One of my buddies from here in Philly went to WVU ’92…worked at U92 radio. I’ll be pulling for the Mountaineers today, though I doubt they need *my* help.
Plus his brother went to Mizzou…they treked out to the bowl game matchup a few years back. I think this season’s ticket might be a bit harder to get!
And my dad lived up the way in St. Clairsville OH for a while. Locals there were OSU fans, but it was close to Wheeling, so some WVU fans around also.
I only ever made it down to Morgantown once–for a homecoming game in ’91, I’d guess. My wife and I didn’t go to a football school (Go Jaspers!) so that was really our first big time college football experience. The Mountaineers ever since have been my adopted team.
Go NAVY!!! I’m with you on the Mountaineers, though.

You KNOW your football program sucks when it can only score 3 points against Navy. Prior to today, the Midshipmen D had given up 435 points, almost 40 per game. Everyone this season had scored a minimum of 19 points against them.

Yeah, the football program isn’t very successful, but they are some damn fine young men. They’ll have a true test of skill and courage soon enough. Football is a game. Being a soldier isn’t.
Wow, John, are classes on flopping and acting part of the football curriculum at WVU. What a crappy call. That lineman deserves a cheap shot in the balls at some point.

Jesus, MSU had an easier time with Pitt! What’s up with the ‘Eers in the 1st half?
Maybe they need a diving call like hockey; then the penalties will offset, and being dead ball, you won’t even have to replay the down. (Diving is technically unsportsmanlike conduct, which could always be used, or delay of game in a dead ball situation.)
And right now, Missouri is losing to Oklahoma. If Mizzou does lose, the entire BS, oh excuse me BCS, system gets screwed over. We’re gonna have an unimpressive Ohio State (?!?!) against… um… USC? LSU? Georgia? Hawaii? Hell, let’s bring South Florida back into the discussion…
I swear to Dog. Playoff system. There is no substitute.

Have fun tonight!

A new day has dawned in Florida football. Fear the FAU Mighty Burrow Owls!

Hey, Incertus! Watch your mouth!
FDDD and I both taught at FAU!
lutton
wide left?!?
Not too concerned…the UConn game started a lot tighter than it ended, too.
lutton
um, wide right…?
I figured by now I’d be able to switch over to the Mizzou game.
Curse of #2?
Justin Slotman
Yeah, this game is 0-0 with 5 minutes left in the second. Nervous times if you’re an Eers fan.
And now Pat White is hurt.

I teach there now, as do all of my co-bloggers. And strangely enough, we all like it too. :)

Also, I’ve gotta point out that the Grand Valley State University Lakers won their 40th straight game in D-II. They’re two wins away from their third straight National Championship

Yes, but a great flop. …and the Oscar goes to…

Weird…my buddy is Andy K too. But being born again, I doubt he’d start his post ‘Jesus.’

Man the Steelers are really causing problems…
Andy K
Well, if my grandmother had her way, I wouldn’t start it that way, either. But I do, so she says a lot of novenas fer the sake of my soul.

How the hell do you get beat by Dave Freakin’ Wannstedt when it really matters?

Oh, my… duck the head and walk around here softly the next few days!

Fuck all of you.

Hey, John, it could be worse. You could work at UW — the Team that Lost to WSU This Year.
Oh, wait…Pitt’s record was worse than WSU’s, wasn’t it.
Never mind.

Not me. I root for Army.
Boo Navy.
