When we talk about winning athrtletocs.herrvus what happens.

Research shows a connection between the success of a college football or basketball team and a spike in admissions to the school. . The exposure, brings in students. More students brings in more tuition revenue.
Winning keeps boosters giving to a winners. More TV revenue. More items bought. Bring in revenue, and exposure.
Winning defeats apathy.
The Flutie experience it's called
Our excuse in keeping Brown is going to continue to be a negative to WVU. You know, to much arrogance from the leadership of the University have caused them to overlook reality.
You can't win at WVU? 15th all time wins but declining. Decreasing enrollment. Apathy among fans and boosters. I discount bandwagon fans. The bade will always be there. That fan base and grads are why the Vanderbilt,s and Northwestern S, Dukes, Wake forests and enen the horrific years of Kansas still has them om the field.
I don't want to go there.

I said the first of the year. Through the summer. Less than nine wins was unacceptable this year. The schedule was to out advantage. S coach had 5 years to build. The formula and results have not changed. The money issue is fixable. If we are in this position this time next year, all the intangibles will be worse then they are now
Give me one, just one horrible reason we should go on like this.
I am a diehard Mountaineer to the end. If I wasn't, I would not be this bothered by less than mediocrity that we have now. The future is at hand. The time to start was before this season started. The due was cast for this season. The NIL brought in not what we needed. Stop whining and be vocal in your demand for change. West Virgians are winners in almost every way. Les move on Mountaineers. NOW !!!

Perspective: Why yesterday was a great for the CAJUNEER fam…

My wife's birthday was last Sunday. Our daughter was at our house last Saturday because she couldn't be at our house Sunday due to church and work responsibilities in Baton Rouge. My daughter is in her last semester at LSU and is scheduled to graduate in December. She waited until after the LSU game ended so there wouldn't be so much traffic getting to her apartment. Shortly after she left, my wife and I went to bed. That was a little late for us. We pray together every night. We were tired so we held hands and prayed in bed. After I prayed for her and moved on, the for some reason I went back to praying for my daughter. I prayed over and over that God would protect her on her drive home and keep her safe.

Within thirty seconds, my wife and I received texts. The texts said our daughter’s Apple Watch has detected a crash and gives us the location of the crash. We tried to call her multiple times—no answer. We rushed to the scene of the crash about 55 miles away. About a mile before the crash site, traffic was completely stopped. I drove in the median to get to the crash site. As we approached, my wife pointed out two life flight helicopters. I told her, “They don’t send life flight helicopters for dead people.” I found a police officer at the chaotic scene. While she was traveling west on I-12, a car swerved in front of our daughter and she hit her brakes. The car behind her didn't slow down and hit her at an extremely high rate of speed. Her car flipped several times and she was ejected in the median. Her car landed upside-down on the front of a car traveling east on I-12. When I saw the car I said to the officer, “How can anyone survive that crash?” That’s when I learned she was ejected. The officer said, “Had your daughter remained in the car, she wouldn’t be alive.” He told me that my daughter spoke with them and is in an ambulance on her way to a hospital in Baton Rouge.

Because the ambulance was headed west in the east-bound lane trying to get through all of the stopped traffic, and we were in the west-bound lane with all the traffic behind us, my wife and I beat the ambulance to the hospital. After a couple of hours we were able to get back and see our daughter. She was alert but in a lot of pain. She has a couple of hairline fractures in two of her ribs, a collapsed right lung, a fractured clavicle, a dislocated right shoulder, and a fracture on the each of two transverse processes which are the pointy bones on vertebrae onto which muscles attach. Her only head injury was a light abrasion to the right side of her forehead and probably a concussion. She will need surgery on her shoulder and clavicle in the next couple of weeks.

I’ve been to the scene of the accident twice. Where my daughter was ejected was in the bottom of the median. The ground in the bottom is soft and spongy—the only soft spot anywhere around. There were car parts everywhere—tires separated from rims, the centers of the rims knocked out, calipers, discs, and hunks of metal. But in a circle around where my daughter landed was a safe spot, clear of all debris. I saw her car the day after the accident. Her seatbelt is still buckled. She slipped right out of it and out the driver’s-side window.

Thirty seconds after I prayed for my daughter’s protection, my wife and I get the text. We were praying for our daughter at the exact moment of her wreck. God answered our prayer.

My daughter has a long road ahead of her, but she is taking it like a champion and is in good spirits. We brought her home from the hospital on Thursday. Saturday and everyday with our daughter was a good day.

No pics, degenerates.

This is freaking hilarious!

It's all fun and games until the elite fall victim.

LINK: Senate warns of increased crime on Capitol Hill as lawmakers and staff face string of robberies, carjackings :joy::joy::joy:

EXCERPT: "Your safety is paramount; surrender your car without argument and swiftly leave the area," the bulletin stated. "Attempt to recall the carjacker's physical details (gender, race, age, hair/eye color, distinctive features, clothing)."

