It is a tough time to be a Mountaineer fan. It has been a tough time to be a Mountaineer fan. It seems like forever since we have been relevant in football. And it seems almost as long in basketball. Years and years of irrelevance. Time has passed by pretty quickly. But it is shocking how long it has been.

I have met NB a few times. Really like the guy and his family. But it is time to move on. We have talked about the cost of letting him go. I would argue the cost to the University would be far greater if he stayed. Lost ticket sales. Lost donations. Damage to the brand.

DeVries has breathed some life into the moribund basketball program. I watched the game against Charleston and I did not recognize anyone on the team, not even Naveh (different hair cut, lol). But I fear it is going to be a pretty long season. He needs time to recruit and to build relationships with key donors that allow us to compete in the NIL game. I was heartened by our performance in the game. But the Big 12 is a whole different animal. Not sure we have the horses to be a factor. It is likely that we don't. Even in the NIL era, re-building takes time, shorter in basketball, longer in football.

Wren has an easy decision but tough to execute agenda. The season will play out. At season's end, NB will very, very likely be gone. And the search needs to already be underway, much as it was during the transition year in basketball. Wren is a basketball guy. How good will he be on the football side? He needs to be an A player and make the exact right decision. Or we continue swirling down this drain.

I haven't a clue who would be a great hire. Cignetti would likely be a home run but I suspect he will have bigger fish to fry. And would he really leave the B1G for the Big 12? And, even if we make the right hire, how long will we remain in the wilderness? It is going to take time. We have learned patience. We have had to. But this is wearing very thin. I now expect losses rather than looking forward to games. Depressing.

But tomorrow is a new day. Hope in basketball. For sure. Hope in football? We will have to wait a while for that.

Wren, get it right. Please.

Goose Crowder out for the remainder of the year and Gerad Parker has them sitting at 1-6 so far. Not a lot of happy campers on the Troy twitter feed.

for season due to injury. Three of U of A’s best defenders. If we can’t score 30 on these guys Saturday, WVU has a major issue. Manu got hurt Saturday and the other two got hurt a couple of games ago. Manu is a physical linebacker and run stopper. CJ should have plenty of opportunities.

J/K (kind of).

This board back in the day used to be pretty active with recepies and things like that. Rarely used anymore. I suppose it got washed up in social media like the majority of message boards...

Anyway, was looking for a good recipe for home made biscuits and gravy. Have never made it, and figured rather than go to my regular recipe online searches, figured I'd give it a shot.

I have a stand up mixer that I can use and would prefer a scratch recipe for the biscuits as well.

Kamala isn’t smart enough to to fill a soda from the fountain at McDonalds

Did you hear what he said? "You're not ordinary" that is the most profound statement that we shouldn't let get by us.

One candidate serves fries the other serves lies.

Have you ever worked at a McDonalds Kamala? Yes I have worked at McDonalds.
No record of Harris ever working at a McDonalds.

Convicted felon Trump is a coward and a scared, lying pussy. Scared of another debate with Kamala and backs out of 60 Minutes interview. Trump can't stand anyone fact-checking him. There's no reason for him to even speak if he can't spew lies constantly.

’60 Minutes’ details Trump canceling prime-time interview

“A week ago, Trump backed out,” Pelley said. “The campaign offered shifting explanations. First, it complained that we would fact-check the interview. We fact-check every story.”

“Later, Trump said he needed an apology for his interview in 2020,” Pelley continued, citing a contentious interview during that campaign in which Trump sparred with Lesley Stahl over Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Before we start, try to stay focused on the question. We don't need you to remind us of Neal's record or how many years he's been here. 😅 KSU and Iowa State could be flipped

My list

PSU
KSU
Iowa State
Pitt
Oklahoma State
Kansas
Albany

Vernon you mentioned last week that K St might be the turning point in the locker room where Neal loses the team. Any rumblings? We haven't seen any obvious public discontent... even in social media land surprisingly... at other schools we have seen guys sit themselves down and all sorts of crazy stuff..

Hypothetically -if Rich was hired six years ago

In a world where Hollywood fixes all problems, I had a dream (really I did) of Ronnie ‘Sunshine’ Bass rolling into Morgantown, his hair blonde Fabio hair blowing in the wind, and rescuing West Virginia’s football season with a couple of perfectly placed spiral passes and a kick ass locker room speech. I mean, if he could unite T.C. WIlliams his HS team, surely he could overcome whatever’s going on with the Mountaineers, right (maybe)….

But let’s be real. ….Neil Brown is still our coach. This is the same Neil Brown who anointed Jared Doege as his first quarterback prodigy and since then, well… let’s just say QB development hasn’t exactly been the QB whisperer’s strong suit. Doege might have been his Jedi warrior but unfortunately, the Jedi training program has had a few hiccups. .. and he turned out to play like a deer in headlights instead of a Will Greer clone. No other quarterback has emerged to lead us to the promised land. And do we really expect ‘Sunshine’ to survive under Neal’s system?

Even with Sunshine’s arm talent, the heart, it’s hard to see how his golden-boy magic could shine through the intricacies of our current coaching playbook. Sure, he could step in and throw a 60-yard bomb on his first snap, but then we’d still be asking: “Why are we running a 2-yard screen pass on 3rd and 12?”

So, Sunshine, as much as we love your hair and your can-do attitude, I think coming to West Virginia might be a bigger mistake than not fixing the QB room in the first place.

WATCH: 2018 Video Shows Wuhan Lab Partner Scheming on How to Make Money from a Pandemic.

https://thenationalpulse.com/breaking/wuhan-lab-partner-scheming-on-pandemic-profits/

While speaking at a conference in 2018, Wuhan Institute of Virology and collaborator and gain-of-function advocate Dr. Ralph Baric advised attendees on how to “make money” in the next pandemic.​

Baric – who’s attended conferences at the Wuhan Institute of Virology and is described by Wuhan’s “bat woman” Shi Zhengli as one of her “longtime collaborators” – made the comments at an April 2018 event hosted at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Baric – who’s described lifting bans on gain-of-function research as “critical” – also provided the Wuhan lab with humanized mice to likely conduct the controversial form of research with SARS-like coronaviruses.
