Big Ole Hairy Friday

Yes, it is once again that time of the week that we all look forward 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.

Are you looking for a little bit of High School Football this evening? Well I will say this is the time of year that those of us locals who like High School Football look forward to, it's that time of the year when the County's two largest schools prepare to do battle in the Mohawk Bowl. I'm not even going to try to be fair, I'm saying Morgantown High Mohigans will pout a butt whipping to those University High Hawks. Clay Battelle travels to Montcalm and Trinity is at home playing Steubenville Catholic (OH) Good luck to 3 of the 4 Monongalia County Teams, I'm excluding you University High, Mohigans all the way. 

WVU is at home tomorrow to take on Kansas State at noon. The Mountaineers are trying to bounce back from last weeks setback and Kansas State will be trying to get revenge for last season's loss to the Mountaineers. 

I did get Pearl back on Wednesday, had to have the clutch replaced as well as a brake cable that was really saturated. Took it to Hartsell's Exxon on Univerity Avenue. I've known Brian since we were in High School and he is one of the most upfront and honest guys you will ever meet. I actually have him a Yelp and a Google Review for their services. Highly recommended. 

Have yourselves a great day today, make it a good start to the weekend, Go Mohigans beat them Hawks. 

Big Ole Hairy 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.

You want some football, well we have some football this weekend in Monongalia County. Morgantown High tries to avoid a losing season as they travel to my side of town to take on the undefeated University High Hawks in the MoHawk Bowl. Morgantown has played a very tough schedule, going out of state and playing the likes of Ohio Powerhouse Steubenville, PA Powerhouse North Allegheny and arguably the most productive team in the state in Martinsburg this season.University has played a less than challenging schedule, and have run the table. This should be a good game, and although my heart says Mohigans in the upset, something tells me the Hawks take this one leaving Morgantown with a losing season =(. Clay Battelle is at home taking on Notre Dame in Blacksville.

The Mountaineers are kicking off tomorrow at Noon as they are taking on #10 Oklahoma State. I don't know what to expect from this years team, not worried about the Offense but the defense had a let down last week and Special Teams, don't get me started on this unit as they are the unit that keeps drawing defeat from the jaws of victory.

Have yourselves a great day, enjoy some football this weekend and have some fun. Chad will be moving back in early next week, we have a UHaul rented for him.

Saturday Morning Rambling

Here I sit once again in the early AM in a quiet household. Michelle actually beat me with her losing battle with the Sandman last night and was up before me, but she has since went back to bed after drinking about half of a pot of coffee. I'm up watching Information Discovery and cooking my morning breakfast.

For those interested, my procedure that I had done yesterday went fine, I'm good for another ten years now. No major problems or any cancerous cells. That wee long prep is now over with and things are returning to normal for me again. Thank You once again to my Sister Pam for driving me both to and from this procedure.

Well it is game day here in Morgantown. Tent City has a final count of 234 tents in preparation for this mornings Broadcast of ESPN's Gameday. Our guest picker has been selected and it is West Virginia's own son, Country Music Superstar and big fan of WVU Football Brad Paisley.

Visiting Morgantown for today's game is our 4th top 10 opponent of the year (and we're not done yet) in #8 TCU as they invade Morgantown at 3:30 this afternoon. It's cold wet and snowy, exactly what it is NOT in Texas (it was in the 90's for our game last week). I'm hoping for a good showing, I am optimistic today, so it should be a good one.

The MoHawk bowl was played last night. Congratulations to University High for winning this years game that had to go into overtime to settle the score.

Have a great day, we're shampooing carpets.

Big Ole Hairy 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.

I'm actually off today myself, I have my week in and am using today for a Colonoscopy Procedure that I will have done today. I had to miss trick or treating last night in preparation for this procedure. Hopefully everything goes well.

Looking for a little High School Football action? Look no further than right here, tonight Clay Battelle travels to Notre Dame to play. Tonight is also the MoHawk Bowl, the crosstown rivalry between Morgantown High and University High and it takes place at Pony Lewis Field at 7:30 this evening. University High is on a playoff run and the Mohigans have probably had their worst record in 20+ years at 4-5 right now. I'm cheering for my Alma Mater, but something tells me that this is University High's year.

If you are looking for College Football action this week, Morgantown is the place to be. On the Mountainlaire they have set up Tent City, these are people hoping to get the best locations when College Game Day broadcasts for the second time from Morgantown tomorrow for our game with TCU. This will be our fourth game against a top 10 team this season and we have another one looming in two weeks with Kansas State. Hopefully this will be an exciting weekend in Morgantown.

Have a great day, I'm not looking forward to mine...lol

Oh no oh no

Hump Day Sports

Well that has been two weeks in a row that the Mountaineer Football team has been taken to the woodshed. This past Saturday was one of the ugliest games that I have ever seen this program play. The defense was absolutely horrible, especially the pass coverage and Geno Smith seemed like he has cracked under all the Heisman Trophy talk pressure. They will be off this week, maybe they can get a few things worked out and get back on the right track before it's too late.

The men's basketball team have been practicing for a couple of weeks now. They had a 40 minute scrimmage last Friday that was open to the public. I went to the University High School Football game however.

Speaking of University High, my loyalties are still with my Alma Mater as University High and Morgantown High will square off this coming Friday evening in the annual MoHowk Bowl. I wish Arron a lot of luck, but I'm still a Mohigan at heart and always will be.
