Hey CFE - WVU in top 25

[xgunnx]

I told you that after the Kansas game. That if WVU has a convincing and overwhelming win @ KS that The Mountaineers would break into top 25. The Mountaineers are in at number 23 in the AP poll. I'm going to go on to say if WVU beats TCU then a top 15 is next. Also CFE you keep up those positive vibe post(s) unlike others I enjoy them at times.

I don't know about "convincing and overwhelming" in the Kansas game. It was more like survival training. But it was the widest margin of victory by any Big 12 team on a day of being scared poopless by teams like Baylor and Houston. I'll take it. Maybe we can climb higher during our bye week? Which is what I thought Kansas was going to be.

Thanks for the compliment. I think,.

I'm just having so much fun with my alma mater. And posters who know so much less about football than I do, as their professional expert giving them the benefit of my brilliance free.

Grier, Simms, Sills, Crawford have me giddy.

Now if Tony Gibson can keep enough defenders healthy to make me joyous when WVU does NOT have the ball I'll think I died and went to Almost Heaven.


M angy special teams + absence of Simms & Long = loss to Virginia Tech, 31-24

O bliterated East Carolina, 56-20

U nhinged Delaware State, 59-16

N ot pretty but we’ll take it, over Kansas, 56-34

T errorize TCU

A nnihilate Texas Tech

I ncinerate Baylor

N ullify Oklahoma State

E rectile dysfunction Iowa State

E masculate Kansas State

R eam Texas

S hock Oklahoma

The compliment is legit. Some of your positive vibe post are enjoyable.

This bye week is important so much needs worked on and tweaked.

Unlike some though I believe Kansas is a very solid football team this year. They are comparable to a real good G5 team.

The best thing about this bye week is that maybe Tony Gibson can get the defense healed enough to handle TCU and Texas Tech. It should be too really amazing shootouts, Big 12 style. I'll be in Mountaineer Field for the Red Raiders game, as I always am. If you're in the neighborhood we sit in Section 107, Row 36.

And, depending on kickoff time, we'll be having our dinner at Longhorn Steakhouse on University Town Centre Hill in Granville (faux Morgantown). Join us if you're coming to the game.

When kickoff time is announced I'll know what time we're eating at Longhorn Steakhouse on the University Town Centre hill and I'll let you know. By the way, I'm a graduate of the same high school as Nick Saban (Monongah High). He was quarterback of the 1968 team that won the state title, one of 5 state football titles and one baseball title by little ol' Monongah High.

Not to worry, though, because I won't be bringing my live tiger with me. He's in Thailand where I left him. To see him and me, click on the blue

Thanks for posting your blog. I enjoyed reading it. Though I don’t agree with many of your opinions, I was able to gain much respect for you as a person, and congratulate you on a fulfilling career, and lifetime dedication to being a faithful fan. 200 plus game streak of never missing one. That's an amazing feat to pull off, particularly when you have to travel a distance.

If it a funny thing, we scored 56 points and I thought the playing calling from the 2nd to 3rd quarter was atrocious, and as bad as the D played it was the 5 WVU drives that ended in 3 punts and 1 turnover that allowed KU back into the game

Appreciate it. I just enjoy my Mountaineers, and life, so much that I pinch myself every day about how lucky I am. You can check my bruise marks if we ever meet.

"That is Mickey. He’s a legend in West Virginia, but he has an “aw, shucks, I’m nobody special” attitude about it. Yeah, right, Mickey."

That was truly Mickey. I really enjoyed talking to Mickey a couple times a week during my three year stint at the university. He was the consummate professional that had a humble presence like none other.

Having dealt with several of the beat writers and seeing their antics over the years (*one in specific enjoyed his uh...."escorts" at the Metro pool hall every week, drinking to the point of having to be carried out*), I always held Mickey in high regard. You could do a lot worse in life than calling Mickey a friend.


*I should have prefaced this with: I'm not judging, that's way above my pay grade. Instead, it was just an example of what I said about "antics".*

Those on this board who never met Mickey were so off-base in their hatred toward him later in life. Did he go off the deep end at times? Sure. But he and I disagreed via phone every month and Mickey NEVER got angry about it. His response always was: "That's alright. You don't have to agree with me. But we can still be friends." And we were, right up till his death. We'll get together in Mountaineer Heaven some day and argue and hug each other again. Fantastic human being, Mickey Furfari. He sure helped me when I needed it the most.

Mickey was misunderstood quite a bit....or maybe misinterpreted is a better word. Many interpreted his criticism as hatred without ever having known the man himself. Mickey, so far as I knew, didn't have an ounce of hate anywhere in his body. Obviously, you knew him far better than I and for much longer but, you didn't have to know him intimately to know who he was and where he stood.

Just about everything anyone ever needed to know about Mr. Furfari, could have been learned simply by standing quietly in a corner on press day. The way he was respected and regarded by his fellow winters would tell the tale.

Happy to see them back in the top 25. Very little in the KU game seemed convincing. WVU was the highest rated non-ranked team in both polls and at least 2 lost and fell out so it was only natural to see them move back in.