My question is, how are we supposed to know what gender or race they are, using Democrat logic?

I think it is time

There were very few who were higher on Neal Brown than myself. He was a young coach who played tough defense and smash mouth attitude. He connected with todays player but still has some old school mentality like discipline and mental toughness. These are all things we were hoping to see come to Morgantown after Dana was lacking in these areas.

5 years later and none of these virtues have been cultivated in the football program. We are still struggling to recruit/develope high quality high school quarterbacks, wide outs are still dropping passes, mental breakdowns on and off the field, general lack of discipline and a continuous rotation of low level or juco defensive backs.

Where is the depth? Injuries have been bad on the back seven on defense but there are positions that have NO viable back-up options. Yes I appreciate that there is some quality depth at both lines and right end but what is going on with the skill positions?

Why are we continuously making the same mistakes? Why am I watching a large, powerful offensive line blocking sideways 50% of the time? When we cant stretch the field vertically why do we still run long developing running plays into loaded defensive boxes? Why haven't our receivers been coached up to block? When something is working why do we immediately go away from it? And when something doesn't work we ran it 5 more time just to make sure its doesn't work? Why do we play conservatively until we are forced not to?

Why is it that we are 2-3 stupid, self inflicted mistakes from 6-1 and in our hearts still realize, collectively, that this just isn't a good team/well coached team? We honestly could have been 10-2 but we all know this program would not match that record. It would be based on the lack of quality of the teams we are playing. While I was excited to be 4-1 it just felt like that record was awarded inspite of what we had accomplished. Yes there were glimpses of possible growth, but there was just too many reminders of what we acctually are. Which is a program that is no longer treading water. 4-8 or 10-2, I just don't see the development in this program to continue doing what we've done for the past 5 years.

I like Brown and respect him. He is a genuinely great person and I wish him and this family nothing but the best. I wanted nothing more than to see him succeed here at WVU...........but his time in Morgantown SHOULD be over. Apathy has set in and he cannot recover the fanbase. It is time to end this.

WVU Release Mountaineers Cruise to Victory at Coastal Carolina

CONWAY, S.C. (Oct. 22, 2023) Fresh off a historic win on Wednesday, the No. 5 West Virginia University men’s soccer team extended its unbeaten run to 15 games, defeating Coastal Carolina, 2-0, on Sunday evening. The Mountaineers improve to 11-0-4 overall and 4-0-3 in Sun Belt action while the Chanticleers fall to 3-7-3 and 1-4-2 in conference play.



Seniors Yutaro Tsukada and Luke McCormick each scored for West Virginia, their fifth and fourth goals of the year, respectively. Fellow senior Sergio Ors Navarro added an assist, his second of the year.



WVU outshot Coastal Carolina, 11-2, while holding the Chanticleers without a shot on goal compared to six for the Mountaineers. West Virginia also had a 8-2 advantage in corner kicks.



The Mountaineers did not let the emotional high of Wednesday’s win over No. 1 Marshall stop them from getting off to a fast start against Coastal as Tsukada put WVU out in front just three minutes into Sunday’s contest. A header by sophomore Marcus Caldeira was saved, but Tsukada was there to tap in the rebound for an easy goal.



In the 33rd minute, McCormick doubled the Mountaineer lead, getting the ball from Ors Navarro at the top of the box before firing a bending shot over the outstretched hands of the Coastal keeper and into the back of the net.



Neither team had much going for them in the second half with just six shots combined between the two teams. Tsukada had a shot on goal and McCormick had two in the second half, but neither player could secure a brace.



The Mountaineers remain on the road to battle Kentucky on Friday at 7 p.m. The Wildcats handed Marshall its second straight loss on Sunday, helping West Virginia move into second place in the Sun Belt, just one point behind UCF.

Today I held my best bud Rambo as he passed over

He'd been acting down recently and was having trouble breathing the past week. Took him to one vet on Wednesday and they said his lungs were fine and thought it was his thyroid. Today Emergency vet clinic in Cheat Lake actually did scans and he had cancer in his prostate, liver, and lungs.

He and his sister Sable have been my avatar here for years but he without a doubt was my favorite. He always spun in a million circles as you would come down the stairs or get home from work. He would often bring at least 2, sometimes 3 toys at the same time for you to play with. He was only 7. He's the darker one in my picture and I'll miss him forever

Of course Customs and Border Patrol waits until Saturday morning to release the new disastrous border numbers so that no one is paying attention.

So we understand what the invasion looks like

• 267 terrorists (these were caught imagine how many got through?)

• 8M+ illegal aliens since Biden took office

• 72,823 illegal special interest aliens (from countries that harbor terrorism) over the last 2 years

This is not an accident or a coincidence, this is deliberate by Democrats and it will destroy our country.
