The backdeck bandit
After finding are keg cooler (plastic garbage can) and a waffle missing off our porch, we were led to believe that we had a backdeck bandit but after waking up this morning to find our beloved Miller Lite Banner housed we are certain that this bandit exists
But don't worry, the banner will be back and better than ever

You Might Be a Redneck If...
- You need pliers to change channels on your TV
-You've ever had to shave your legs to get a pair of pants to fit
-You wear a baseball cap to bed
-There is a hot tub in your living room
-The experience of your favorite restaurant is enhanced with video tokens
-You met your wife at a yard sale
-You can get your arm to the bottom of a full box cereal

GMonCampusPromo
If you haven't signed up, your wrong! Sign up now, the link is on the left, some kid won a 2004 Chevy cobalt TODAY in the Mountain lair with a queen high in Texas hold'em beating the computers 10 high, it was truly unbelievable half of the mt. lair erupted

NCAA National Championship
2004 Oklahoma Sooners/ Florida State Seminoles
2005 West Virginia Mountaineers (NEST)
2006 Florida Gators
2007 Tennessee Volunteers (NEST)
2008 Ohio State Buckeyes

Nest
His Tennessee Volunteers struggled through a 8-5 campaign and then were blownout in embarrassing fashion by Penn State in the Crapitol One Bowl
npoc
The Cornhuskers started slow just like last year but they were never able to recover and the wishbone offense continued to receive criticism but even a 6-7 record with a loss in the Tangerine Bowl was not enough to have the greatest defensive genius in college football, N. Tolomeo, fired from Nebraska
He received a 2-year contract extension and has vowed to bring a national championship back to Lincoln, Nebraska where it belongs
Stopiak
When he lost it was ugly, when he won it was even uglier against the bottom 10 teams in the country, he ended the season 3-9, 0-4 outside of the SEC, he lost his last three games and was shutout by Nebraska in a hair vs mutton chop game and he will not be forced to shave
Amazingly he was not canned, but just give him another year

FREE SUBWAY
To all you morgantahners, go to Subway on High Street either later Tuesday before 7pm or Wednesday from 11:30-7pm and fill out a student promo for 1-2 minutes and when you show your student ID you get free sub sandwiches and a drink!!

Bowl Projection
Another new years in Jacksonville? That's what it looks like if we can take care of the Ritt Ranthers in the Backyard Brawl Thanksgiving
If somehow BC blows a game to either Temple or Syracuse then WVU is back in the hunt for the Fiesta or Sugar Bowl
what's the tailgate scene look like for the game, let me know if your goin

WVU MENS BASKETBALL
OPENING SEASON SCRIMMAGE
WVU vs Pan American University of Mexico
Their roster included:
Alberto Lopez (JLO's son)
Gerson Harnandez (yes har not hernandez)
Bryan Ramirez
Demetrio Ramirez (no relation to each other and no relation to yuri demitris)
Froylan Verdugo (Straight from Lord of the Rings)
Enrique Hernandez (that's her not harnandez)
Fernando (apparently this guy is bigger than Michael Jordan as he only has to go by one name)
Roberto Peon Valle (They list him at 5-10, I'll be damned if hes an inch over 5 foot)
Carlos Ivan Dehesa (He must of remarried)
Ricardo Sanchez (was there any doubt if there would of been a dirty sanchez)
Maro Alejandro Castro (the future dictator of Panama)
Rafael Menendez (The third Menendez brother has finally been found)

The way this team was playing you would of though the floor and ball were as greasy as their hair, they could not make a shot or rebound or defend. They were just terrible but it was fun to watch the Sanchez's running around the court with their little mexican flag hung up behind the rim

Heres my exclusive preview of the 2004-2005 Mens basketball team here in Morgantown
JD Collins
The typical West Virginia basketball players, he just does enough to get you by but is nowhere near the Big East Level
Brad Byerson
We've heard enough about his illegally obtained $1000 wardrobe, its time to see him play and he looked pretty good in the scrimmage and his size both height and width will make a good presence underneath
Patrick Beilein
Shoots way too many three's and it gets contagious among the team, it really hurts them, he basically does nothing else except have a nice shot, althought he has gained some size since his freshman season
Tyrone Sally
Read JD Collins
Johannes Herber
The Storman German, the class act on the team, plays great defense but once again he is just not a Big East player
Durel Price
Who?
Darris Nichols
It appears that the little hype behind this kid was way to much actually, and it falls perfectly into the ineffective mountaineer guard role
Mike Gansey
Best player on the team. Period. Period. He isn't flashy, he isn't big, he has no size but he has the most hustle on the team and gets points on the board and plays tough defense. The best off-season addition to the team. He is a Drew Schifino without the attitude.
Frank Young
Just an awful player that will never EVER contribute, takes too many threes and he makes NONE of them, poor ball handling and just to small to be a productive forward
Luke Bonner
Very clumsy, looks like me playing basketball, never has control and he actually attempted a pathetic sky hook, his name carrys some expectations, none of which he will meet.
Whenever he finally made a basket, the bench sarcastically cheered, that says it all
Ted Talkington
I have never heard that name before
Kevin Pittsnogle
Typies a West Virginia native. He got married before his Junior year, he got tattoos that look ridiculous on him and serve no purpose except to try to take make him look like a hard ass and I must admit that it works
He is 6-11 and finally looks like it, for his on the court play, he just sits under the hoop looking for an easy basket, his three shot is not what it used to be and when he is out there shooting he is not doing his job underneath, he just cant win
D'or Fischer
Our one and only Big East player, the man is 6-11 and huge, he blocks more shots than a Goalie, he struggles shooting the ball and is extremely slow getting up and down the court but his presence underneath is unreplaceable, he will keep us in a lot of conference games just by shutting down the opposing teams big man
Nick Patella
He was on the team as a freshman then all of last year he was only seen tearing it up in the rec, the kid can handle a ball though and has a somewhat cocky swagger to him, but his size hurts him and his shooting struggles, but at some times it actually looks like he belongs on the floor

