This is a really big "get" for Morgantown. Should make it a lot easier for many of us to get back for games. I believe it's the first time there's been a direct flight to Chicago.

Milton is a generational monster. It hard to fathom how bad this is going to be for the Sun Coast.

We are leaving Venice tomorrow morning for calmer space and just hoping for the best.

Stay safe, FL Bros.

FEMA: The Biden-Harris regime is taking control of airspace and airports in and round the Hurricane Helene disaster. Planes can no longer bring aid and supplies into regional airports like Asheville without prior approval from FEMA. Private helicopter pilots are being threatened with arrest and drones are being banned. There is a 100% lockdown on information and aid NOT under the direct control of FEMA and the Biden-Harris regime.



At the request of FEMA, the Secretary of Defense has authorized the movement of up to 1,000 active-duty Soldiers to support the delivery of food, water, and other critical aid "over the last mile to the point of need" to communities impacted by Hurricane Helene.

These soldiers are part of an Infantry Battalion Task Force, formed from the XVIII Airborne Corps, to include members of the 82nd Airborne and other units stationed at Fort Liberty, NC. The task force includes a Forward Support Company with the necessary support structures (fuel, water, mechanics, etc.) to support FEMA in stabilizing critical lifelines and essential services for communities in North Carolina.

Employment of these Soldiers will provide additional manpower and logistics capabilities, enabling FEMA and other interagency partners to reach the hardest hit areas as quickly as possible. Their mission will include delivering support and commodities to impacted and isolated communities, assisting with supply point logistics at commodity staging locations, and removing debris from affected routes.

To streamline effectiveness and provide unity of command, the Secretary of Defense authorized and the Commander of U.S. Northern Command, Gen. Gregory Guillot, appointed Brig. Gen. Charles Morrison of the North Carolina Army National Guard as the Dual Status Commander for North Carolina. A dual-status commander is an officer who is allowed by law to command active duty and National Guard troops and serve in federal and state statuses simultaneously.

These soldiers are assembling and moving to the affected areas within the next 24 hours, and will join other servicemembers from the Department of Defense who are already supporting FEMA's response to Hurricane Helene, including:

1. US Army and US Navy helicopters, Soldiers, and Sailors providing critical capability to move personnel and supplies in areas where access via roads is not available or viable.
2. US Air Force aircraft, helicopters, and Airmen providing search-and-rescue capabilities.
3. US Army Soldiers and high wheeled vehicles moving personnel and supplies over roads and terrain damaged or impassable to normal vehicles.
4. Army Corps of Engineers Temporary Power Teams and subject matter experts supporting debris removal, water and wastewater management, and bridge inspections.

Additionally, and significantly, the National Guard has activated more than 6,500 Guardsmen, hundreds of High Water Vehicles, and dozens of helicopters and rescue boats from 12 different states in State-Active-Duty statuses. These Guardsmen have been spearheading the response effort across the impacted region in support of their Governors, providing critical life-saving and life-sustaining support to the victims of this historic natural disaster.

The DoD has been fully engaged with FEMA and the whole-of-government relief efforts related to Hurricane Helene, and will continue to work with our federal, state, and local partners to ensure we are supporting and coordinating response efforts.

This should be interesting.

Curious if we expect to see him back on the field any time soon? I suspect if he misses another couple games, they would prefer to redshirt him...assuming he is agreeable to that. What's the latest word?

very winnable game coming up. Will Brown take advantage?

Brother and I are taking my dad to the US Open next year at Oakmont….

Looking for tix. Gotta have Trophy Club access.

WVU hosting Kansas State Oct. 19 will be a 7:30 p.m. kickoff and will be televised on either FOX or FS1.

West Virginia has received a commitment from Noah Farrell. He's a 2026 right-handed pitcher with a 90 MPH fastball.

"I am extremely thankful and blessed to announce that I will be furthering my academic and athletic career at West Virginia University! First I want to thank god for giving me this opportunity to fulfill my dream of playing division one baseball at a very high level. I also want to thank all my family, friends, and coaches for supporting me relentlessly to help me get to this point. Lastly, I would like to thank Coach Sabins and the rest of the West Virginia coaching staff for believing in me and making this all possible. Excited to be a Mountaineer!!"

Game will kickoff at 4 p.m. Saturday on ESPN2.

He should do more interviews very open and honest. Very well spoken, it was like no question was to hard for him and he articulated very well. Nice interview and seemed like the media liked talking with him as well

The U.S. Navy said on Friday that one of its destroyers collided with a Philippine-flagged merchant vessel southwest of Yokosuka, Japan, in the dead of night and Japanese media reported that seven U.S. crew members were missing.

The Navy said in a statement that the USS Fitzgerald collided with a merchant vessel at about 2:30 a.m. local time (1730 GMT), some 56 nautical miles southwest of Yokosuka, a rare incident on a busy waterway.

