I'm a Mountaineer! As Bob Huggins says, "We aren't afraid to play any team, any where, any time."

Well, I'm ready for the shootout with the Cowboys!

If you get my Facebook posts you'll see that I'm wearing my WVU cap, my WVU sweater, my WVU socks with The Mountaineer on them, all over my WVU collared shirt, my WVU T-shirt, my WVU underwear.

I am true blue and gold from head to toe.

And I don't give a damn about seeds. I trust my alma mater to knock off whichever team is on the floor with them, through the Big 12 tournament and March Madness.

Bring the victims on, one by one!

Do you realize what a dork you sound like given the team's performance down the stretch?

Today's game...like the close game losses...makes a mockery of your juvenile Huggins Heroes talking point lol.

********! You sound like a dork and NOT a WVU fan for taking pleasure in attacking a true blue WVU fan after a loss. What's wrong with you? A tough loss in a great, hard-fought game. A half-second sooner by McNeil and we're in OT. WVU against Top 25 teams this season has a points gap of 10 points in 13 games! Less than 1 point a game! Half-second from OT with McNeil's 3 shot. I know he feels worse than me about taking that extra bounce, which he's done all year to get open, but it meant the different between OT and losing. I AM PROUD OF THIS TEAM TODAY! And now I don't have to watch the rest of the Big 12 tournament and WVU and more importantly Culver will get a week to prep for March Madness. As Molly Brown said, We ain't down yet! Not in March Madness anyway. At times like this I think of Monty Python's determined soldier with no arms and no legs, still fighting on. I'll hug my 3 children, my 7 grandchildren and my 5 great-grandchildren and wait for WVU to begin its historic climb in March Madness that even Jerry West couldn't accomplish, even with his 38 or so points in the title game against California which brought Jerry the MVP trophy, the first time a losing player ever got it. The sun will come up tomorrow. And WVU will be well-rested for March Madness. See, ALWAYS a silver lining! We ain't down yet! And there's NO team in March Madness that wants to go through the Huggins Heroes threshing machine!

Try this on for size:

Oklahoma State’s Big 12 Player of the Year scored 17 points and WVU’s Keith “Deuce” McBride and Taz Sherman each scored 19 points to out-score Cunningham.


Derek Culver played 30 minutes despite being so ill that he could barely walk and was the last guy down the floor after a change of possession.

WVU had 13 steals to 6 for Oklahoma State. Those guys could make a living as pickpockets with their fast, smart hands.

WVU had a better free throwing shooting percentage than Oklahoma State.

Rootmaster, stop making yourself look so ignorant about basketball and so foolish. WVU played a tough, determined game against a Top 25 team, the THIRTEENTH game this season against Top 25 teams (and WVU has been scored in those 13 games by 10 points, less than 1 point a game).

You would have been the first one with the nails to hang Christ on the cross.

CFE, Is it my imagination that you were a sportswriter way back in the day, or is that true? If you were, how in the world did you keep a job? From the way you spew bias on here, you should have been an opinion writer and not a sports reporter..

It is ironic, isn't it? Even more ironic is that he's lived in the State of Ohio probably longer than you've been alive. You would think that somebody who presents himself as wealthy and the biggest WVU fan on Earth would have moved back to West Virginia by now.

Man, he must be about 100 years old then. How else could you explain his delusional remarks?

Good thing you're not the one who paid me the equivalent of $200K per year in today's buying power to be a sportswriter. As a WVU fan I am entitled to be opinionated. But I do use statistics to back me up. Like TWO Mountaineers out-scored Oklahoma State's Big 12 Player of the Year and projected #1 NBA draft pick, 19-17. WVU had 13 steals to 6 for the Sooners.

And the #1 player for WVU, Derek Culver, while playing 30 minutes, was so exhausted by his illness and pumped full of something at halftime that he was LYING on the floor next to his seat at times and yet had to run up and down the floor against a Top 25 team.

And WVU was 1 second away from sending the game into OT by our best 3-point shooter. He was forced to take the one bounce to avoid being fouled and only getting 2 shots, not enough to avoid the loss, and that one bounce cost WVU the game. NOT McNeil's fault. The fault of the clock and the Cowboy guarding McNeil who was too close for the shot without the bounce!

By the way, I originated the West Virginia High School Baseball All-State team in 1954, and was Sports Editor of the Williamson Daily News, also on the sports staffs of the Charleston Daily Mail, the Dayton Daily News and the St. Petersburg Times. Guess I fooled a lot of famous people with money, huh? And I learned a lot from my lifetime friend, Mickey Furfari, my mentor when I worked 40 hours at the Morgantown Dominion-News while taking 19 credit hours at WVU School of Journalism (only sleep I got was in class). Mickey and I exchanged phone calls every month in the final years, including the month that he passed away. Mickey and Jack Fleming are in Heaven together and on the same talent level. And I learned a lot from my father, a coal miner, about toughness. He was tougher than any athlete I've known because he survived TWO coal mine cave-ins in Monongah that rescuers had to remove 4 feet of coal before they got to any part of his body. Huggins Heroes don't know what tough is till they've matched my father's experiences.

Wow...Confused. Frustrated. Envious dug deep into his past posts and dreams to string them together into a mega posting! Doesn't make anything more truthful or believable however. Btw my father was a coal miner at consol #3 in osage. Was crushed in continuous miner nachine accident while I...after graduating from J school with honors w as off doing my thing eith the 97th BW. Yes miners are the toughest. Don't feel the need to use his memory to make my life look better though.

You have a point. My income in retirement is more than people working at my former place of work get today. It's so sad because they are good people and just as talented as me. But newspaper owners failed to get in on the ground floor of the internet. With all the people talent newspapers could have been the go-to social media sites. I feel so bad for those still stuck in the skeleton of what used to be large newspapers.

So if the newspaper people of today are as "talented as you" then that explains why nobody reads them and they are failing.
