Duke Takes One Last Flop For The Road
Watch as Duke's Gerald Henderson runs over to clobber the Mountaineers' Cam Thoroughman from behind. Thoroughman (6-foot-7, 215) doesn't take to that too well, and ... whoa! Did you see that, ref? Air shove!...

Virginia Tech Hokies
1. Nobody saw this coming. The Hokies came into this season having lost All-ACC guards Zabian Dowdell and Jamon Gordon in addition to their only real capable low post offensive threat, Coleman Collins. Those three were the heart and soul of a Hokies team that went 22-12 overall and 10-6 in the ACC, ...
West Virginia Mountaineers
1. Next Year, Buy Us Presents. West Virginia has played 99 illustrious years of basketball, compiling an impressive 61.4 percent winning percentage and a trip to the 1959 NCAA title game. WVU hasn't been as lucky with several opponents, however, owning overall losing records against Steubenville Ath...
Virginia Commonwealth Rams
1. The Straw(s) That Stir(s) The Drink. Everyone learned in short order who Eric Maynor was last year when he took over the CAA championship game against George Mason, hit the jump shot with 1.8 seconds left to beat Duke in the opening round of NCAA tournament and then led a 19-point comeback in the...
West Virginia Turns To The Youngins
In its ongoing search for Rich Rodriguez's successor as head football coach, West Virginia is extending the scope to include its intellectual superiors: 12-year-olds, dude. Yes, wee Joshua Irizarry - of the Connecticut Irizarrys - sent an application and the school took him semi-kinda-jokingly-serio...

Help The Nailers Shred Rich Rodriguez

Careful That Your New Coach Didn't Once Call A Player A Racial Slur
Lots of chatter today about new West Virginia coach Bill Stewart, who's the top dog over there now that he pulled off the big bowl game upset. It's possible that WVU might not have done their due diligence....
Mangino, Orange Become One
He went down to quick defeat in the SHOTY First Round, but Kansas coach Mark Mangino proved his mettle last night; that Kansas team might have pretty good, doggunit....
Another "BCS" "Bowl Game"
Forgive us for not doing much of an update on the gripping Fiesta Bowl last night. As happy as we might be for West Virginia and their new coach — and we're so, so happy, no question — but it's difficult to be too fired up for one top 10 to beat another top 10 in a meaningless bowl game just because...
Buy A Dirty Feller's Beard
The guy in this picture is not famed West F—-in' Virginia fan The Mighty MJD, though we wish it were. It's "bragg-mcdowell," and he's selling his beard on eBay....
West Virginians Should Get Out Of The Conspiracy Theory Business
There's been a wave of sympathy for Michigan in the past year, and I for one hoped they were going to find a good solid coach from the lower ranks to bring up, like Ohio State did with Jim Tressel. That didn't happen, and my sympathy swung to West Virginia for losing their fabled coach Rich Rodrigue...
The Last Weekend For This College Football Business
Some might say there's no legitimate national champion this year, but that seems beside the point: We play sports to crown a champion, and if no one necessarily deserves it, what's wrong with that? It's nice to have a winner....
Pat White Has A Special Friend
