Just like the election.

Was at ECU yesterday and spoke to high ups and here is a few tidbits for those talking about Neal and ECU.

They want a hire in place by DEC 1 for portal reasons and to secure as many players on current roster as possible.

They want an offensive guy to put butts in seats as I was told that 50k stadium needs filled for $$$ to pay for everything else including their nationally ranked baseball.

Per @Vernon thread a few pages ago they also want a coach that can bring players and more important a QB with him so it’s a quick turn around. Definitely a major factor. Garrett Riley will be a top candidate.

Sidebar: felt like a WVU flashback game with Winston wright, AWL, Moorer, Jeter, etc playing for ECU. Fun game. 🏴‍☠️

anybody would have been fired. Not talking head coach but anyone on the staff?

I was pretty impressed by Nicco last night, so brings up the question.

the Oregon Ducks made by selecting Dan Lanning as their Head Coach. He has also been very loyal to UO. This is exactly why I think you hire the best candidate and fit and don’t limit candidates by only considering Head Coaches. I think Glenn Schumann deserves consideration and so does Andy Kotelnicki.

Cee Dee Lamb left WIDE open in the end zone twice in the fourth quarter. Looks like McMillan running downfield routes.

HARRISONBURG, Va. (Oct. 27, 2024) – The No. 6 West Virginia University men’s soccer team earned a point against James Madison with a 2-2 draw at Sentara Park, Sunday evening. The Mountaineers go to 10-1-4 on the season while JMU is now 7-2-6.

West Virginia remains on top of the Sun Belt Standings with a 5-0-2 record in conference play and 17 points, two ahead of Marshall.

Junior Marcus Caldeira and freshman Isaac Scheer each scored for the Mountaineers with Caldeira and graduate student Sergio Ors Navarro both collecting assists.

Overall, the Mountaineers outshot James Madison, 17-8, including a 7-4 edge in shots on goal. WVU also held a 6-4 advantage on corner kicks.

In the first half, West Virginia outshot JMU, 6-2, but the best chance before the break came in the 13th minute for JMU as Evan Southern’s shot hit the post.

With the game still scoreless into the second half, the Dukes took the lead in the 54th minute.

The Mountaineers looked for the equalizer and found it in the 71st minute as Ors Navarro laid off the ball for a streaking Caldeira with a back heel pass. The Preseason Sun Belt Player of the Year knew what to do, firing a left-footed shoto on his first touch around the keeper and into the back of the net.

Caldeira nearly gave the Mountaineers the lead in the 75th minute, but his shot was saved and then bounced down off the crossbar before being cleared away.

West Virginia kept attacking and Scheer delivered for the Mountaineers in the 83rd minute, taking a pass from Caldeira and getting a shot off just before the defender slid in with a tackle. The JMU goalkeeper got a foot on the ball but could not keep it out of the net as WVU took a 2-1 lead.

With James Madison now down, the Dukes earned a free kick in the 88th minute. Kevin Larsson, who scored the first goal of the game, curled in a ball toward the box that snuck its way into corner of the net as no player on either side got a foot or head on it.

The Mountaineers will be back home for Senior Night on Thursday evening against Coastal Carolina. Kickoff from Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium is set for 7 p.m.

It's a Neal Brown thing, and it's been activated.

Great story about efforts made by WV men who traveled to NC. Should be a very proud moment.

I assume we'll need this once the game is released.

Beating JMU 7 minutes left

Aren’t we supposed to have a double secret scrimmage with Wake Forest before we get the season started? Any idea when this scrimmage will take place?

CBS has us vs Tulane, CFN has us playing Oklahoma

Just shows how soft that group is.

That would be the asshole, Texas wannabe, Utah Utes, Alex. 😃 Haha!!

Are we going to stay the course with our defensive coaches or are we going address the elephant in the room?

There are issues that go much deeper than the injuries exposed.

@Vernon @Keenan Cummings

In 2005 the lights went out or partially out and there was a long delay. This story was posted on the Cincy board.

“Butch would tell a story about how Dantonio and Rich Rod met on the field to discuss if they should keep playing.


Dantonio was not keen on continuing to play because he worried they couldn't pick up the ball in the air in the dim light. Rich Rod said, don't worry about it because we aren't gonna throw in in these conditions. First play after that, WVU threw a big bomb for a completion(TD?) and according to Butch, Dantonio lost his sh*t on the sideline.”

The entire D staff gets canned in the offseason and Neal and Ren will sell the next renaissance of mountaineer football. Oh and the plebs will eat it up.
