At 21-8, Will The Mountaineers Get An Invite To The Big Dance?

Ending their season yesterday with a win over last place (in the Big East) Cincinnati, West Virginia finished their regular season with a 21-8 record. Not too bad, but in the Big East, that record puts them in seventh place, behind five teams ranked in the top 25. Of course, they could win the Big... Sign in to see full entry.

Tragic Weekend For Running Backs

Damien Nash, the 24-year-old Denver Bronco running back, died today of unknown causes shortly after a charity basketball game in St. Louis. The event was being held to benefit research for heart transplants and was held to raise money for the foundation named in honor of Damien's brother, Darris,... Sign in to see full entry.

Tiger Woods Missed A Four-Foot Putt?

Hard as it may be to believe, Tiger Woods missed a four-foot putt in the Accenture Match Play Championship in the second playoff round, losing to the steady Australian, Nick O'Hern, who sank a twelve-footer to win. Nick O'Hern became the first golfer to beat Woods twice. To add icing to the cake of... Sign in to see full entry.

No. 1 And No. 2 Go Down As We Head Toward March Madness

My WVU Mountaineers took out No. 2 UCLA last week, coming back in the second half to take out the Bruins, 70-65. Oh, hell, yeah. (But then they lost to No. 16 Georgetown, who are on a roll with eight victories in a row. It was also WVU's first loss at home this season.) West Virginia beat Seton Hall...

I Want To Say One More Thing About The Super Bowl

I watched the Super Bowl on board a cruise ship. It was okay, but I'd rather have watched it in my best friend's garage with him, his wife, and the typical fifteen or twenty people who congregate at his house. Still, all in all, it was a different viewing experience. And, of course, the Colts won.... Sign in to see full entry.

Did They Forget To Mediablitz The Super Bowl?

Is it me or is the usual Super Bowl hoopla missing? I've only seen two commercials previewing it for CBS. But where are the promotions, the tie-ins, the hype? Maybe I'm just missing them, but I have access to all forms of media and I'm not feeling the electricity of build-up that leads to the Super... Sign in to see full entry.

Super Bowl Set; Parcells Will Not Take Cowboys To One In Future

With Indianapolis' excellent defense and Manning masterfully marshalling his forces for an eighteen point comeback and subsequent tit-for-tat scoring that placed the Colts in position for a final winning drive, the AFC Championship Game last night was an edge-of-your-seater. Even the last minute of... Sign in to see full entry.

Why Didn't I Post After The San Diego Loss?

Because I was sick. Sick, I tell you. Sick that the one team I thought would roll through the playoffs... uh... didn't. And don't get me started about the Patriots. Good team; great coach. Hate 'em. Just that simple. But give them credit. Eight points down in the 4th and they won. But that little... Sign in to see full entry.

Saints Marching On; Colts Out-Kick Ravens

The Ravens just couldn't generate any scores yesterday, except through the foot. Same with Indianaplis. In fact, Vinitieri kicked five field goals, tying a League record (among others, Vinitieri has accomplished this feat three times now), leading the Colts to a 15-6 victory over the well-rested...

The Mounties Look Good In Basketball This Year, Too

My brother brought it to my lagging attention the other day that WVU had a good record this year. I had been so wrapped up in NCAA football that I'd neglected the basketball. Well, time to remedy that... No. 21 West Virginia lost their last game to unranked Notre Dame, 61-58, unable to sink a... Sign in to see full entry.
