Almost Heaven...

How about West Virginia last night? That was one of the most exciting, hardest-fought bowl games we've seen this year -- giving lots of credit to Oklahoma.

One of the nice things about this game (despite a bunch of personal foul penalties -- mostly for late hits, helmet contact, etc.) was that both teams just played. There didn't seem to be the kind of taunting that we saw in a couple of games earlier this week, and the "celebrations" were truly joyous, and not boastful.

Owen Schmitt and Pat White were both awesome. That comment about Owen Schmitt taking off like a runaway beer truck was priceless. And you had to love (Interim) Coach Bill Stewart, who clearly put his all into this game. After that win, West Virginia HAD to keep him on as the permanent coach.

Congratulations to the Mountaineers!

Tonight, let's see if Virginia Tech can keep the pride going at their end of the mountains.
