While it’s true that foot­ball these days is a 12-month busi­ness, it’s also true that things tend to slow down a bit this time of year. 
On the col­lege front the sea­son has now been in the books since early Janu­rary and sign­ing date is already a fad­ing mem­ory.  What that all trans­lates into is, out­side of a few […]

The Prophecy is coming!

Queen Car­i­oca has been iso­lated in the mys­ti­cal soli­tude of her tent for two full weeks in antic­i­pa­tion of Super Bowl XLIV.  She hasn’t eaten, she hasn’t slept and she’s been tak­ing notes and study­ing more game film of these two teams than Pey­ton Man­ning on speed.
What­ever prophecy she is cook­ing up in that shad­owy abode of her’s is certainly […]

Super Bowl Myths

They get recy­cled and rehashed every year about this time.  We’ve all heard them.  Heck, maybe you’ve even per­pet­u­ated one or two of them your­self.  They are Super Bowl myths…One more of the many things that make Super Sun­day unlike any other day in sports.

A Show of Hands!

Another Sign­ing Day come and gone!  I spent lunch time at Moun­taineer Field Wednes­day gath­er­ing recruit­ing updates from every­one from Head Coach Bill Stew­art to Direc­tor of Foot­ball Oper­a­tions Mike Mon­toro. 
By the time I walked in much of the heavy lift­ing was over, but the phones were still abuzz with fol­low up calls from recruits […]

Senior-itis

A few quick shots about Saturday’s Senior Bowl:

Florida’s Tim Tebow never got on track.  Tebow con­nected on 8 of 12 throws for 50 yards, but his longest com­ple­tion was for only 11 yards.  The for­mer Florida Gator rushed for only four yards on four car­ries and fum­bled twice.  Over­all Tebow appeared unable to adjust to […]

Can Lightning Strike Twice?

Until last sea­son, a West Vir­ginia Uni­ver­sity quar­ter­back had never even played in the Senior Bowl  (4pm Sat­ur­day on NFL Net­work) held annu­ally in Mobile, Alabama…A game widely regarded as the crèam of the col­lege all-star crop.
