whatever is the opposite of the Midas touch, J.D. Vance has it

I can tell y'all are never far from the weeds of the Belichick stuff from the fact you spelled MJ's last name as "Jordon" here

(this is meant to be tongue-in-cheek and not me being an asshole)

Gotta feel for the Artemis crew, only getting a few hours to hold the record as the humans to reach furthest into space.

West Virginia’s fourth coach in four years took maybe the worst roster on paper in America’s toughest conference to a .500 league record, squarely on the bubble til late February, and won a postseason title to get $300K in NIL cash.

Wren Baker knows ball.

when you hire a well-known asshole and he acts like an asshole

The 21st rifle national championship for WVU. Still the only team sport in which WVU has ever won a national title.

Every time this happens, I’m reminded how mind-blowingly stupid it was that the AD dropped the sport for budgetary reasons in the early ‘00s.

this is a big blaring "we're hiring Jarrod Calhoun so we have a Huggs disciple" sign

Has more spine than the entire current first team

The super Trumpy NC Senate president pro tempore lost his primary by two (2!) votes out of more than 26,000

could do a version of this same thing for a lot of years over the last decade!

The 2009-10 West Virginia team is the one that got the big prizes -- won the Big East title game instead of losing it, made the Final Four rather than losing in the Elite Eight -- but damn if that 2004-05 team will forever hold my heart. They were everything West Virginia imagines itself to be.

This was like midway through the Big East slate, so fairly late in the year. Pittsnogle's eventual meme-level emergence ("you just got Pittsnogled!") was not expected -- and D'or was a total force.

One of the biggest "they might be good" wins of Beilein's 2004-05 Elite 8 season was at home against a good Pitt team. D'or missed the game, so Pittsnogle had to start, and the prevailing thought at the time was "damn, we have no chance with Pittsnogle instead of D'or."

boy oh boy, ugly crying over here with the Goudreau kids on the ice

let no one say it can’t be done, ever again

Chambliss on a level of heater I’m not sure I’ve ever seen from a college QB

I walked out of the theater the night I saw it however many years ago and said to my wife “I think that may be the second best Star Wars movie,” and I still feel that way. Maybe the Disney slop context is real, but didn’t need Andor or the passage of time. It’s a great story, and it’s told well.

lmao what is Narduzzi smoking?

Pitt moneyline was +120 prior to kickoff. It’s -3000 at the end of the first quarter. That’s an exceptional level of ass kicking.

Haynes King point shaving?

Marcus Caldeira just had one of the most unbelievable individual performances I’ve seen in soccer, and capped it off with a jaw dropping solo effort golden goal for a hat trick … West Virginia men should have been dead to rites multiple times and Caldeira just took over.

absolutely love Wake Forest rubbing Carolina’s nose in it after that needless timeout with a garbage time TD

tough taking this one when there were so many blown chances … but these last four games have shown how good Rich is. so obviously limited in talent, and they’ve gone 2-2 with both losses being close, valiant efforts. evaluate talent against Texas Tech, then go load up for 2026.

we coming.

OH MY GODDDD

Beating a top 15 team is cool. Beating a top 15 team when you literally couldn’t make a substitution for the whole second half because your entire bench got ejected … that’s badass. Well done, West Virginia women’s hoops.

West Virginia on its fourth coach in the last four seasons is bad, but Pitt keeping Jeff Capel for those same four seasons may be worse.

that is one of the most insane catches in the history of this sport

Just mind-blowing that this stat is real. These have been some lean years.

DEACS!!
