[QUOTE="Cuyahoga Falls Eers_rivals, post: 131633594, member: 1759980"] 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).

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.