Season Outlook
Non-conference 6-5
Big East 5-11
Overall 11-16
Eliminated first round of Big East tournament
No NIT or NCAA bid is possible

You heard it hear first

Heyinz Filled
SUPER SATURDAY, ALL THE HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL YOU CAN WANT
Future NFL stars are born here, dynasties are continued, upsets shock the towns, entire neighborhoods come together, students brawl students in the concourses, high school pride is on showcase, A, AA, AAA and yes the vaughted AAAA, not seen that often around the country
Blue-chippers vs Top 100 recruits, elite-11 quarterbacks, the future of the local college football scene, Super Saturday at Heyinz Filled is as big a high school football extravaganza as there is in the North, trust me

I will be there 8:30 a.m.-10p.m.
Things get started bright in early at 10:30a.m.

WPIAL Class A Playoffs: Championship
No. 2 Clairton vs No. 4 Rochester
Clairton upset upstart Springdale and defending Class A champions last week to advance, Rochester is 9-3 on a tough schedule

WPIAL Class AA Playoffs: Championship 1:30 p.m.
No. 2 Seton-LaSalle vs No.1 Aliquppa
The battle of the 12-0's, the Quips should just take their team picture at Heyinz Filled, they have made the trip 8 out of the past 10 seasons. This season they have won ALL their games by double digits, they have sent more players to play D-1 ball than anyone else in Class AA and even a few to the NFL, like Ty Law
The Rebels from Seton-LaSalle are big underdogs despite being perfect and romping on all the competition including last weeks No. 2 Greensburg Central Catholic. Seton-LaSalle has the No. 11 pro-style quarterback in the nation

WPIAL CLASS AAA Playoffs: Championship 4:30 p.m.
No.2 Thomas Jefferson vs West Mifflin
Last years defending champs, TJ take on the only team in the WPIALS thats not in the state top 5, West Mifflin. West Miffline pulled out a huge 1-point upset over powerhouse West Allegheny in the semi's, in the regular season finale, TJ won the meeting between these teams, 17-7

WPIAL CLASS AAAA Playoffs: Championship 7:30 p.m.
The nightcap, under the lights, future NFL'ers
No.7 Central Catholic (12-0) vs No. 20 Gateway (11-1)
Those rankings arent the state rankings, theyre the NATIONAL RANKINGS
The only matchup of top 25 teams in the country, and Picksburg is the only city to have two teams in the national top 25
Gateways only loss? An opening season 28-20 classic at home, since then Gateway has been unstoppable winning 11 straight including scores of, 47-6, 41-0, 62-0, 68-0 and 27-0 (in the playoffs). Central has steam-rolled teams alll season and they are currently the defending WPIAL Quad AAAA champions
Baldwin and the Woodland Hills at the WolvArena are the only teams to even keep it close against the Vikings of Central Catholic
Justin King, the top cornerback in the country according to Rivals the fifth best player IN ALL THE LAND leads Gateway. Central Catholic lacks the mega-star like King but they have Eugene Jarvis who ran all over Upper St. Clair last season in Heyinz

Predictions
Class A
Clairton
Class AA
Aliquppa, the Rebels quarterback is tops in the State, but when it comes down to Super Saturday no one player can overcome an entire dynasty like Aliquppa
Class AAA
TJ's been here before, the players can handle, the lights, the noise and the huge stadium, its not even close
Class AAAA
Gateway has the third best running back in the country and no one is even close to their number one defensive back in the country, but the problem is, its the same kid, Justin King
He can not do it all himself, and just seeing those purple and gold uniforms and Art Walker Jr. on the sideline is enough to make any high school senior crumble
Central but it'll be alot closer than last years championship


thanks for reading, yinz been great

save our city
