WVU Wins Home Opener

New coach Bill Stewart had the Mountaineers ready to play last Saturday. In the warm-up game against Villanova, WVU did what it what was supposed to do ... win easily. Pat White, WVU QB and Heisman candidate, threw 5 TD passes, setting a Mountaineer Field record for a West Virginia QB.

The Mountaineers have their work cut out for them. The defense did come up with some big plays, but they allowed the opposition to control the clock. If the defense gels, and the offense continues to roll, this will be a special season for the old gold and blue!

March Madness

Today begins an exciting few weeks for all college basketball fans. How many of you have filled out a bracket? Who do you have going to the Final Four? Did you choose with your head or your heart? I filled out two brackets ... one with what I want to happen ... WV Mountaineers going winning the championship, and one with what I think will more likely to happen, WV going the Elite 8. It is incredible that WV has done so well this year. Last year they won the NIT Championship, and their coach, John Belein, moved to Michigan. Bob Huggins, whose coaching style is the opposite of Belien's has taken this team to a new level. Picked to finish 10th in the Big East, WVU finished 5th. Look for the Mountaineers to surprise a few people with a deep run in this year's tournament.

If you haven't filled out a bracket yet, Yahoo! has an easy to use bracket available. If you are a pastor, Jon Earls has started a group for you. There's not much time left, so you'd better hurry if you want to join. Here's the link to his blog.

Let's Gooooooo ... Mountaineers!
