MSNsportsNET.com - the official site for WVU Mountaineer sports - has the following quote in an article about WVU being on the bubble to go dancing.
According to West Virginia SID Bryan Messerly, only twice in the existence of the Big East Conference has a 20-win team not made the tournament: 20-8 UConn in 1980 when [...]

My daughter was all excited. First, her sister’s women’s soccer team won their conference championship at the end of October last year. The team and university members were gathered in the lower level of the Gallagher Center to watch the selection show. The team - which plays in a small Division 1 conference - was [...]

Several blog titles of mine deal with March Madness, though not all refer to NCAA basketball. This one does and this year, in particular, it will be special.
This year March Madness has a special slant to it. My daughter’s college team won their conference championship so will be heading to the dance. It happens that [...]

… and this time I do mean college basketball.
Tomorrow, I leave for the four hour one-way trip to pick up my daughter from college. Her university’s men’s basketball team won their conference championship on Tuesday night - or was it Wednesday night - of this week. They are going dancing.
So, while my daughter is home [...]

You all should read Mike Jarvis’s article on student-athletes in college basketball’s Big Dance.
While Coach Jarvis focuses on the basketball end of this, it is the same for most college student-athletes. I had a mother ask me about my daughter’s experience at a Division 1 school who happened to make it to the NCAA soccer [...]

I have to admit I do not like watching basketball on television. I am not even sure I like watching basketball in person but if I have to, college ball is the way to go.
So it is a cold February Saturday and I am flipping around - anything to not watch another episode of “Dirty [...]

I am sure you all are saying what does a mother of six from upstate New York know about National Signing day for college football recruits. What I know is it is a high stress time for college coaches and for incoming college freshmen or high school seniors. I also know that it is not [...]

Okay, I have decidedly described myself as a sports fanatic many times. I am, though, not a big professional sports fan. I love World Cup Soccer and professional bicycling (though I have some questions about cycling nowadays).
This weekend, though, was almost perfect. I have spent the weekend watching my favorite college football team play. It [...]

Okay, while I admit to being a sport fanatic, this is little I enjoy more than college football. This may come from going to West Virginia University and attending games in both old and new Mountaineer Stadium. It may come from a son who played on a high school state championship football team. It may [...]
