Maybe they'll resurrect their pep band for this game.

I was shocked to hear that Tony Bennett was their coach. I knew he was a great singer, but not a BB Coach...  |

He's like 96 years old. They will be shooting granny shots at the foul line.

I am more excited about this basketball game than I have been about any football game all year.

I'm doing what I can to alter my plans for this game tonight, but I've got a football team chasing perfection and a legit shot at a Super Bowl trophy. Until that ends any TV conflicts err on the side of the professionals. That doesn't impact tonight, but I guess I'm saying I'm not a TrueFan this season until my playoffs end. Not that anyone else cares.

And I agree. It's been a while since I have been this excited. We could win this game. It's actually a battle of styles. They will try to slow us down. We won't.
I am actually also glad that Brandon is playing again. We might need him.
I just hope that the guys who can occasionally shoot choose tonight. If we can make a few outside shots, they are fucked. If not, we might be.

PS. I don't think my granny ever met Rick. Was he a coal miner in Longacre or somewhere? I knew he played basketballs.

This is when I hate the filter. I can't figure it out easily so I don't. Wish we could create a tiny url for these.

Just delete the filtered parts and it works a lot of the time.

After a brutal four-game stretch that featured losses to Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Baylor and TCU — three of those games on the road — West Virginia appeared to right the ship a bit with wins over Texas Tech, Texas, Kansas and Iowa State. Sure, there’s only one bowl team among that last set of four, but four straight wins are four straight wins.
And then came Saturday’s regular season finale at Kansas State, when the favored Mountaineers squandered a 13-3 halftime lead — against a team with a wide receiver playing quarterback — in a 24-23 loss that was sealed when, instead of giving the ball to Wendell Smallwood (141 rushing yards), quarterback Skyler Howard was stuffed on fourth and two with 2 minutes 33 seconds left.
Thus, Coach Dana Holgorsen is again on the hot seat, according to the Charleston Gazette-Mail’s Mitch Vingle:
Now, though, there’s a decision to be made: fire Holgorsen or retain the coach.
As of Monday evening, the decision had not been made. All of the principals — [school Trump E. Gordon Gee, Athletic Director Shane Lyons] and Holgorsen — were in New York. The WVU basketball team is playing a high-profile game tonight at Madison Square Garden against Virginia. There are Big 12 meetings going on. There are College Football Hall of Fame ceremonies going on. Lyons is a speaker at a sports business clinic.
When reached Monday, Lyons said he had no comment on Holgorsen’s status. Reliable sources, however, have said the athletic director and coach have talked about the situation a couple times. Those discussions will continue in the coming days.
One sticking point might be the cost of firing Holgorsen and hiring a new coach: around $15 million. About $8.725 million would go toward buying out Holgorsen and his staff, an amount that will decrease some after the first of the year. It might be worth it for Lyons to wait until after the Mountaineers’ Jan. 2 Cactus Bowl game against Arizona State to make a move, especially considering the coaching carousel has passed West Virginia by anyway.
But there also are recruiting considerations, as West Virginia’s incoming class probably would like to know if the coach they agreed to play for will be around next season. Throw in a fan base dissatisfied with a 25-25 record over the past four seasons, and it’s a tricky situation, indeed.

I think I mostly refuse to click on things like that. Can't trust 'em.

It's OK, most of the time on here it's not going to be goat porn. Most of the time.
I'm disappointed there's no Youtube of the Tire Bowl halftime show.

I listened to the first half on the radio then started to listen to the 2nd half but I realized we would probably lose and didn't want a repeat of the K-State game so I turned it off. I'm really happy with my decision.
Being a barely interested fan is much better than a die hard. Thanks for showing me the light, Matt.

I watched the first half and then went to bed. I was disappointed when I checked the score this morning....did not read any stories about it.. Instead I downloaded "Goat Simulator" onto my Galaxy s6 and I believe it was a much better choice.
