Forget ECU — remember when we beat Oklahoma?

And I’m not talking about the Fiesta Bowl. I’m talking about the game that was 26 years ago tomorrow. It’s certainly a much happier memory than what happened on September 11 seven years ago.

This retrospective on West Virginia’s 41-27 victory in 1982 over the Sooners in Norman is part of the weekly series I’ve been doing on significant events, people, places, etc. in WVU’s football history.

Check it out at this link.

My Top 25: Week Three

Seeing as I had West Virginia lower in my rankings than any other DA sports writer before the ECU loss, I guess it’s only fitting that I drop them out of my rankings entirely. Honestly, even before the ECU game, in my mind I knew I should have been ranking the Mountaineers around the 17-18 range. 

You’ll note I have East Carolina lower in my poll than most, largely because I think that while the Pirates have looked impressive, they have done so against two highly overrated teams in Virginia Tech and WVU.

Disagree with me on something here? Leave a comment.

1. USC
2. Oklahoma
3. Georgia
4. LSU
5. Ohio State
6. Missouri

Someone out there likes me…

This blog has sort of been a running joke for some at the DA. I don’t know whether I should be offended or pleased, but opinion editor Dave Ryan saw fit to make an “ad” for the blog that is never going to run anywhere. Except here. Call it our first exclusive.

I’m posting this just to justify his two minutes of hard work. You think we could get some readers from it?

P.S. Don’t blame me for today’s headline claiming a WVU loss to the “Greenville Pirates”. I had nothing to do with it. I swear.
