Published on: 26th November, 2009
Whenever I think of the Backyard Brawl, my mind is immediately flooded with memories and emotions. In fact, it was the weekend of the Pitt game when I spoke to my dear mother for the last time. She lapsed into a coma and passed away on Sunday, following the game. I even ...West Virginia-Cincinnati: Lights Out For The Bearcats

My son is attending college at a northern Ohio pharmacy school. In West Virginia’s last two visits to Cincinnati, I would pick up my son and the two of us would go the football game between the Mountaineers and the Bearcats. Every two years, that was our game.

This past weekend, West Virginia and Marshall squared off in the Friends of Coal Bowl. The game pretty much turned out as I expected. The Mountaineers should have won by three touchdowns.

Published on: 30th September, 2009
This Thursday night, West Virginia takes on the Colorado Buffaloes in a nationally-televised game on ESPN. I’m thinking it’s a bad week to be a Buffalo! In the first century of our nation’s history, the Indians worshipped the buffalo. They sang songs about them. They generally only killed them for food and ...West Virginia’s Julian Miller May Be The Key To The Big East Title
Published on: 28th September, 2009
The past few years, the Mountaineers have suffered from an inability to get off the field in crucial third-down situations.

In addition, a number of West Virginia’s opponents’ third-down successes have not necessarily been the result of poor ...Jarrett Brown’s Arm Harms West Virginia

“Do no harm.” Many people mistakenly believe those words are lifted directly from the Hippocratic Oath, an oath taken by many doctors when they enter into medical practice. While these words did not come from Hippocrates, they do, however, have some application to football. In their 41-30 loss to Auburn, West Virginia showed ...Speed Kills Auburn, Thrills West Virginia

You have all heard the saying, “Speed kills!” Well, in the case of John Belushi, Chris Farley, and Princess Diana, truer words were certainly never spoken.
