A huge win, just huge

Some have posted that this was a must win game for NB. I think it is likely the most important win in NB's career at WVU. If he had lost to Pitt the wolves would have been out and the cloud over the program even more negative, perhaps irretrievably negative. Losing to PSU was understandable. Losing a second time to Pitt at home would have been catastrophic (a bit of hyperbole by me). And NB had to be saying that God was against him when Greene went down and NB turned the reins over to a very, very unproven back-up in such a crucial game.

But a strong ground game coupled with good game management by Marchiol and a stout defense was the recipe NB needed. It certainly appears that Greene will be out for some time. We won this game with around 60 passing yards. As good as this feels, I doubt we win many Big 12 games with that kind of passing attack. NB and staff have to come up with a scheme that allows us to build on this win with crucial momentum headed into Big 12 play. The good news is that the Big 12 looks, thus far, to be pretty weak.

NB was handed a bad hand when Greene went down. Greene was playing very well, imo. NB's career is on the line and this was such an important first step. I am rooting for him and the team. Build on this NB. We need it.

This is Unbelievable

Biden’s weaponized Department of Justice just got convictions of three people, including the two women pictured above for blocking access to an abortion clinic back in 2020.

Now Jonathan Darnel, 41, of Arlington, Va., Jean Marshall, 73, of Kingston, Mass. and Joan Bell, 74, of Montague, NJ all face 11 years in prison and a fine of $350,000

A federal jury today convicted three defendants of both offenses in a two-count indictment charging them with federal civil rights offenses in connection with the October 22, 2020, invasion of a reproductive health care clinic in Washington, D.C. The defendants – Jonathan Darnel, 41, of Arlington, Va.; Jean Marshall, 73, of Kingston, Mass.; Joan Bell, 74, of Montague, NJ – were each convicted of a felony conspiracy against rights and a FACE Act offense.

District Court Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly, who presided over the trial, ordered the defendants immediately detained

If you are BLM you can riot, steal,murder and do serious property damage and get away scot free.
But if you dare block the entrance to one of the Democrat left’s abortion mills where slaughter the unborn...... you will suffer immense prison time for it.

WVSPORTS.COM West Virginia head coach Neal Brown press conference summary

--Big win Saturday night and it was important for the state and team. Special teams the kickoff coverage after the penalty was good, made a 42-yard field goal and had a 14-yard punt return and fielded a punt to save field position. They downed a punt at the one and had a -11 return on the punt return. They had a punt block that was due to poor technique and that was disappointing. They had one good kickoff return and they had two really ignorant penalties in the game with a late hit on a kickoff return and where CJ took his helmet off. On defense, they had three interceptions and the pass coverage kept them to 4.0 yards per attempt. They had good pressure on the quarterback and had people around him all night. They were really good on third and fourth down. They missed some tackles early and misfit some things but they had more missed tackles on the first drive than they did the rest of the game. Offensively they controlled the game and they didn't lose it. Had 10 points off takeaways and ran the ball effectively. The reason we didn't kick that field goal at the point late in the game is they were up 11. It was a two score game it really didn't help you and you can get a field goal blocked it can hurt. The penalty set them back.

--OL of the Week was Zach Frazier he had 14 knockdowns in the game. Special teams player of the week was Malachi Ruffin. Defensive Player of the Week was Beanie Bishop he had an interception and seven tackles. Offensive Player was CJ Donaldson who ran the ball the best he has since he's been here. Fatorma Mulbah played his best game in his college career he played 16 plays and got good push up front. Doug Nester had nine knockdowns in the game. Scout team was Charlie Katarincic, Corey McIntyre and Colin McBee.

--Texas Tech is a good rush game. Fans were critical last week and we need them because it's the start of Big 12 play. It's the last game of a three game home stretch and if they defend their home turf they have a good chance to have a good reason. Bruce Irvin and Hall of Fame game with those players being recognized.

--Texas Tech has had their number and beaten them four years in a row and last year is as bad as Brown has seen a team play. This is a chance to prove the so called experts wrong. He has a lot of respect for their football program and Joey McGuire. Special teams they have the McNamara kid at punter and is elite. Field goal guy has a really strong led and their punt returner they have to tackle him. They have two guys on kickoff that can really run and elite speed. Defensive they are an attacking group and real veterans and they controlled the line of scrimmage last year. Offensively they have great skill players and three or four wide receivers that can play anywhere in the league. The running back is going to be an NFL player and he can pass protect, run inside and outside. The quarterback is playing the best football of his career and they play really fast.

--Garrett Greene it's too early to say it's an ankle injury and it's about how he responds over the next couple days but they won't play him if he can't utilize his best skill set which is his athleticism. If he can't go then Nicco Marchiol will play. Greene didn't practice today or tomorrow and Marchiol got every rep. They didn't go to a lot of motions and shifts once Marchiol left the game.

--Marchiol has really high end ability he can run the football and is an in-between the tackles type of runner that is physical. He is really good with balls in-between the hashes and has good velocity. He didn't throw the ball as well in the game due to timing but he can do a lot of stuff with the RPO game. The expectation is that if he plays they will be really good on offense.

