WVU vs USF

This is last home game of the 2008 season. They’ve designated this game a “white out” in honor of Pat White.

I hope they kick ass to finish Pat White’s career on a high note, because I have to say that of all my years following the Mountaineers, Pat White has been my all time favorite player–finally replacing Paul Woodside.

So for Pat White’s last game…

LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It’s OVER!

13 – 6 WVU! It’s a win for Patrick White’s last game!

WVU vs UConn

I actually fell asleep around noon and woke up at 3:30. Michael had been checking on me throughout the day.

Michael: You’re awake! Are you hungry?
Michelle: I don’t know. How did WVU do?
Michael:
Michael: Are they playing?
Michelle: (sigh)

WVU won and it sounds like Pat White (121 yards passing, 109 yards rushing) and Jock Sanders both had an awesome game. And once again the third quarter was our strongest quarter. I have no idea why this is, but it’s been consistently this way for awhile.

It looks like after a rough start to the season (understandably so, considering the coaching changes), we’re finally getting it together. I could wish we would do better in the first quarter, but I’m happier with a team that finishes strong after a weak start, than vice versa.

Also? Michigan lost, and now have a record of 2-7, their first losing season in more than 40 years. Way to go Rich Rod.

WVU vs Auburn

Yes, it’s time for WVU’s Thursday night home game (as you may have noticed from the previous post.)

It’s 4:45 and traffic going to the stadium has been backed up since I got home around 4:00.

Fun for all!

Waiting…

There are maybe six students in the lab.

The parking lot is maybe a quarter full. Probably less.

Everyone is wandering around going, “Is it time to go yet? Is it time to go yet?”

Y’know. I realize they’re big money, but night games are a disaster educationally. Because we’re so close to the stadium, our parking lots have to be emptied by five, or they’ll start towing. Mind you, we have to pay for parking, so this is a tad bit more than annoying. So a lot of professors simply canceled classes today, so they wouldn’t have to deal with the parking fiasco.

And tomorrow… you think classes will be full tomorrow morning?

Of course that’s not going to stop me from walking home and turning on my radio to enjoy the game.

LET’S GO MOUNTAINEERS!

WVU vs Rutgers

I’m hoping that the team continues to gel, and that Pat White’s hand is in good shape.

ADDENDUM the First:
Halftime 17 – 10.

We missed most of the first half having lunch with Michael’s mom and her husband.

ADDENDUM the Second:
I hate it when Pat White goes down.

ADDENDUM the Third:
Pat White is heading back to the locker room. As much as I hate to see him off the field, I’m glad to see the training staff being proactive about concussions and head injuries.

ADDENDUM the Fourth:
Pat is back on the sideline and looking fine, but out of the game.

As I said before, I hate to see him out of the game, but I’d hate more for him to suffer long term damage from playing with a concussion.

ADDENDUM the Fifth:
It’s now a seven point game.

24 – 17

ADDENDUM the Sixth:
Final = 24 – 17 WVU

ADDENDUM the Seventh:
Coming off the field they just asked Coach Stewart about Pat White, and he said although Pat said he was okay the trainer said no, so Coach Stewart said he’d never ever never put a player on the field when they could get hurt or cause long term damage.

That is awesome. Because no one’s long term health is worth a single game.

WVU vs Marshall

It starts in just under an hour.

Lets hope this is the game where the team gels!

ADDENDUM the First:
Whew! Still 7 – nothing!

ADDENDUM the Second:
ARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHH!

(whew)

ADDENDUM the Third:
Straighten up guys! Penalties are KILLING us!

ADDENDUM the Fourth:
Halftime score is 14 to 3.

Come on guys! Make Pat White look good!

ADDENDUM the Fifth:
WAH! Pat White is off the field with an injury!

ADDENDUM the Sixth:
Final score: 27 to 3

I’ve noticed something interesting over the past several years. WVU seems to play better in the second half than in the first half. The penalties seemed to stop plaguing us in the second half. Special teams seemed to bomb every time they set foot in the field, but the defense really seems to be coming together. I loved how Pat White and Jarret Brown were sharing the quarterbacking, Noel Devine is really starting to look good, but there were still some rough edges to the offense.

So special teams needs some work, and I think they need to give out pushups to everyone who made a stupid penalty, but overall it was a satisfying game.
