Big Ole Hairy Start if Vacation Friday

Yes it is once again that time of the week that we all look foreword to, when we can take time to cease the labors for the week and take a little bit of needed time out to enjoy the fruits of those labors. It is once again the dawn of another weekend, and a Big Ole Hairy Friday and the start of this Bloggers yearly vacation.

The next ten days worth of blogs that you will read were all pre-written a few weeks ago and each will be generic but will coordinate with our trip to the Caribbean. I may write a live blog tomorrow or Sunday Morning, depending on how I feel and that will be it until we return.

A lot of events going on around Morgantown this evening. In High School Football all three area teams are at home this weekend. Morgantown hosts Parkersburg South, University hosts Brooke and Clay Battelle hosts Valley Wetzel.

If you are a music fan, the brown lot near the law school is the place to be this evening. Brad Paisley is in town to give a free concert this evening and send Michelle and I off on our vacation.

Have yourselves a great day, I'm ready to get this party started.

Hi ho hi ho

It Was a Great Day to Be a Mountaineer

Wow what a day it was in Morgantown yesterday, Country Music Superstar and West Virginia native Brad Paisley stopped by Milan Puskar Stadium yesterday afternoon to be only the second artist (John Denver when it first opened) to perform Country Roads in front of a Football crowd. In a halftime interview, it was learned that Brad's Dad was a lifetime ticket holder and has even attended games at the old stadium downtown.

As far as the game, West Virginia revenged the 0-37 defeat we suffered two years ago when Maryland just had their way with us with a 45-6 win here yesterday. The halftime score was 38-0 and we were hitting on all cylinders, Offense, Defense and Special Teams and even pre-game entertainment...lol. We even set a school record for first downs with 37. Maryland did score on a long pass play in the 4th quarter, when they were already down 45-0.

The team looked great yesterday, we will have to see if we can enter into the top 25 in today's polls.  I think that we have a pretty good chance, that was a very convincing and totally dominating performance against a Big Ten team that might have gotten some notice.

It was a Great Day to be a Mountaineer.
