I’ve never seen a broadcast like this for an NCAA game. What would they have done if WVU won? No sideline reports about WVU, no human interest stories or anecdotes about WVU, seemingly no background knowledge of WVU players. I get it’s the top scorer at home, but that was bad.

Passed out some WVU sports photos to an elementary school class today. One kid is jumping up and down yelling, “David Sills! I got David Sills!” He holds up the photo. It’s Jevon Carter.
Close enough.

The day before game day has a feeling in Morgantown. Businesses and hotels are preparing for increased customers, vendor tents start setting up near the stadium, traffic patterns adjust for tens of thousands of fans to arrive. There’s an air to it. WVU Football is back.

I wanted to save any comments about the Neal Brown hire until after his introductory press conference at WVU, but I probably learned more about him in this clip saying goodbye to Troy. The Mountaineers are getting a good one.
An emotional @NealBrown_WVU addressed Trojan Nation at halftime of today's men's basketball game ...
"From my family and I, I thank you, thank you so much, God bless and Go Troy."

My wife, a 1st grade teacher, spent her weekend creating & recording online lessons for her students. It’s after 7 pm, and she’s on a video chat, checking in on her students one by one, as she has all day. She, and other teachers, have always amazed me, maybe never more than now.

These kids could have thrown in the towel a few weeks ago and we would have understood. Instead, they fought. They bonded. They learned. They grew. They had fun. We did, too. What once looked bleak now looks bright. #WVU

I didn’t know that college baseball wasn’t all Hawley Field and empty seats until WVU joined the Big 12. When that happened, I didn’t understand how they’d ever compete. Or how Mazey would sustain surprising early success. Or how they’d fill a new ballpark. And now here we are.

The last time @WVUBaseball played for a Big 12 title, they flew home only to learn they’d be staying home. This time, they should be staying home again, but three other teams will join them in Morgantown. Unreal. What a job Randy Mazey has done with this program.

Huggins told the students to run down their hallways, banging on doors, and "yell and scream and tell them to get their ass out there tonight."
It’s not every day you get to hang out with a future Hall of Fame coach, but that’s exactly what our students just got to do at the Mountainlair! 🤩
Let's give @CoachHuggs and @WVUhoops the nation's best home court advantage tonight!

This guy has been a real asset to the WVU football team and to the University community as a whole. I’m glad he chose to spend these years in Morgantown and that he will forever be a Mountaineer. Always a pleasure.
William Crest Jr. has been the epitome of a team player over his last five seasons with the Mountaineers. After joining the Mountaineers as a quarterback, he has spent the last two seasons as a wide receiver. Will has already graduated with his bachelor’s degree. Thank you Will!

One game at a time, of course, but a note:
With a trip to the Final Four, Jevon Carter would tie Da’Sean Butler for the most wins in #WVU program history. An appearance or a win in the title game would make Carter the winningest Mountaineer ever.
