PRE-GAME RUN THRU: PURPLE KANSAS EDITION - 10/20/2012 1:00:00 AM
It was a jarring thing we saw last week. A performance that ranked among the worst 3 or 4 of the last quarter-century of WVU football and a previously unflappable Heisman candidate reduced to a frustrated shell of his former self. But it wasn’t as bad as it looked and I’m not ready to dismiss five weeks of evidence that showed us this is a WVU team th ... More

Guns Up - 10/11/2012 9:30:50 AM
The Mountaineers liked their trip to Texas so well, they decided to visit again this Saturday. That's probably not the case but when you're in the Big 12, the Lonestar State becomes like your back yard. This trip is a little different. Gone is 6th Street, the bars, the restaurants, the Godzillatron, the eclectic Austin vibe, and in its stead is the blustery plains of West Texas. ... More
