WVU Release WVU Men's Soccer - WVU and Kentucky Play to Scoreless Draw

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Sept. 27, 2024) The No. 6 West Virginia University men’s soccer team played to a scoreless draw against Kentucky at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium, Friday evening. The Mountaineers go to 5-0-3 and 1-0-1 in the Sun Belt while the Wildcats are 1-2-4 and 0-0-2 in conference play.



It was the biggest crowd of the season for the Mountaineers as the game was sold out with 2,968 fans in attendance, the fourth largest in men’s soccer history.



Kentucky outshot the Mountaineers, 12-11, while WVU had a 3-2 edge in shots on goal. West Virginia had a 9-5 advantage in corner kicks as well.



Redshirt-senior Marc Bonnaire made two saves to earn his fifth clean sheet of the season.



The Mountaineers controlled most of the first half with 57% of the possession and getting two shots on goal but could not find the back of the net. Graduate student Sergio Ors Navarro had one of the better chances for WVU in the 17th minute, but his left-footed shot curled just outside the left post.



Kentucky’s best chance of the game came in the 34th minute when Marqes Muir hit the post.



In the second half, the Wildcats outshot WVU, 8-2, but still neither team could break through with a goal. Bonnaire made both of his saves in the half while junior Ethan Dekel Daks had the only shot on frame for the Mountaineers in the final 45 minutes.



West Virginia will be back in action on Tuesday, Oct. 1, at Bucknell. Kickoff from Lewisburg, Pennsylvania is set for 6 p.m.

ELECTION INTERFERENCE:
The duplicity of certain corporate elites knows no bounds, as evidenced by the recent actions of Kevin Gallagher, an executive at Deloitte, who decided to meddle in the 2024 election. Gallagher, in a move that can only be described as politically motivated, leaked private conversations with Senator J.D. Vance, a staunch Trump ally and Republican figurehead. These conversations, which Gallagher slyly handed over to media outlets, paint Vance in a less-than-flattering light. But make no mistake: this was no act of civic duty. Gallagher’s true motive seems to be aiding Vice President Kamala Harris in her quest for power by undermining Vance, a threat to the Democratic establishment.

The sheer audacity of Gallagher’s interference would be appalling on its own, but it is especially outrageous when considering his position at Deloitte—a firm that has raked in billions in government contracts. Over $2 billion, in fact, has flowed into Deloitte’s coffers from taxpayer-funded projects. Why, then, are we allowing such an entity, whose executives play politics for personal gain, to enjoy the spoils of government largesse? Deloitte has been cashing checks courtesy of American taxpayers while its leadership engages in partisan warfare. The GOP must recognize this glaring conflict and take swift action to curtail Deloitte's access to federal contracts.

Gallagher’s behavior is not just a stain on his personal reputation but a warning shot to Republicans across the country. It is high time the GOP reexamined who is benefitting from federal money and put an end to this taxpayer-funded gravy train. Why should hard-earned American dollars continue to pad the profits of a company whose executives are actively working against the Republican cause? If this isn't cronyism at its worst, then what is?

Gallagher’s interference in this election should be the catalyst for a broader GOP-led investigation into Deloitte’s government contracts and the role corporate America is playing in our elections. Republicans should demand accountability and transparency from companies like Deloitte, ensuring that those who meddle in our political system do not continue to thrive off taxpayer funds. Share your thoughts, like, and spread the word to end this flagrant abuse!

A great article in Steeler Digest re: Zach

Some excerpts:

* "Zach Frazier has an innate ability to move, displace and bury defenders. He's been an elite finisher already and gets my vote for best rookie OL in the league through three weeks." -- Brandon Thorn, OL Masterminds.

* "It may soon be time to stop calling Zach Frazier a 'future Pro Bowler' because he very well may just make it as a rookie. Dude is an absolute mauler in the run game." -- Mike Kennedy, Pro Football Focus.

* "Said it at the time, saying it again, BEST CENTER IN THE DRAFT!" -- Duke Manyweather, OL Masterminds.

* "How many knockdowns would Zach get? I lost track at 10... Steelers sure know what a great CENTER looks like. Mike Webster would be proud of Zach's debut." -- Brian Baldinger, NFL Network.

Speaking of Webster, that's the comparison Steelers radio analyst and former guard Craig Wolfley would like to make. He's understandably hesitant.
"I hate to put it out there because it's way too early," said Wolfley, "but you can't help the comparisons that run in your gourd. When I see Zach, he's got that finishing attitude that Mike Webster always had. I mean, Mike wanted to finish a guy and it was mortal combat from the get-go. He also was very much in control directing traffic down there. You can see that Zach is very fluent and speaks the language of both the front-side/back-side cut-offs and pass protection. He's got it all down there. But what I love about it is just the way he's explosive and is goofy-wrestler strong in so many areas. That really is remarkable. I gotta give it to the young man. I've tried to hold back some of the praise because he's rather remarkable in what he's doing, and I just got off a call with the great Dermontti Dawson and he's got some explosiveness like Dermontti Dawson as well.

"We'll see. I want to just wait and watch, but when you see what he did to Grady Jarrett, when you watch what he did to the Chargers' nose tackle; gadzooks! He took him off the ball nine yards by himself. Who does that? You don't see that from centers."

Baldinger comes out with a highlight package of Frazier every week on Twitter. And after Week 3, Baldinger nicknamed him "Matt" Frazier because he's taking so many to the mat.

"I prefer Morgantown Mauler because he'd rather throw ya than know ya," Wolfley said. "You can see it as he's finishing blocks, because when he gets a guy going, he will actually rotate and throw a guy. Just watching his power and ability to get 320-pounders going in another direction is just amazing.

Needless to say, it was an absolutely glowing profile. His teammates could not say enough good things about him. Morgantown Mauler, I like the sound of that.

FCC expedites approval of Soros purchase of 200+ radio stations ahead of election

The Federal Communications Commission expedited a decision to allow Democrat megadonor George Soros to obtain a major stake in more than 200 radio stations—a move the House Oversight Committee is investigating amid concerns of "politicization" and interference in the 2024 presidential election.

The FCC last week "adopted an order to approve Hungarian-born US investor and Democrat mega donor Soros the purchase of more than 200 radio stations in 40 markets just weeks before the presidential election," allowing the far-left kingmaker to reach more than 165 million Americans at a critical time.

The FCC expedited a required review of broadcast licenses by bypassing its standard procedures and process.

The FCC, in this case is not following its normal process for reviewing a transaction. The national security review usually takes 5 to 6 months.
