C’est la vie

That’s life as a Mountaineer fan. If it’s the big game, chances are, they’ll find a way to lose.

It happened in the first Big East game against Georgetown, in Dec. of ’95. It happened again the next year against Georgetown in January of ’97. The Hoyas repeated the act again in the Big East Tourney in 2000, at G’town in 2003, and now, you can add 2008 to the list of last second losses.

Hoya Saxa… And Other Jibberish

If you want to read a preview of tonight’s game against Georgetown, I would advise you not to read on. Seriously, stop reading. Instead, go here, here, or even here. Once there, reputable journalists will tell you all you think you need to know about Georgetown.

But if you want the real truth, you listen to me.

That Sound You Hear? Me Yelling “Holy Shit!”

Tonight, the CBH-led Mountaineers host the #9 ranked Georgetown Hoyas. A tall task, indeed. Well, apparently not all that tall as the Mountaineers are a 2.5 point favorite. Well color me surprised — and Caucasian. But mostly surprised.

We’ll be back later today with a full preview of this prime-time, nationally-televised, awesomely-awesome game. It’ll be rad, or whatever the kids are saying these days.
