Sad He needs a kick in the ass! Too many people settle for mediocrity. Never Give Up! Never, Never, Never Give Up! A lot of people think that luck or chance are responsible for success in life. Yet nothing could be farther from the truth. William Jennings Bryan said it this way. "Your destiny isn't a matter of chance; it's a matter of choice." You are where you are and what you are as a result of the choices you make. And every choice you make has an impact on your life. That's why it's imperative to make the right choices. Your creator has blessed you with enormous potential. He gave you talents and abilities to reach the top, but you must do your part and use them to become a success. So take matters into your own hands and make all your dreams come true. You will, once you believe "if it's to be, it's up to me."

Mountaineers turn their attention to South Florida
By Mike Casazza Daily Mail sports writer
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. -- The mood, of course, was better Wednesday night for a West Virginia basketball team that avoided its first three-game losing streak in three years with a Capital Classic victory against Marshall in Charleston.
"Losing sucks, let me tell you," said WVU senior guard Alex Ruoff, who played all of eight minutes in a pair of three-game streaks as a freshman in 2005-06. "When you're not in practice, when you're in class thinking about what happened, you're just depressed.
"Then when you come to practice, all you think about is bouncing back and getting a win like this."
The excitement was tempered because Saturday the Mountaineers (12-4, 1-2 Big East) return to conference play, where they've lost two in a row, and play host to South Florida at noon (WCHS telecast) at the WVU Coliseum.
A limited number of tickets returned by USF are available.
"Winning is good for us, but we could have done things a little bit better and been a little cleaner because it was pretty sloppy," Ruoff said. "There are a lot of things we still need to work on. We allowed 53 points in the second half (to the Herd), and that's a problem.
"You can ask any coach in the country. We've got to concentrate on guarding the ball because they broke us down one-on-one in the second half and we didn't get the stops we needed."
WVU, which allowed Marquette to score 46 points in Saturday's second half, including 24 of the game's final 29, gave up 53 points and 53-percent shooting in the second half Wednesday.
Marshall was 13-for-24 from 2-point range and made seven layups.
"There were times you'd look around like, 'What's going on with the team?'" forward Da'Sean Butler said. "We've got a lot of young guys, but we have upperclassmen making mistakes, too. It's a matter of growing up and playing better basketball."
Most of those moments occurred in the second half when Marshall cut a 20-point lead in half and then got easy scores at the basket the final few minutes.
In the first half, though, the Mountaineers played spirited defense, held Marshall to 37.5 percent shooting and forced eight turnovers that were good for 11 points. WVU had five steals and deflected and discouraged several other passes.
"When we played Connecticut and Marquette, I was concerned about foul trouble," Coach Bob Huggins said. "I was concerned about Connecticut's size and Marquette's playing four guards, so we did some different things.
"(Assistant coach Larry Harrison) has been on me about, 'Let's go do what we do, Huggs. Let's go do what we do.' That's what we do. We try to take people out of what they want to do. When we play certain people, we'll have to make certain adjustments, but we need to play that way in stretches because it creates offense."
The Bulls (6-10, 1-3) lost at top-ranked Pitt Wednesday, 75-62. They've lost seven of 10 since the end of the first semester, which is when they hoped things would turn as transfers Mike Mercer and Gus Gilchrist became eligible.
Mercer, a guard from the University of Georgia, tore his right ACL in his fourth game and is out for the season. Gilchrist, a 6-foot-10 forward-center who was recruited by WVU, committed to Virginia Tech, enrolled at Maryland and transferred to USF, has started three games and averages 10.5 points and 4.5 rebounds.
Dominique Jones leads the team with 17.3 points per game and Jesus Verdejo is second at 14.4. Both shoot 37 percent from 3-point range. USF's third guard, Chris Howard, averages 6.8 points and has 66 assists, 34 turnovers and 15 steals.
"I really like their team," Huggins said. "Their perimeter guys are very good. They can stretch you out and play off the bounce. And like everyone else in the league, they're so much bigger than we are. We're going to have to do a great job keeping them off the glass."

