    Will Grier is a Mountaineer!**

    You're awfully sensitive for someone who delights in being sarcastic.

    Does anybody else think the UNC situation....

    Then here's this: http://collegebasketball.ap.org/wvgazette/article/former-so-miss-coach-tyndall-hit-10-year-show-cause Now, I really don't know enough about either USM/Tyndall or UNC/Williams, to suggest Williams deserves the same punishment, but what are the odds Williams gets even a...

    Wow, way to go out on a limb there Orlaco.

    Does anybody else think the UNC situation....

    Sure UNC will get sanctions, but will it get sanctions commensurate with the seriousness of the conduct and the duration for which it persisted? Generally, the worst sanctions come following a finding of "lack of institution control" (which is a somewhat Orwellian euphemism used to describe...

    Question

    With some I might have thought the improper use of "condom" instead of the correct "condone" was just a very lame joke. Here though, considering the source cited and the content, I think it's unfortunately feeding the illiterate redneck stereotype. Please stop.

    WVSPORTS.COM Smallwood and Worley likely to have decision to turn pro validated

    If I had to put money down, I'd say yes for Smallwood, no for Worley.

    Big12 basketball Overrated?

    When you look at the seed the Big 12 received and compare it to the performance, by definition, it was overrated. Kansas was seeded to the championship game and lost in the E8. WVU seeded to the E8, lost in the round of 64 Texas seeded to the 2nd round lost in the round of 64 Baylor ditto...

    Worse beatdown: 2015 UK vs. WVU or 2016 OU vs. Villa?

    I think the overall talent disparity between us and UK was far greater than the disparity between Nova and OU. We didn't so much collapse as provoke an onslaught we were not capable of handling. We would have needed to play our best, UK its worst-- and get a lot of luck to have won. OU beat...

    WVSPORTS.COM REVISED: Early look at the 2016-17 WVU hoops season

    Guessing 5 Macon/ Watkins or Konate 4 Adrian/ Bender or West 3 Ahmad/ ??? 3 guards when he's out, or 2 of the "4s" at the same time? 2 Miles/Carter/ Harler/ Meyers 1 Phillip/ Bolden/Carter

    Randy Mazey treats midweek games like scrimmages

    Not defending Mazey, but I question how much help the new park will be for recruiting, no matter who is the coach. It's nice, but it's in Morgantown. It won't change the weather and baseball is pretty much the most weather dependent sport...

    WVSPORTS.COM WVU hoops season in review

    I agree with the article and the "awards." My take is that WVU overachieved in the regular season, particularly in the conference. Sweeping ISU and Baylor was no small accomplishment and beating Kansas, anywhere, any time is big. The home loss to Texas was really the ONLY blemish and for a...

    Huggins is VERY Overrated

    With UK, it would be more accurate to state "perfected" or "improved" rather than " instituted."

    Huggins is VERY Overrated

    At some point, don't we need to disclose where we think Huggins is rated as a coach before we label him over, under or appropriately rated. Some things are not ratings, but simply objective numbers. Number of wins would be a prime example. I don't think many people that coaches should be...

    So Is TCU Now A Contender In BBall ??

    I think it was 4-7 in the Big East. Huggs might bring that to .500 or better in the next couple of years. I do think Dixon will elevate TCU some. I also think that if Dixon makes TCU a contender any time soon or more than once every 4 years or so after that, he will deserve to be considered a...

    Lol @ Baylor

    Upsets happen, but when a conference loses a significant number of "upset" or "even" games against teams from other conferences, it becomes rather foolish not to view that as a strong indication the conference is overrated. The big 12 was most definitely overrated last year in both football...

    Actually, we have a pretty easy path to the Elite 8

    The path is the kind that a team that EARNED a #3 seed is supposed to get.

    Lol @ Baylor

    Something is definitely going on at Baylor, but at least no one has been shot this time.

    Cost Of Attending Big 12 Tourney ??

    Well, you could do it a lot cheaper than that. First , you could drive and gas is cheap now. If I took my good mileage car, it would be a little over $100 for roundtrip gas. Stay at a budget motel a short drive away and it's more like $400 for lodging. Split those 2 ways, and your each only in...

    I think it's time for Huggins to start Phillip over Carter

    I think the response to you was based on you closing by asking the question: "Can Phillip run the point?" Which does strike as an odd question because he has been doing it all season and it's reasonable to think people who watch us play would know that. Your " I think" had no discernible...

    Just when I was started to like Dana (a little)

    I don't blame Dana for not taking the offer. I certainly don't blame WVU for wisely not making him a more favorable offer. From Dana's standpoint, unless he truly believed it was likely WVU will be good enough in 2016 that at the very least he would be allowed to return in 2017, taking the...
