The Grand Sportsmanship Of The Terrapins Fans
Maryland might not have been particularly competitive in its loss to West Virginia last night, but that's only if look at it as an on-the-field endeavor. Off the field, the Terrapins fans were kicking some ass....

Pam Ward Is Not Listening To Her Producer
We actually don't think Pam Ward is a bad broadcaster — not at all, actually — but this clip, from her broadcast of the Michigan State-UAB game, seems to imply that she might be deaf....

Appalachian State Fans Are Still, Well, Appalachians
We can understand that Appalachian State fans would want to remember their upset victory over Michigan forever, keep it close to them so that, in moments of despair, they can remember that anything is possible, that the world can be a transformative place. (Particularly when Michigan is terrible.) B...

Don't Even THINK Of Ranking Michigan In Your Top 25
Dan Shanoff writes a weekly college football column for Deadspin. Email him to let him know what you think....

Three Days Later, The Upset Still Stuns
As much as we enjoyed the link to all the other Big Ten teams celebrating Michigan's loss, and as happy as we are for Appalachian State — some of whose fans actually saw this coming — we still have to focus on those Michigan fans, who saw their entire season (and perhaps so much more) evaporate in a...

John Denver Would Be So Proud
I post this as a favor to the students and fans of the University of Montana football team. If any of you were out there thinking, "Oh, that's so embarrassing," please allow West Fuckin' Virginia to steal a little bit of your thunder....

Seriously, You Should Be Very Honored, Mountainers
We'd like to congratulate the West Virginia Mountaineers on their NIT championship last night; that's something that can never be taken away from them. In fact, fans can buy the officially licensed T-shirt above. Truly, it's quite an honor....

That Lucky Janitor Saw Something Special
West Virginia isn't likely to hear their name called during this evening's NCAA Selection Show, so to cushion the blow, I thought we could check in with former Mountaineer stars Mike Gansey and Patrick Beilein and see what they're up to these days....

You Know Who'd Make A Great Terrorist? This Guy
The New York Times was slightly bemused by the fact that a large bearded man with a gun was able to walk into Madison Square Garden this week with no security hassle. The Mountaineer, WVU's mascot, cruised into Madison Square Garden with his .45-caliber rifle, no questions asked....

Sure, Coach, I'll Take Some
University of Central Florida basketball head coach has some to give, and he doesn't quite know who to share it with. So he asks. And then, oh, does he give it out....

Why West Virginia Is So Good At Home
Just to make sure we end your day on as lowbrow a point as we can possibly muster, here's the reason UCLA lost to West Virginia on Saturday. This guy. Let this be a lesson for all of you: Do not come into this guy's house and expect to escape alive....

West Virginia Is More Tolerant Than You Think
Not only do the West Virginia Mountaineers have a male baton twirler, they have a bad-ass male baton twirler. Meet Donovan Sarr, introduced to us by this WVU press release touting their evidently awesome baton twirling squad....

Meow Meow Meow Meow
Every Day Should Be Saturday, whose daily brilliance might be what we'll miss most about college football once it's gone, directs us to this clip from last night's West Virginia-Pittsburgh game, in which quarterback Pat White does his best impersonation of Halle Berry in Catwoman. It's one thing to ...

Suddenly, Louisville Football Is Important
It's rare in something as storied as college football that you have a moment that is obviously the most important moment in a school's football history, but that's what happened in Louisville last night, with the Cardinals beating West Virginia 44-34 and putting them on a track to play in the Fies...

Look, An Important Weekday College Football Game!
We don't often get to write about important college football games here — that's usually MJD's job on the weekends — but we have a rare one tonight: A Thursday game between two undefeated teams that could very well decide who plays in the Fiesta Bowl for the BCS "Championship" on January 8. (January...

Four Tiny Tidbits On: The Big East
We must confess that we can't wait each year for the crunch of shoulder pads; for cleats churning up chunks of turf and red-faced coaches screaming from the sidelines. But enough about lacrosse. College football season is upon us, and to celebrate, we're going to get back into tiny tidbit mode and...

Live Report From The Atlanta Regional
William Hocutt, whom you've read about in these parts before, was in Atlanta for both the Duke-LSU and West Virginia-Texas games last night, and, even though he's a Duke fan, he pulled himself together to file a report from the scene for us....

West Virginia Mountaineers
1. They Have Horny Wives. Heather Pittsnogle, wife of handsome Kevin, has been spotted at games and on campus wearing a t-shirt that says, "I Got Pittsnogled" and features an arrow pointing downwards at her girl genitals. Beat that, Jackie Christie....
