Sad but true.

Louisville looked like a different team tonight, offensive line was strong racking up over 180 yards rushing and the defense played well lead by a strong performance from the defensive line getting pressure on Norton all night getting 5 sacks and holding Kentucky under 50 yards rushing. Teddy played almost the 3 quarters and the more he played the better he looked, he would have had 3 TD's if one didn't go right through Radcliff's hands. There could be a QB battle heating up in the River City.

Didn't Expect WVU's defense to play that tough today against Maryland ... They were in total control !!!

Maryland dinked and dunked them to death with that short passing game and gashed them up the middle on the ground. I don't actually think they were in total control, but they made the big plays when they needed to and held on. I think they got a little relaxed when they took the big lead on them.

Well, it's official

Quote:

Pittsburgh and Syracuse, once flagship programs of the Big East, have been accepted as members of the Atlantic Coast Conference, extending the league's current membership to 14 schools, the ACC announced on Sunday morning. The exact date for the move remains uncertain, as Big East bylaws require schools to pay a $5 million exit fee and give 27 months notice before leaving. ACC commissioner John Swofford said the league "fully respects" the bylaws of the Big East, but Pitt chancellor Mark Nordenberg said the Big East provides options for withdrawl.

As a Big East College Hoops Fan, I feel crushed. Loved having Syracuse & Pitt in the league. I'm really shocked that BE wasn't more agressive with trying to solidify the conference by going after some of the Big12 teams. Sad day for Big East sports.

I truly believe that WVU is heading to the SEC once the A&M suit is settled. Normally where's there is smoke, there's fire and there's been a lot of smoke regarding that around WV the past few weeks. I know a couple of people close to the situation and they've hinted that it's happening, without actually coming out and saying it.
