Virgina Tech–Let’s Catch Our Breath
Posted on 3 Nov 2011 by Frank Sullivan.
The Hokies are off until next Thursday night’s huge game at Georgia Tech. Just like the team, I like to use the time off to reflect, recover, and look ahead. In all honesty Virginia Tech’s season has gone about as well as I thought it would; maybe a little better in fact. Granted, they don’t have that signature win and the only quality opponent they’ve faced beat them by 20 in Bla...

VT vs. Marshall–How good are these guys?
Posted on 21 Sep 2011 by Frank Sullivan.
The College Football world is changing, for better or worse. This past week we've seen some shuffling within the football ranks, most notably Syracuse and Pitt jumping the Big East ship and joining the ACC. The world of college football makes very little sense right now (what else is new), but through all the uncertainty, all the hoopla over conference realignment; Frank Beamer’s trying t...

Are the Cubs done dealing?
Posted on 19 Jan 2011 by Paul Jackson.
The three big splashes the Cubs made this off-season were the signings of Carlos Pena and Kerry Wood and the trade for Matt Garza. But are they done? Carlos Pena was an interesting signing. Prior to Carlos’ couple decent years at Tampa Bay, he averaged a .246 clip over his first 5 years… so you can't reasonably expect much more in that category. On the other hand, there is some upside t...

Mountaineers Hope to Survive a Trip to Death Valley
Posted on 23 Sep 2010 by Jason Lee.
WVU fans will finally find out what their Mountaineers are made of as the gold and blue head to Baton Rouge to tango with the LSU Tigers. The Mountaineers will enter Saturday's match up ranked 22nd while the Tigers will be ranked 15th. To add to the hype of this game, let me also throw out that both teams are 3-0 on the season. To me, there are two key match ups that will decide the outc...

After being seperated for 3 years the Mountaineers and Terrapins get back together
Posted on 16 Sep 2010 by Jason Lee.
A feeling of nostalgia is sweeping through West Virginia this week because the Maryland Terrapins will be making their first trip to Morgantown to play the Mountaineers in 3 years. For those math heads, that's 36 months, 1,095 days, or 1,576,800 minutes since the two schools last met on the grid iron. With virtually no familiarity, and seasons seemingly heading in opposite directions, thi...

Mountaineers win Overtime Classic against Herd
Posted on 11 Sep 2010 by Jason Lee.
The 2010 edition of the Friends of Coal Bowl came with built in drama as former West Virginia assistant and recruiting guru, Doc Holliday, went head to head against his old pal Bill stewart in a game that will go down as a classic. When all was said and done, West Virginia left Joan C. Edwards Stadium in Huntington with a 24-21 overtime victory over Marshall. The 23rd ranked Mountaine...

Friends of Coal but Not Each Other
Posted on 8 Sep 2010 by Jason Lee.
Coal is a very important natural resource to the state of West Virginia and her citizens. As such, it should come as no surprise that a majority in the state consider themselves ”friends of coal”. While West Virginians may agree on the importance of coal, they do not agree on which is the best college football team in the state. So, every year, Marshall and West Virginia ...

Mountaineers Open 2010 with a 31-0 Win
Posted on 4 Sep 2010 by Jason Lee.
First year West Virginia quarterback Gino Smith wasted no time getting acquainted with the end zone at Milan Puskar Stadium as he lead the Mountaineer offense on a 72 yard scoring drive to open the game against visiting Coastal Carolina. Smith capped the drive by finding wide out J.D. Woods just inside the end zone for a 4yd touchdown. The Mountaineers would add 3 more touchdowns a...

Overcoming Adversity; Marshall – Ohio State
Posted on 2 Sep 2010 by Rebekah Edwards.
“I've never known anybody to achieve anything without overcoming adversity.” -Lou Holtz The Ohio State Buckeyes have experienced plenty of adversity in seasons past. Florida, LSU and Texas in bowl play and falling to big and not so dominate teams (Purdue) in regular season play. The inability to win the big games created nationwide ridicule beyond keyboard fistfights and alcohol ind...

Despite bad running, Silva 8-0
Posted on 7 Jun 2010 by Eddie Kim.
After a rainout and a day off, the Chicago Cubs shuffled the rotation to give Carlos Silva a few extra days of rest to help him recover from an illness. But in Monday's 6-1 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates, Silva didn't miss a beat. The righty remained unbeaten and improved to 8-0 by holding the Pirates down to just four hits and one run over seven innings of work. The only other pitcher in the ...

Cubs edge LA, but concerns remain
Posted on 27 May 2010 by Eddie Kim.
This was a huge series win. After completing a very successful 3-2 road trip, the Cubs came home to start a very important homestand against two teams knocking on the door of first place: the Los Angeles Dodgers and St. Louis Cardinals. Part of me feared that the Cubs would return to Wrigley assuming that the Dodgers and Cardinals were clearly superior ballclubs and get whipped during the homes...

Have Cubs found their man?
Posted on 23 May 2010 by Eddie Kim.
Ever since Angel Guzman was lost for the year early in spring training, the eighth inning has been a major question mark for the Chicago Cubs. Breaking camp, the most logical option seemed to be John Grabow but he struggled out of the gate. Then Esmailin Caridad had a chance to step up but a series of injuries put him on the shelf. Desperate for help, the Cubs turned to their ace Carlos Zambran...
