Okay, so I am a Mountaineer fanatic! This is not something that is taken lightly or liked by many in the area of upstate NY I live in as we are less then 80 miles from Big East team Syracuse. I just could not put a real adjective in front of Syracuse this year.… Continue reading Mountaineer Football – Big East Champs
Yes! I admit – and probably always will – that I am a diehard Mountaineer fan. College football is one of my favorite sports and this year my Mountaineers are really doing well. Unfortunately, their doing well is not consistent. They have been ignored by almost all the major networks when talking about a national… Continue reading Finally, Some Respect
My 17 year old son knows to not get between me and the TV when the Mountaineers are on TV. What he is slowly coming to realize is that any good college football game is a good reason to let Mom use the living room TV and to let her be. I was just screaming… Continue reading College Football
Yes, it finally feels like fall in upstate NY. So this weekend, I am going to watch my beloved Mountaineers play football – what else is a November weekend for. I am also going to spend some time menu planning. I try to menu plan all year round. It doesn’t work but the winter sports… Continue reading A Great Fall Weekend
It is fall so as I have said before, it is road trip time. This road trip came with a little mother-daughter bonding, too – just an extra plus.

Teams were… Continue reading Contrasts

The school my kids go to does not have lights but last night and next Friday, the local football team travels to a stadium for Friday night… Continue reading Friday Night Football
Not my most favorite but one of my favorite seasons of the year is about to start in less than 36 hours. I am not talking summer, spring, winter or fall – I have a favorite there, too. I am talking college football! I, ever since attending West Virginia University in the early 80’s, have… Continue reading Favorite Season of the Year
I am on a roll today. Yesterday, work was really busy and left me little time to type. Due to that, I saw a lot of news/articles but do not put my opinion down to the page. I am a huge college football fan. Many reasons for this love but suffice it to say that… Continue reading Just what the h*** is college for?
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… Continue reading Mountaineers & Orange Make History
