[old buzzard]

WVMetranews - 4-1-17 - Charleston, WV

Governor Jim Justice, with WVU Athletic Director Shane Lyons and Marshall AD Mike Hamric, in a joint press conference at the Governors Mansion announced this morning that WVU and Marshall will once again face one another in both major sports.

Justice said, "Since taking office in January getting this done has been one of my top priorities. Finally after a couple of months of talking with both sides we have reached an agreement that will revive the series between the only two Division 1 programs in our state, and this time it will be fair to both sides."

Justice revealed that the first matchup will be in football on Labor Day weekend in 2018 in Huntington. In the following years the series will continue every Labor Day weekend and alternate between Huntington and Morgantown, under the name of the "Wild and Wonderful Bowl" in honor of the state's tourism industry.

The two basketball programs will meet again in Huntington on Thanksgiving Day 2018 and in Morgantown on New Years Day 2019, and all games in the future will be played on the same holidays every year of the agreement until it expires after the 2030 season.

Marshall AD Mike Hamrick said " We are delighted to finally have WVU back on our schedule under these fair and balanced terms. This is a great day for our fans, our alumni, and our athletes.It means so much in terms of ticket sales for both schools and with all the hooplah certain to surround this series, it's good for the state too."

WVU AD Shane Lyons commented, "It's time to bury the hatchet and get this thing done once and for all. We've got tons of fans all over the state and by playing in Huntington it will allow people from the south western region to see us play who could not easily travel to Morgantown. This is going to be fun for everyone and help ease the tensions between fans of the two schools since we stopped playing. Being that this agreement last until 2030 it should allow this to develop into a true rivalry."

Other details are that the buy outs with other programs that are already scheduled will be personally paid by Gov. Justice. There will be a Wild and Wonderful themed trophy that will travel each year to with the winning football team. The basketball series will be called the Greenbrier Classic. Negotiations for television coverage are still in the works but it is expected that WSAZ, WOAY, WTRF, and WBOY will broadcast all games as well as WWPX in the eastern panhandle.

Justice also announced that should the legislature pass the 2 cent per bottle increase in the sugary drink tax that he will earmark all the new revenue to benefit the Marshall athletic department. "The one cent soft drink tax currently in place benefits only the WVU Medical School. In the meantime the WVU athletic department enjoys a $34 million windfall from the Big XII while Marshall has seen its payout from CUSA fall to a scant 200 thousand. Dedicating the monies from the tax increase on sugary drinks would be a tremendous aid in helping Marshall keep up with the growing disparity in athletic funds available to them."

What I find amusing, after a day of hanging out and having fun with the one I've loved for many years, you decide to come up with perhaps the lamest April fool's joke of all time. Albeit, you're an old, decrepit fool, but it doesn't end there. We have yet another old, decrepit fool that not only likes your stupid post, but yet finds it within himself to add even more stupidity to the original post.

Bottom line, the April fools joke is on you two embicles for trading April reach around on one another.

Oh they got it ole pal, once they scrolled down to the bottom and realized they'd been had. Up til then they were creaming their jeans.

there's the old michigan herd that we love and own every day....how's your golf game loser?

 

[old buzzard]

......... after a day of hanging out and having fun with the one I've loved for many years..........

So who had to sleep on the wet spot - you or tOSU ??????????

........you're an old, decrepit fool......

Says the guy in such poor shape that a round of golf lays him up for a couple of days. Maybe you can find a golf cart with power steering and a hydraulic lift to help you get in and out of it.

Bottom line, the April fools joke is on you

You fell for it hook, line, and sinker.

It has recently come to my attention that an ignored member on this board can't spell, "imbecile". Here's a simple guide, there are two "e's" and two "i's" in imbecile. Imbecile as you can see, starts with an "i". Diagnostic proof of imbecility is when the subject attempts to spell the word and begins it with an "e". The proper use of the word would be in a simple sentence such as this, "That Elmore kid has to an imbecile to think he's ready for the NBA."

I hope this clears things up. If you have any further questions please feel free to ask.

