Pitt enters the Coliseum heavily favored and ranked #4 in the country
Sounds familiar don't it
I recall Pitt being ranked and coming into Morgantahn and walking away with a fresh spanking and loss
Something about the Coliseum, sold out to the rafters and then some, decked out in alll gold, on the 100 year anniversary of WVU basketball with the NBA Silhouette himself Jerry West in the house, and with the Mahntneers dressed in their 1950's retro throw back jerseys
When its Pitt/WVU there is more than just the talent on the floor, it is the atmosphere, the meaning
WVU owns Pitt in the overall season for the 90+ years they have been playing, and in allll those years Pitt has won only 5 times inside the Coliseum
My sports editor predicted it, CNNSI.com and Sports Illustrated predicted it
npoc doesn't go around throwing out guarantees and predictions and this and that
but if I had more than 3$ in my pocket
I would probably go to ashebrook and buy some more bacardi for the pregaming
but that's besides the point
If I was a betting man and had some money, it would go on the Mahntaneers

Nobody comes into Morgantahn expecting to win
-Woody Paige

The rag tag group of freshman sophomores and juniors from West Virginia, Virginia and Germany will go up against the colossal giant Pitt and their group of seniors who were recruited from the big cities and big schools
Sounds kind of like a hockey movie that just came out
I think it was called something like...
Miracle

And yes Al Michaels, I do believe

Lets go Mahntaneers
