Sure, I’ll have posts about what a player’s injury could mean for the season or a general team-related story, but they’ll mostly be about my game experiences.

Our Mountaineers finally hit the proverbial wall Nov. 8, falling flat on the road in Austin. From the first kickoff, they had me as jumpy as spit on a hot skillet. They looked as haggard and lethargic as I’ve seen them this season, trailing at the half 24-3. They woke up a little in the […]Read More »Mountaineers outmatch Cowboys, 34-10

Dave and I were in Freehold, NJ, for a wedding last Saturday, so we missed watching the Mountaineers defeat the Jayhawks.
