Orange Crush

It’s a great day to be a Mountaineer, where ever you may be! Amazing game to watch. Proud of our team! So glad to see them prove so much of the nation wrong by going out and beating up on Clemson.

A hint of promise

I’ll admit it: I’m not the biggest baseball fan in the nation. But, I do enjoy watching the Pirates play when I get the chance, usually on ROOT Sports. This year I did make it to two games in Pittsburgh, however, and it’s a fun atmosphere at PNC Park.

There was a hint of progress in Pittsburgh, at least early on in the season, and it’s difficult to look at an entire season and pinpoint one game that defined it, but I would say the 19-inning loss to Atlanta back in July was the beginning of the end. But it was nice to see the Pirates back on top, even if only for a few days.

In this video, some of the Pirates thank the fans for their support. We look forward to seeing more from them in 2012!

More than just a game

Ryan and I went to see the Harlem Globetrotters strut their stuff at the WVU Coliseum in Morgantown on Monday.

I had never seen the Globetrotters in person, but I’ve probably seen them do their routines on TV 50 times. I think what we saw on Monday was probably the same Globetrotter material they’ve performed for the past twenty years (at least).

Of course there are some new wrinkles, like Globie’s music. But I think I’ve seen Globetrotter football many times before; it never gets old.

It was great to hear Ryan laugh at the fun stuff and even get concerned when “Handles” starts playing for the Generals. I think he saved his biggest laugh for “Big G” smacking the ground repeatedly and generally just flipping around in a goofy fashion.

It was just nice to sit and enjoy watching a game where no one was concerned about the final score. The game was more than a game… It was an event.

Touchdown, West Virginia!

Well, it’s almost football season again. I’m planning on trying to get to the first Mountaineer game of the season this year. It’s often hard to get tickets, so we’ll see.

In the meantime, here’s a (future) highlight video from EA’s NCAA Football 2010:

The commercial

Awesome DisneyWorld commercial starring Santonio Holmes and Ben Roethlisberger:

What a game! Congrats Steelers!

Steelers 27

Final

Wow! An amazing finish… Congratulations Steelers, and Mike Tomlin, now the youngest coach ever to win a Super Bowl!

I was actually able to enjoy the game in HD this year. I can pick up my local NBC via an antenna. Holy Cow! I just caught a glimpse of the file size of that recording! 30GB!

Well, I won’t be recording too much HD… When the recording actually stops I’ll add a screen grab in here…

HD very helpful in determining foot-worthyness…

It’s all White

Man, that was an exciting game this evening. But it was nice of Mother Nature to get in on the act, adding a little White snow into the mix.

West Virginia held on by the skin of their teeth to win 13-7 over South Florida.

So that means that WVU ends the season at 8-4. Not what we were wishing for when the year started. A couple of close losses in there that could’ve gone either way, and you have to win those. But it was nice to end the regular season with a win.

I wish Pat White much success at the next level. I’m not sure if I would support the discussion that I heard on ESPN tonight about “retiring” Pat’s #5. Of course, only time will really tell whether that honor is truly deserved. He would have to attain success in the NFL, I think, so it’s too early to comment on that.

Speaking of White, look outside. Well, if you live around here anyway. It’s white. ‘Cause of snow. Not a lot of it out there… just enough to mess up the roads. I hope everyone is careful leaving the stadium tonight.

Good night and keep warm.