My Fiver on WVU's victory over the Cowboys in Stillwater on Saturday afternoon...

1. Cathartic. Ollie Gordon II had 7 carries for 53 yards and a TD in the FIRST QUARTER of last year's game vs. WVU. This year, our defense held him to 13 carries for 50 fairly meaningless yards for the entire game. Last year, as a team OSU had 33 carries for 281 yards. 8.5 ypc. This year, OSU had 21 carries for 36 yards, 1.7 ypc. This is the same QB, same RB in Gordon, same players on OL, same TE and a couple of the same WRs with same coaching staff. Yes, they are definitely off their game, but we're not. And credit where credit is due - our coaching staff had our guys ready to go to Stillwater and kick someone's ass. And that's just what we did. Last year's 4th quarter vs. OSU was a complete embarrassment & meltdown on the defensive side of the ball. And this year, our defense got a bit of payback.

2. Mauling. Offensively, we just mauled their defense. 65 carries for 389 yards at 6.0 ypc is imposing your will. We expected that this 2024 version of WVU would be able to establish the run vs. anybody. That is partially why the Penn State loss was so deflating. However, this is better than expected. This actually reminded me much of the BYU game last season - BYU was playing their 4th consecutive week in a row, coming off of a physical beating at Texas, and they were gassed. We then proceeded to steamroll them with the rushing game, going for 336 yards on 48 carries (7.0 ypc). OSU's D was playing their 6th consecutive week in a row, after physical losses to Utah and KSU, and they were gassed. We did what a good team is supposed to do...I'll let Peter Venkman take it away:


3. Offense flipped a switch? Since 5:24 to go in the 4th quarter of the Kansas game, here are our offensive possessions:

- vs. Kansas: 9 plays, 75 yards, TOUCHDOWN
- vs. Kansas: 7 plays, 67 yards, TOUCHDOWN
- vs. OSU: 12 plays, 55 yards, FIELD GOAL
- vs. OSU: 9 plays, 65 yards, TOUCHDOWN
- vs. OSU: 6 plays, 63 yards, TOUCHDOWN
- vs. OSU: 8 plays, 87 yards, TOUCHDOWN
- vs. OSU: 9 plays, 75 yards, TOUCHDOWN
- vs. OSU: 7 plays, 45 yards, DOWNS (C.J. stuffed for 1-yard gain on 4th & 1)
- vs. OSU: 11 plays, 32 yards, DOWNS (Garrett slides short of sticks)
- vs. OSU: 8 plays, 88 yards, TOUCHDOWN

In the past 65 game minutes, we have scored 52 points vs. conference opponents, gained 652 yards, averaged 7.6 yards per play, scored on 8 of 10 drives including 7 touchdowns, have zero sacks, zero turnovers and but for an inadvertent slide and being 1-yard shy on fourth down, would've scored on all of them.

4. Since Garrett Greene took over as QB vs. Oklahoma in '22, and we essentially rebranded Neal Brown's version of Air Raid offense to the Ground Raid, WVU is now 14-7 overall, 10-4 in Big XII play. 19 of those 21 games have been against P5 opponents.

5. 3-2, 2-0 in the Big XII, vs. #11 Iowa State Saturday. We're now 2-0 in conference play, and all goals are still within reach. With the new look Big 12, really, we are not going to face another team this season who has a distinct personnel advantage over us. I know Iowa State is ranked #11. I know that they are 3 point favorites. But, really, man for man, they're no better than us...and we probably actually have more talent on all sides of the ball. Our fanbase had turned decidedly against Neal Brown after the Pitt endgame fiasco. Two consecutive Big 12 victories since, and Brown has the fanbase's attention, for better or for worse. And a win over a ranked Iowa State squad under the lights in prime time Saturday at Mountaineer field would do wonders to put a lot of energy back into the passion tank of our fanbase and rally Mountaineer Nation back behind the Ground Raid. Bottom line is that if we win Saturday, we're 3-0 in this conference, and there's not a team in front of us that Neal Brown hasn't defeated, save for an Arizona team who just lost to Texas Tech. This conference is there for the taking. We have the talent, on both sides of the ball if this secondary keeps up their play. The rest of the way is all about coaching, schemes, and how this talent is utilized. Neal Brown was hired because he won double digit games and conference championships at Troy. It's time to do that in Morgantown, right now.

This morning I watched ESPNs college football final no less that 2 times hoping to hear recap of the game. I expected it to be all about OSU but not a single word and the game was on there network... once again total disrespect from ESPN. WTF

Repub led house doesn't give one fvck about disaster relief funding so there's that.

'Shameful!' Johnson slammed for saying Congress won’t cut recess short to pass disaster relief aid
