Retraction

noreply@blogger.com (Country Roads) — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 13:01:00 +0000

So it turns out that the unreliable source cited in yesterday's post wasn't the BGN message board. It was the Daily Mail. In short, (according to the Gazzette, which I hope is more reliable than...

noreply@blogger.com (Pessimistic Pete) — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 12:51:00 +0000

Each year, WVU puts out a media/fan guide that can normally be purchased at all Dairy Marts. The first page I flip to every year is the strength and conditioning numbers. It's always interesting to...

What Can [Mike] Brown Do for You?

noreply@blogger.com (Country Roads) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 18:35:00 +0000

I know, I know. We're all tired of the WVU-RR saga. It's been dragging on seemingly longer than Robert C. Byrd's Senatorial term. But it's still good for some humorous quips and downright outlandish...

Summer Doldrums

noreply@blogger.com (Country Roads) — Thu, 19 Jun 2008 01:12:00 +0000

Yes, we at LMYE are still alive. And as the summer rolls on, WVU sports news is few and far between. Sure, maybe we should have kept up with the Joe Alexander saga better, but frankly, that's just...

noreply@blogger.com (Pessimistic Pete) — Thu, 24 Apr 2008 18:06:00 +0000

Yeah, I know that's a cheesy title, but get over it. This weekend's draft could be extremely heavy with former Eers. However, with the new format, don't expect any of the ex-Eers to be taken on the...

It's Still April, but I'm No Fool

noreply@blogger.com (Country Roads) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:55:00 +0000

In posting what I thought was a pretty decent April Fool's joke back at the beginning of the month, I was completely unaware of how spot-on-correct I actually was. Ok, so I didn't get the community...

So, was your bracket busted after the first two rounds? Maybe you were conservative and picked all four seeds to make it to the final four, but you had UNC vs. UCLA in the finals. Or, maybe, just...
