Posted on 15 Jun 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
One of the things that makes college football so great to watch is the rivalries between different schools - Alabama and Auburn, Michigan and Ohio State, Oklahoma and Texas. These are the games that fans circle on their calendars each and every year. Yesterday, it was announced that Pennsylvania will once again have their own major rivalry renewed in 2016 when Pitt hosts Penn State at Hein...

Should I Stay Or Should I Go Now?
Posted on 8 Jan 2011 by Michael Waterloo.
‘Should I stay or should I go now… If I leave there will be trouble, and if I stay it will be double… So you gotta let me know, should I stay or should I go'. Who would have thought that a song written by The Clash in 1981 would be relevant to sports in 2011? Recently, Andrew Luck, the consensus number one pick in the upcoming draft, shocked the sports world when he announced that...

Backyard Brawl Preview
Posted on 24 Nov 2010 by Jason Lee.
West Virginia (7-3, 3-2 Big East) and Pitt (6-4, 4-1 Big East) will meet for the 103rd time this Friday afternoon in what is known as the “backyard brawl”. This rivalry game was given its nickname in part because of the two schools proximity to one another (about 75 miles apart). Other reasons for the nickname include recruiting (both schools recruit heavily in Pittsburgh and We...

Reasons to Believe: Syracuse Stuns #20 West Virginia in Morgantown
Posted on 23 Oct 2010 by Beth Ann Clyde.
I didn't see that one coming. I haven't been this happy to be wrong since I passed Biology 101 with Marvin Druger. Behind a stellar defensive effort, Syracuse earned an upset 19-14 win against nationally ranked #20 West Virginia in Morgantown. The Orange had not beaten WVU since 2001, and now we can add this victory to the “for the first time” list I've been compiling. For the first...

Tough Road Ahead: SU-WVU Preview
Posted on 20 Oct 2010 by Beth Ann Clyde.
The bad news: After a sobering 45-14 loss to Pittsburgh last weekend, Syracuse must travel to Morgantown to face the toast of the Big East, #20/20 West Virginia. The good news: For the second week in a row, no one in Orange got injured. I’m not sure if this is good news or bad news, but this means the same guys that were on the field against Pitt and USF will be back for Saturday’s matchu...

Syracuse v. South Florida Preview
Posted on 8 Oct 2010 by Lutfi Sariahmed.
The Big East season is finally upon us. What does it mean? At this point you could legitimately make the argument that six of the eight teams in the conference could win the league. If Syracuse beats South Florida convincingly enough this week in Tampa you could add the Orange to that list as well. Would I pick them to beat West Virginia with a win? Probably not. But the main point here is that...

What To Make of the Orange
Posted on 28 Sep 2010 by Lutfi Sariahmed.
Syracuse 42 Colgate 7. Delone Carter reminded everyone he's one of the best running backs in the conference with a four touchdown performance. Ryan Nassib managed the game well enough for a win. The defense allowed only seven points and Syracuse is 3-1. This was the 2nd FCS win in consecutive weeks so that will be the extent of my analysis on that game as Syracuse now heads into the bye week be...

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...

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.

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...
