Prayers Needed for a former player and board member

OLD TIME MOUNTAINEER
A great friend of mine and a former lineman from the mid 70's, Mark Cuneo (Big Faulker), is having some tough health issues and needs our prayers. He is in a Pittsburgh hospital and is fighting the good fight to recover. Please take a moment today and every day to keep him in your thoughts and prayers. Thank You.

WVU Release WVU Men's Soccer - Mountaineers Storm Back to Defeat Georgia Southern in Sun Belt Quarterfinals

Vernon
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Nov. 10, 2024) – The No. 10 West Virginia University men’s soccer team came back from a two-goal deficit against Georgia Southern in the Sun Belt quarterfinals, taking down the Eagles, 3-2, on a rainy Sunday afternoon at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium. The Mountaineers improve to 11-1-6 while the Eagles finish the season at 6-7-4.



The top-seeded Mountaineers will move on the Sun Belt semifinals on Wednesday against the winner of the South Carolina and Kentucky match with kickoff set for 7 p.m.



The Mountaineers got goals from graduate student and Sun Belt Player of the Year Sergio Ors Navarro, senior Carlos Hernando, and junior Marcus Caldeira. Seniors Frederik Jorgensen and Dante Huckaby each collected assists as well.



Overall, West Virginia outshot the Eagles, 20-6, with shots on goal even at four. The Mountaineers also had an 11-1 advantage in corner kicks.



Georgia Southern jumped out to the lead in the 36th minute before earning a penalty less than a minute later. Redshirt-senior Marc Bonnaire made the initial save, but Zachary Martin knocked in the rebound for his second goal in 54 seconds.



It looked like the Mountaineers would head into the half down a pair of goals, but with 10 seconds left, freshman Isaac Scheer was tripped up by the Eagle goalkeeper in the box to earn a penalty. Caldeira stepped up to the spot and buried his ninth goal of the season.



West Virginia came out firing in the second half and found the equalizer in the 62nd minute as Jorgensen sent a corner kick toward the box where Hernando leaped up and headed it into the back of the net. It was the second goal of the defender’s career and first of the season.



In the 82nd minute, the Mountaineers took the lead as Huckaby crossed a ball into the box for Ors Navarro. He jumped and beat his defender to the ball, heading in the go-ahead goal, his 13th of the year.



Georgia Southern had one last chance in the 90th minute as Sun Belt Freshman of the Year Harvey Sarajian took a shot, but Bonnaire was there to make the save, not allowing any rebound opportunity.

I believe this to be true about the Presidential election…

P
If you voted for Trump, there is a very high likelihood that you agree with his positions on the issues and his policy proposals.
I believe that if Harris voters were pressed on the issues, including the candidates true positions on abortion, a significant proportion would also agree with Trump.
I believe more Harris voters are 1) low information 2) Democrats regardless of the issues and their beliefs who will reflexively vote Dem 3) Brainwashed into an irrational fear of Trump.
So many Harris voters were voting against their own interests without knowing it.
If we had an honest media, many more Harris voters would be happy with the intentions and results of a Trump presidency.
Of course there are the true believers in the Dem Marxist movement but I think they are probably a minority of Harris voters.

No limits on eligibility

9
I have been wondering for a while how much longer you will see there be a limit on the number of years a “student athlete” can be eligible to play college sports. My guess is it won’t be that much longer that athletes will be limited to 5 years (or whatever it is these days with all the exceptions that exist).

I noticed a lawsuit filed by someone suing related to junior college transfers eligibility rules. I think we are 2-3 years from “student athletes” not having to be enrolled or attend classes and there being no limits on the number of years they can play.

I think we are close to “college branded athletic programs” and no longer college sports as we once knew it. It will make insane amounts of money like the NFL but it won’t be what it was once. In fact, it already isn’t….
