    Only Don Nehlen

    Not only do the "Ho-kies" do it, but so does "Penn-State" and Mar-Shall." I remember a joke about Marshall starting the cheer. Students were told they were going to copy PSU's "Penn-State." Took them almost the whole season to get them to drop Penn State and turn to "Mar-Shall."

    OT: What is REALLY going on in the B1G?

    The Michigan mess (much like Penn State's) are examples of the line in the Bible that the path to Heaven is narrow, but the path to Hell is wide.

    What sport did you play as a child that

    Growing up during World War II, my friends and I played a lot "Go get the Nips and Nazis." (With cap buster pistols). We stopped when a woman came out of her backdoor and screamed at us to quit shooting our guns. Our mothers told us the woman was a young German who had married a U.S. soldier...

    OT. Coaches probably moving on

    Actually becoming a regular resident of the B12 first division would be a great feat.

    Les Miles tests positive...

    Maybe he won't come to our state. Mixing coronavirus and coal dust is dangerous to outsiders.

    Oklahoma Texas

    B12 fans love offense. For the same reason, they hate Huggins' full-court press.

    This Board Is No Longer About Mountaineer Sports Talk

    Best way to ignore threads that you find make you angry is to escape as quickly as the realization strikes. I enjoy what I read on Rivals because I only read what I enjoy.

    So now we have wvu football...

    Most Americans believe black lives matter. They don't believe in the communist-leaning BLM.

    Are we, relatively, immune?

    I think it all depends on who gets in the players' ear.

    Shane Lyons discusses the reasoning behind no fans at the opener

    I read a quote from Lyons weeks ago that because of no B12 and NCAA basketball tournaments, the rainy day fund has been used up.

    New football schedule out.

    The WV Press Assn. is a guaranteed victory. There will be no game stories as all scribes will be in the hospital.

    Ok...here's an actual football...

    Look up Moss' statistics back in the '50s (with Wyant etc.) Unbelievable.
