I can't believe it!!!


Just for those of you who do not know, I live with a WV Mountaineer and it has been a dark month with her team losing to Pitt (and missing the National Championship) and then losing their coach! I have to admit, my hopes were not high for her team tonight against OU, but man.....did they ever show up!!! It was the picture of everything that is right with college athletics....Heart! These guys played with passion, resilience, urgency and most of all pride!! No one thought they had a chance but them and boy did they believe!!!

I am a die-hard Tech fan, but tonight I couldn't help but pull for the 'eers.....! Congrats to Pat White, Noel Devine, Owen Schmitt and the "interim" Coach Bill Stewart.......who is going to make it really hard to not name him the new head coach!! What more can you want - the players love him and he loves them and seems to inspire them!!

Way to go WVU - maybe Tech can pull off a big one like this next year!! Of course, no one else will belong in the Dawg universe going into next year!
