DickRod: MY MAN! 3_3_5_lover: See you suckers later. Casteel OUT. ***3_3_5_lover and DickRod have left the chat*** bombs_away_suckas: WHO WERE THOSE GUYS?

And most importantly... 4) Any time WVU puts 70 points on the board in a BCS Bowl game in the same week the basketball team beats a top-10-ranked Big East team, you need to write an article for... http://www.wemustignitethiscouch.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=3330 2011-12-06T11:40:59-05:00 Jude By Dusty In its last season in the Big East (whether league meatball John Marinatto wants to admit it or not), West Virginia will represent the Big East in the BCS for the third time in the last seven years. Despite not looking anything like a BCS team for large portions of the season, WVU (9-3, 5-2 Big East) survived considerable odds to earn a three-way share of the league title. After losing to Syracuse and Louisville in regular-season play, the Mountaineers had give... http://www.wemustignitethiscouch.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=3329 2011-11-29T07:41:47-05:00 Jude By Dusty Two games remain that will decide West Virginia's postseason football fate, over only one of which the Mountaineers can actually exercise any control. After rallying to hold off Pittsburgh Friday night, 21-20, in what will likely be the last Backyard Brawl for at least a couple of years, No. 20 WVU moved back into the polls and moved closer to a potential BCS bowl berth that accompanies a Big East championship. It was West Virginia's third straight v... http://www.wemustignitethiscouch.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=3328 2011-11-28T14:22:50-05:00 Jude There's a new football coach in Morgantown since the last WVU Basketball Season Preview article, but losses to Syracuse and Louisville make it necessary to run the same intro to the 2011-2012 WVU Basketball Season Preview that has appeared for four straight years now: Quote:This year, my eager anticipation for WVU basketball is at an all-time high, almost certainly brought about by the repugnant stench coming from the other end of Patteson Drive. In fact, my most c... http://www.wemustignitethiscouch.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=3327 2011-11-14T21:10:40-05:00 Jude By Dusty 'Country Roads' is better than 'Catch the Dub' any day. The latter song had been the tune of choice for Cincinnati's Bearcats after each of their six straight victories. But West Virginia made sure its more established, though unofficial, anthem was queued up after the Mountaineers blocked their first field goal since 2004 to secure a 24-21 road win Saturday. The win, West Virginia's first over a ranked team on the road since 2007,... http://www.wemustignitethiscouch.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=3326 2011-11-07T11:44:41-05:00 Jude By Dusty Given West Virginia's laundry list of successes on offense Saturday, it makes the team's shorter - but uglier -- list of screw-ups that much more maddening. On paper, the Mountaineers should have won in a landslide against Louisville, after winning the yardage battle by 182 yards (533 yards vs. 351), gaining 28 first downs and an average of 6.8 yards per play. But all the positives were bogged down by the negatives for the Gold and Blue, which lost tw... http://www.wemustignitethiscouch.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=3325 2011-11-03T08:44:26-05:00 Jude By Dusty West Virginia won its first head-to-head battle with Louisville in a Big (12) way, but the fallout from that decision is threatening to overshadow Saturday's game against the Cardinals actually ON the field. With the Big 12 choosing WVU over the Cardinals as the league's 10th (or possibly 11th member, should Missouri continue to drag its heels about a move to the SEC), it should add some extra juice to what is already an interesting matchup that will h... http://www.wemustignitethiscouch.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=3324 2011-10-25T11:26:48-05:00 Jude By Dusty Can we just schedule the rest of West Virginia's games for an afternoon slot on the Big East network or ESPN3.com? It seems that's the best environment for the Mountaineers, who have thrived with second-half comebacks to win 5 of their first 6 games against lesser opponents outside of the national spotlight (LSU being the obvious exception.) But put the bright lights on this crew - like, say, a Friday night ESPN showcase that doesn't have to compe... http://www.wemustignitethiscouch.com/modules/weblog/details.php?blog_id=3323 2011-10-10T15:43:47-05:00 Jude By Dusty West Virginia’s bye week should go a little smoother than it did last year. Behind 541 yards of total offense and a game-changing play from the defense, the Mountaineers won their Big East opener going away, pounding Connecticut 43-16 Saturday in Morgantown. The victory propelled West Virginia up the polls, moving to No. 13 in the AP list and No. 16 in the USA Today poll. In the victory, WVU eclipsed the 30-point barrier for the fifth time in six games, avera...
