No News: WVU tops Rutgers

Seriously, what else is new? A lot of WVU fans are calling the revival of our basketball team after they squashed Rutgers at home 81-63. Guys, this is Rutgers. We just beat the worst team in our conference on our home court. Getting excited over those wins is something we did in the Gale Catlett days. Sidebar: Anyone remember the so-dubbed “Fairmont Fat-Ass” Rashad Kent?

WVU hasn’t lost to the Scarlet Knights on the basketball court or the gridiron for nearly four years, the last loss coming in March of 04 in the NIT at Piscataway. A Rutgers team has not won in Morgantown since 1997. So let’s not get carried away with this win. If it build confidence for Joe Alexander and Wellington Smith, fine, but I’m not crowning anybody based on an 18-point win over Rutgers.

WVU vs. The State of New Jersey Part II happens Sunday at 2 p.m. Don’t expect too much excitement over that game either.