[Y.A.G Si Ye Nots]

It has recently come to my attention that an ignored member on this board can't spell, "imbecile".

There shouldn't be a comma after "spell." Further, the end quotation mark should go outside of the period.

Here's a simple guide, there are two "e's" and two "i's" in imbecile

This should be two sentences. There needs to be a period after "guide" instead of a comma. Better yet, a colon would be more appropriate. The comma is definitely wrong.

The proper use of the word would be in a simple sentence such as this, "That Elmore kid has to an imbecile to think he's ready for the NBA."

The word "this" should be eliminated. Also, there is no need to give an example of how to use the word in a sentence. The poster spelled it incorrectly, but his use of it was correct.You also left out the word "be" in your example.

Strangely, you put the end quotation mark outside of the period this time which is different than the previous times. Good guess. You were right this time.

You may not be an imbecile, but you are definitely a moron.

This is golden. I'm not sure whether I should mock you for taking the time to be critical of a poster you supposedly have on 'ignore', or if I should expend a few minutes making fun of you for your piss poor grammar.

There's nothing I find more amusing than a moron who attempts to be critical of another person, while making a complete jackass of himself when doing so.

Wrong. A semicolon should have been used. A semicolon is used to link two main clauses without a coordinating conjunction.

I agree.

 

[Y.A.G Si Ye Nots]

How are you so stupid to continue challenging me on things?


"Semicolons separate things. ... For example, you can use either a semicolon or a colon to join two main clauses . . . "

Common grammar rules allow both semicolons and colons to be used to join two main causes. Why use a colon, like I claimed, instead of a semicolon? It's because it isn't just two main clauses being used but also introducing something. Here, let me help you with that rule:


"Rule 1a. Use a colon to introduce an item or a series of items."

And to drive the point home even more . . .


"A colon means 'that is to say' or 'here's what I mean.'"

That's exactly what the poster was doing. He was joining two main clauses, he was introducing something, and it was used as a placer for "here's what I mean."

Really, how can you be so dumb to continue challenging me - somebody far more intelligent than you - on things? Each time, you get embarrassed. Do you get your English lessons from the U.S. Track & Field website?

Seems that the grammar police are out in full force today. Maybe they don't realize that no one presents their dissertation for a doctorate degree on a sports smack board. But, I guess when grammar smack is the best you can come up with you gotta run with it. Now tell me how uneducated I am because I used the word "gotta".

Your side started it first. Then, your side made it worse by an incorrect and failed attempt at claiming I had something wrong.

I have no problem with slang usage such as "gotta'." I do have a problem with you not using gotta' with the accent to show that you aren't a typical wvu fan who doesn't realize it is slang. Further, I have an issue with you still not putting the end quotation outside of "gotta" even though I already called out somebody for making that mistake in this thread.

I can tell you the correct way to do things, but I can't help it if you're too stupid to understand.

You really are too stupid to realize that your side was the one responsible for the grammar smack, huh? That was the reason I responded with it to him.

Oh, and you need a comma before "Grammar Queen."

[Y.A.G Si Ye Nots]

And you are too stupid to realize that I'm making fun of YOU and your grammar smack, your Highness.

In doing so, you are wiping out two of your own. Since your own started the grammar smack and another had a failed attempt at it, the collateral damage was at least twice the amount done to me. That's not a great strategy, moron.

You are really bad at this.

You are right............you own the title of Grammar Queen hands down. Too bad your smack game sucks so much your Highness.

So, you call someone else a Grammar Queen, but yet, you're over on the main board mocking others?

This game will defiantly definitely be a test for Fluffer Holgorsen. He barely beat a weak Byu team with a rookie coach at a neutral site. Vatech is more accomplished than Byu. Fluffer Holgorsen hasn't won a big game in 3 years and god knows the last time he beat a ranked team someplace other than Morgantown. History does not bode well for Wvu in this one.

FIFY

Seems like you're the Queen, in more ways than one, if you know what I mean...

From the comments I can see, it looks like someone I can't see had a full scale meltdown. I wish I'd seen it. Damn that ignore feature!
