We had a blast watching the game at our place with 2 other couples - one of which are natives of West Virginia. What a big win for this state. I'm not from the state, but I've spent 2 years here, and let me tell you, the people of this state LOVE the Mountaineers. There is no professional team here, so everyone rallies around the school. People drive their RV's from all over the state and camp out 2 or 3 days before home football games, and then fill the stadium to capacity (80,000) every time. They are passionate about the basketball team as well. It is fun to see an entire state rally behind one school. What a special win for this state! This will really boost recruiting for next year, and Bob Huggins is an excellent coach, even though he is rough around the edges. It's a fun time to be living in Morgantown right now! If I can get my hands on some cheap tickets, we're going to Indy to cheer on the Mountaineers! After all, it's my Spring Break :)

Mountaineers in the Final 4!!!
Even though no one probably reads this blog anymore, I just had to say something about West Virginia's HUGE win tonight against the favored Kentucky Wildcats. Most picked Kentucky to win the entire thing ever since Kansas and Syracuse made their early exits, but they sure ran into a buzz saw tonight! No one picked WVU to win the Big East Tournament . . . they won that. No one picked them to beat Kentuky to go to the Final Four . . . they did that. Maybe people are starting to think twice before betting against the Mountaineers!!
