The Mountaineer Experience!

Went on my West Virginia adventure last weekend and I must say they really know how to do the football experience down there. The trip was long, but it was worth it. A parade through the center of town with the marching band and cheerleaders, an epic tailgate and the most intense and friendly crowd I've ever been around.

This was the parade, everyone is cheering and hanging out having a couple cocktails.

 

Here's where it really got good. We arrived at the tailgate around 9 and met up with a group that had been there since 7. Awesome people.. everyone was was friendly and generous.

Here's a game shot. Imaging 65,000 people all screaming at the top of their lungs. 

Coaching top 10

OK, so i'm new to the blog game but figured this would be a good one to throw out for my first post.   Here is my list of the top ten college coaches.  I'm not talking about you need to win one game and you need a coach for that game.  I'm talking about building a winning program... the whole bag.  Here we go:

10) Frank Beamer  - always has a good program, usually a ten win team.  Clean program and consistent over the years.

9) Mike Dantone - I like what hes done at Michigan State.  I think they are really a program on the rise.

8) Brian Kelly -  Hasen't done it yet but I think this guy is LEGIT.   Going to turn ND back into a top ten program, which is a real accomplishment considering they have standards for who they let on campus.

7) Lane Kiffen - I hate this guy.  And I think hes dirty.  But that being said, he has USC as the favorite to win the national championship the first year coming off sanctions. Guy is getting the job done.

6) Bob Stoops - competes for it all year in and year out.  Solid recruiter, somehow program is clean. I would want him running my team.

5) Pete Carrol - see Lane Kiffen, except Pete has national championships under his belt.  He was smart enough to get out of town and leave Kiffen with the mess too.  Job well done.

4) Chip Kelly -  Runs a cutting edge program.  A real innovator.  Guy is going to have Oregon competing for the crystal football for years.

3) Urban Meyer -  Dude can coach and dude can win.  Four years ago he would be #1 on this list but his health problems and what not take him down a couple notches.

2) Les Miles - THE MAD HATTER.  Love this guys swag and the way he rolls.  Has the hardware to back it up.  team is always a monster

1) Nick Saben - year in and year out dude competes for it all.  Half the time he wins it all.  Has done it with two programs and just smashed Michigan to start the season.  Dude runs the program every other team wants. 

Penn State Is Limp!

I anxiously watched the Penn State opening game expecting to see these players come out flying around and restore some dignity to a battered program. These kids didn't do anything and I was behind them 100%. They were limp! Looked limp after the 1st quarter and I knew the season was over. This is going to be a extremely difficult season for them and it will just get worse in the coming years. I originally thought they would be ok, but I was way off. the program is going to be a mess. 

Here's the Penn State schedule and my picks:

3 wins and 7 losses with a terrible streak to end the season.

vs Ohio - this was a devastating loss
At Virginia - win
vs Navy - loss
ve Temple - win, they had better win this one.
at Illinois - win, this may be a bit aggressive, but I'll give it to them.
at Iowa - loss
vs Ohio State - They are going to be embarrassed, loss
at Purdue - This is a loss.
at Nebraska - loss
vs Wisconsin - loss

1st Lock Of The Year

The Current spread on the MSU vs Boise game is MSU -7. This is wrong man!!!! Boise is underrated as usual. They're not going to compete for a national championship or anything like that, but they will stay with a 2nd tier program. Boise has one of the best coaching staff's in football, those players will be ready and have some serious tricks up their sleeves. 

Terrible Olympic Men's Volleyball

Basketball just ended and NBC switched over to volleyball, which makes me realize why mens volleyball will never be popular. I'm pretty sure the mens bball team would win gold in volleyball with a week of training. And it would be like the vitimen water commercial where doctors have to pull volleyballs out of peoples chest. 

That's not a cool embrace no matter what you win!!!!

This has nothing to do with women's volleyball. Those chicks work it and have asses that won't quit.

Olympic Nonsense

The scourge of every four years is here... The summer olympics. People that don't care about sports act like they do for things that are barely sports, most are just title 9 excuses. I'm looking at you beach volleyball.

The only good things about it are womens gymnastics, those chicks look like they coud break your dick off in their butts and the Danish womens field hockey team. Check them out, trust me.

Basketball is terrible, I guess there's some stupid drama in swimming, no one cares Phelps! Go back to harassing underage girls by the poll and taking bong hits. Get that cleft palate fixed too or whatever the hell is going on with your teeth.

West Virginia vs Baylor

I'm going to the WVU vs Baylor game on Sept 29th. I'm excitied to get down there and cut loose West Virginia style. Rest assured there will be a bunch of pictures and stories from this event.