--Sean Boyle will be the backup. Tomorrow he'll get those same reps.

--Brown said it's a unique game that they played Pittsburgh last week. Brown tries to educate them on the historical reference on the game but they don't understand it like the 20-year season ticket holder or somebody from here. It's really beneficial they play Texas Tech next because they've beaten them up.

--EJ Horton's role will increase. Justin Johnson tried to go and still no 100-percent. They didn't do a whole lot today.

--Montre Miller will have surgery and miss the rest of the year and he will have to seek an appeal.

--Continue to get the ball to Kole Taylor. Treylan Davis did some nice things blocking and Kole Taylor did a good job. They're getting a lot of playing time and helping on offense for sure.

--The common theme is they move the ball on West Virginia pretty well and they haven't ran the ball as well as they need to in order to win games against Texas Tech. Tempo has been an issue.

--Texas Tech is still throwing the ball more than they're running it but the running back is special.

--Both of the Texas Tech quarterbacks are capable and they don't change much depending on who is in there.

--It's hard. Quarterbacks have always been if they aren't playing they are going to leave. it's hard to have depth at any position but at quarterback it's interesting to see how many backup quarterbacks are true freshmen or redshirt freshmen.

--You have to be transparent why they did or didn't win a starting job and continue their development. What they've done for their young quarterbacks is at the end of practice the guys that played went in and then they scrimmaged the younger guys with Sean Boyle getting every rep.

--Boyle was a little nervous Saturday night. He hadn't really thought about going into the game if Marchiol would have gotten injured.

--In hindsight, the full half against Duquesne for Marchiol worked out. He got a bunch of snaps and should continue to get better. The other night he did some things really well but others that you could tell he was a redshirt freshman and hadn't played a lot.

--Garrett Greene got hurt trying to push for extra yards. You have to have two quarterbacks ready and he knew at some point that Marchiol is going to be called upon. He's been prepared and that's something they thought about with the way it's gone in general.

Info I heard at the game…

Just wanted to share some info I heard from a big donor, prior to the game:

Brown’s status is overall TBD (depends on how the games play out), but he is here the rest of the year, no matter what, unless things go completely off the rails . This is due to finances.

If we do decide to move on from Brown, his replacement would be very unlikely to be a sitting power 5 head coach, and would likely have to be a lower level HC or an up and coming coordinator again (also due to finances).

IMO our best case scenario is that Brown has a good year and we continue to try to build on what he accomplishes! Hope he can do it.

"Dumbing Us Down - 25th Anniversary Edition: The Hidden Curriculum of Compulsory Schooling" by John Taylor Gatto
A teacher recently verbalized that they are there as baby sitters. They are forced to pass the students even though they can not meet grade requirements. If the students refuse to do anything in the classroom, the teachers are forced to leave them alone. Teachers are afraid they will lose their certification according to the policies.

They don't want the next generation asking questions.

This is what the Liberals want. Dumber people so they have to rely on Government assistance. Will not be long until your paycheck goes through the Government first and then they give you what they think you need.

WVU Release Mountaineers Return Home to Battle Dayton

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Sept. 18, 2023) The No. 2 West Virginia men’s soccer team returns to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium on Tuesday to take on the Dayton Flyers. Kickoff is set for 7 p.m.

Tuesday is Trivia Night where fans can pick up a trivia sheet at the marketing table upon entry and bring back their completed sheet at halftime for prizes to be given out to those with the most questions correct. It will also be World Cup/International Student Night.

Nick Farrell and Adam Zundell will be on the call for Tuesday's contest on ESPN+. For more information, or to sign up for the digital platform, visit WVUsports.com/Big12Now. The game also can be heard on 91.7 FM (WWVU) in Morgantown, and live stats are available at WVUsports.com.

After a 2-2 draw on the road at No. 5 UCF, the Mountaineers have jumped up to No. 2 in the TopDrawerSoccer poll, only behind in-state rival Marshall. It is the highest ranking in program history in any poll. West Virginia is also currently No. 1 in the RPI.

Sophomore Marcus Caldeira is tied for the NCAA lead with seven goals this season and has scored in all six contests thus far. His seven goals are already the most for a Mountaineer in a single season since 2019.

Senior Thomas Decottignies scored for the first time as a Mountaineer against the Knights while senior Luke McCormick collected his 19th-career assist, tied for fourth-most in program history.

Senior Jackson Lee and the Mountaineer defense are allowing just 0.5 goals per game, sixth lowest in the country.

Dayton is led by 19th-year head coach Dennis Currier, who is 174-117-53 during his time with the Flyers. This season, Dayton is 2-4-1 and are coming off a dominant 6-0 victory against Rhode Island to open A-10 conference play.

Dayton is a volume-shooting team as the Flyers are fourth in the country with 17.71 shots per game. That high output of shots has led to 16 goals, sixth-most in the nation.

Joseph Melto Quiah leads the team with eight points (3g, 2a) while Hjalti Sigurdsson has seven points (3g, 1a).
