Oregon St/Wash St on the way to owning PAC-12

They got a court injunction to keep the outgoing 10 and Commissioner from meeting, claim the two schools will rebuild conference.

Even more losing! Trump must review classified documents case evidence in secure location, judge says.

Wednesday's ruling by U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon in Florida is a win for prosecutors, who said it would be inappropriate for Trump to be able to review classified documents at the very location where he illegally and haphazardly stored them.

Trump has opposed strict security protocols for the classified evidence as inconvenient, saying he and his lawyers should be able to review them in his office at his Mar-a-Lago estate, his personal residence in Palm Beach, Florida.

Betrayed by Judge Cannon, who he appointed. Where’s the loyalty?

WVU Release WVU Men's Soccer: No. 4 Mountaineers Head to No. 5 UCF to Open Sun Belt Action

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (Sept. 14, 2023) The No. 4 West Virginia men’s soccer team faces its second consecutive top-five foe on Friday, traveling down to Orlando to take on No. 5 UCF in the Sun Belt opener. Kickoff from the UCF Soccer Complex is set for 7 p.m.



Friday’s game will be available to stream on ESPN+ with Austin David and Ryan Davis on the call. For more information, or to sign up for the digital platform, visit WVUsports.com/Big12Now. Live stats are available at WVUsports.com.



After a dramatic 1-0 victory over No. 3 Portland in their last match, the Mountaineers jumped 12 spots to No. 4 in the latest United Soccer Coaches poll, second highest in program history, topped only by a No. 3 ranking on September 28, 2021.



Sophomore Marcus Caldeira scored the game-winning goal with just three seconds left against the Pilots, his sixth of the season, tied for second most in the NCAA. He has scored in all five matches this year and has already surpassed his total from last season. For his efforts this week, Caldeira was named the Sun Belt Offensive Player of the Week as well as the College Soccer News National Player of the Week.



West Virginia’s key to success this year has been its defense as it has allowed just one goal in five matches. The strongest performance came on Saturday as the Pilots only tallied one shot on goal despite coming into the contest as the nation’s top offense, averaging 4.33 goals per game.



Junior Carlos Hernando has been a stalwart on the backline, playing every minute of the season thus far. He has earned a spot on the TopDrawerSoccer National Team of the Week on two straight occasions and was most recently named the Sun Belt Defensive Player of the Week.



Senior Jackson Lee has a .900 save percentage this season in goal and has earned four shutouts, matching his output from last year.



UCF is led by seventh-year head coach Scott Calabrese, who is 64-31-9 during his time in Orlando. The Knights are 4-0-1 on the season and enter the contest ranked No. 5 in the United Soccer Coaches poll, which ties the highest national ranking in program history.



Lucca Dourado leads the team with three goals while Emmanuel Bam and Saku Heiskanen each have two. The Knights have six assists on the season, coming from six different players



Juanvi Muñoz has played all five games in goal for the Knights, making 17 saves while allowing five goals.

My Disappointment with WVU Athletic Department

I am really disappointed with the West Virginia University Athletic Department's handling of something that means a great deal to me and I am sure most of the WVU fan base if they knew what was going on.

In March I purchased Sam Huff's NFL Hall of Fame ring at an auction. Since then, I have made numerous attempts to contact the WVU Athletic Department regarding the possibility of loaning this significant piece of sports history to the West Virginia Hall of Traditions.

I reached out on April 10, April 21, May 4, May 10, June 1, and most recently on August 3, but I have not received any substantial response or progress.

I believe that such an iconic piece of football history should find its rightful place within the West Virginia Hall of Traditions. I have expressed my willingness to loan the ring to the department, and yet there seems to be zero sense of urgency on their part to facilitate this important addition.

I hope that, in some manner, Sam Huff's NFL Hall of Fame ring's ends up in it rightful place within the West Virginia Hall of Traditions. I won't be initiating further contact with them. Nevertheless, should they decide to reach out to me, I would be more than willing to lend them the ring.

I'm sharing this on a public forum because I'm frustrated with how our Athletic Department has been handling this situation overall.

The Athletic Picks …..

…..West Virginia!!

Pittsburgh at West Virginia (-1), 7:30 p.m., ABC​

The atmosphere should be electric for a Backyard Brawl under the lights in Morgantown. Expectations have been low for the Mountaineers, but Pitt’s 27-21 loss to Cincinnati last week was alarming — Boston College transfer QB Phil Jurkovec, under heavy pressure, finished 10-of-32 passing for 179 yards. I’d bet against a quick fix.

West Virginia 22, Pittsburgh 17
The Pick:
West Virginia -1
