Chris Henry. Once a Mountaineer, Always a Mountaineer!
