Hump Day: Don’t Call It A Comeback…

…hump day been here for years.
For this hump day, we’re going to get in the WBGV Wayback Machine and go back to a kinder and simpler time: the age when Britney Spears was hot. Sure, the train wreck that is today’s Britney Spears is fun and all, but I still reminisce fondly back [...]

The Revolution Will Be Televised (On Versus)

A couple months ago, as some of you may remember, I officially launched my grassroots campaign for Athletic Director of WVU. It was always going to be an uphill battle, but as a simple country boy — you might say a cockeyed optimist — I figured I had as good a chance as any.
You [...]

The Check Actually Was In The Mail

In an almost stunning turn of events — considering our recent track record with this sort of thing — John Beilein sent WVU a check for $290,000. This represented the first installment of the $1.5 million he owes the school due to his contract buyout.
Beilein made the first payment “under protest” and again expressed [...]

We’ve Gone Facebook

In another attempt to reach every Mountaineer fan on the planet, WBGV has setup our official home on Facebook. So far, we have about 6 friends/fans, which pretty much sums up our lives in junior high school.
Anyways….if you’re on Facebook, look us up. If we get a ton of fans, we might do [...]

Dougity Dog: Devine Intervention

When Noel Devine was in high school, his highlight reel was the stuff of legend. Millions of people watched his YouTube videos in complete awe of his skills.
Well, ladies and gentlemen, this newest epic by Dougity Dog becomes the college compliment to Devine’s high school glory. And if you think this is good, [...]

Word of the Day: ATTACKLE

I love Head Coach Bill Stewart. Really, love. L-O-V-E.
Is it because he’s a good coach? Nope. Is it because he’s a nice guy? Nope. Is it because he’s not Rich Rodriguez? Close, but still no. It’s because he’s the best public speaker since Patrick Henry.
Seriously, watch this [...]

Best Recruiting Class in Mountaineer History

We mean that. This 2009 class will be the best group of players West Virginia has ever brought into school. Already this year, we have gotten verbal committments (yeah, yeah, worth as much as the paper they’re written on) from enough fantastic players to make a lot of former classes. And it’s [...]

I’m A Big Boy Now!

Well, it is about to happen. I never thought this day would come but I’m about to do something I’ve never done. I’ve thought about it many times and always wondered what it would feel like. No, I won’t be getting to have sex with a woman that is awake. I’m [...]

The Gold-Blue Game Happened

Well, color me pleasantly surprised. Between the beautiful weather, huge crowd (at least by WVU standards), and general lack of interest in the on-field action, the Gold-Blue Game was a complete success.

Gold-Blue Game NOT Blue-Gold

Saturday, April 19, 2008 will go down in history as the start of something great. It is the unveiling of this new fangled offense that will put the new era of Mountaineer Football in motion. Do you want to miss it? Hell no, so get your ass to Mountaineer Field to see the [...]

Mulling on Mullen

I’m about to write what many in Mountaineer country will consider blasphemy, but…I’m not sold on Jeff Mullen, and am fearful of an offensive collapse.
And it’s not like my normal fear of the unknown, like kissing a girl. It’s more like, Dave Wannstedt giving me mustachio grooming advise, or Marcus Vick babysitting my teenage sister, [...]

The Emergence of Will Johnson

Since 2001, passing at Mountaineer Field has been few and far between. Really, only Chris Henry could be considered a star receiver under Rich Rodriguez. On a lesser scale, Miquelle Henderson and Brandon Myles had some success at the position. And occaisionally, Travis Garvin would make a catch in space and run [...]

The Pro Prospects of Joe Alexander

When there’s news involving WVU basketball, Joe Alexander, and the NBA, there’s only one person we thought to ask to evaluate the situation. Well, he was busy, so Stiles is filling in. Take it away, Stiles…
With news of Joe Alexander declaring for the NBA Draft, but not hiring an agent, let’s take a [...]

Party Like It’s 2009

We’re barely three days from the national championship and already early 2008-09 top 25 lists are being rolled out. Want to know how WVU is being perceived after the surprise Sweet 16 run? Well, you won’t have to scroll too far in most rankings, considering we’re damn near the top.

WBGV, Dougity Dog Announce Partnership

You might remember Dougity Dog as the man behind basically every great West Virginia YouTube classic. (You might also remember WBGV as people who watched and [...]