West Virginians 'watched' West through Fleming's voice
By Bill Smith For the Daily Mail
The magic of the imagination is a wonderful thing.
It was a time before the explosion of television, the Internet, mind-numbing PlayStation and computer games, cell phones and iPods. It was a simpler time. At least that's the way I remember it.
Bear with me.
You have to be a certain age to remember when folks sat around and watched the radio. Yes, I said watched the radio. In our house, my brother and I watched the Shadow, the Lone Ranger, Sky King, the Green Hornet, Tom Mix and others that I can't recall.
After nearly 70 years, though, I still remember the sound of the announcer's voice as he said, "Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Shadow knows."
Exciting!
On Sunday evenings the entire family sat by the radio and watched Jack Benny, Burns and Allen and Eddie Cantor. We never missed them. And on Tuesdays there were Fibber McGee and Molly, and Red Skelton. We laughed and laughed.
When I say we watched, what I really mean to say is that we listened and through our minds we imagined what the Shadow was like, how magnificent the Lone Ranger looked on his white horse Silver, etc. As for Jack Benny and the others, it was pure comedy.
Years ago my wife and I bought a small wagon full of wooden blocks of all sizes and shapes. There were no batteries, no flashing lights or screaming sounds. But all nine of our grandchildren played with those blocks for hours when they were young and built wonderful things.
If you teach a young child to read, he or she can go anywhere in the world through the pages of a book and their imagination and never leave home.
All of this is my way of going around the barn to get to the wonderful, creative voice of the late Leo W. "Jack" Fleming, who except for an absence of seven years was "Voice of the Mountaineers" from 1947-96.
It was a time long before the explosion of television and Jack's voice was it.
Fleming, who announced NFL games for the Pittsburgh Steelers and NBA games for the Chicago Bulls, flew 23 combat missions in a B-17 in World War II. He began his broadcasting career while recuperating from war wounds at a military hospital.
He did football and basketball at WVU. And while he was very good at football, in my opinion he was the best basketball play-by-play announcer I ever heard. He was so accurate you could keep score of the game and keep individual scoring, shots attempted, free throws, rebounds and assists.
He was the man during the heyday of WVU basketball (1955-63) when the Mountaineers stampeded up and down the floor of the old Field House. In that time they compiled a 318-55 record and advanced to the NCAA championship game in 1959 (losing to California, 71-70). What a time it was!
He made stars like Jerry West, Rod Hundley, Rod Thorn, Lloyd Sharrar, Bobby Joe Smith, Ronnie Retton, Donnie Vincent, Willie Akers and all the rest come to life. He painted pictures with his words.
He would say over the mike, "Let's bring on the Mountaineers" ... "Touchdown West Virginia!" ... "West is knocked to the floor and no call" ... "West comes down with the rebound with a man all over his back."
You could imagine West's greatness, picture the antics of Hundley and envision the swiftness of the Mountaineers' fast break and the smothering pressure of their famed zone press. And you could hear the stomping foot of WVU Coach Fred Schaus as he stormed up and down in front of the bench.
I will never forget the night a crowd at the WVU Coliseum gave West a seven-minute standing ovation when he was introduced at halftime of a game. It was 20 years or more after he had played at West Virginia.
Afterward, a misty-eyed West said, "I don't understand it. Most of these people never saw me play. And I didn't find a cure for a disease or anything like that. All I ever did was play a game and shoot a basketball at a basket."
Yes, but he did it when Fleming described it for fans all over the state who were watching through their radios. Fleming was that good. And although the Mountaineers were good, too, he made them bigger than life on the biggest screen of all -- the magic of the mind.
Everything has changed. I'm not convinced all change is necessarily progress.
Oh well. As Jack would say, "And goodnight to Mountaineer fans everywhere."

A woman leaving the WVU/Marshall basketball game at the Charleston Civic Center Wednesday night is recovering from injuries after being struck by a drunken driver. Police say Tiffany Fowler was hit as she tried to cross Quarrier Street near the Civic Center as fans were leaving the game. The driver is identified as 31-year old Victor Giron of Dunbar.
"What we see all too often, somebody got behind the wheel of a car with way too much to drink and she was struck by this drunk driver," said Charleston Police Sgt. Shawn Williams.
Giron registered a .258 blood alcohol content, more than three times the legal limit of .08.
"He wasn't in a state that could really explain where he'd been or was going," Williams tells MetroNews. "He made a statement that he'd been working and said he works at Rio Grande Restaurant. I would most definitely hope he wasn't drinking while he was working and then got in a car. With his B-A-C that high we're not sure if he actually knew what he was talking about."
Giron is in the South Central Regional Jail charged with aggravated DUI and DUI causing injury. Fowler was taken to CAMC with non-life threatening injuries, but her condition is unknown.

By From staff reports
CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- West Virginia University's Alex Ruoff had a lot to say about his teammates following Saturday's loss at Marquette and followed that by declining interview requests Tuesday.
He lets his actions speak loud and clear against Marshall Wednesday night. WVU's senior guard had 15 points, five assists, two steals and no turnovers in 37 minutes of WVU's 87-76 Capital Classic win at the Civic Center.
"One thing I always want to do is come out and lead by example and play as hard as I can," he said. "Some of the things I said after the Marquette game was in-house stuff and I really shouldn't have broadcast that. A couple of guys read that and it really hit home, but that's something that needs to stay inside from now on."
* * *
RUOFF ALSO revealed after the Marquette game his "hate" for the Capital Classic because he felt his side had nothing to gain and everything to lose. He addressed that afterward, as well.
"I love this atmosphere," he said. "I don't like it when it gets out of control like it did a little (Wednesday) and the fans get out of it. Last year's game, when the fans were all into it, you can't replace that atmosphere. I love that portion of it.
"But obviously, I don't like losing. That doesn't sit right with me. The young guys don't know how important it is for the (NCAA) tournament. That's why I don't like it."
* * *
THE MARSHALL-WVU confrontation actually began before the opening tip. As the Thundering Herd ran onto the Civic Center floor, Marco the mascot bumped into Da'Sean Butler and the two exchanged quick looks.
"He came out of nowhere and caught me off guard," Butler said. "I thought it was one of my teammates. Then I looked and saw this buffalo. I was like, 'Um, wow.'"
Everyone laughed and the situation did not escalate.
"He didn't come back," Butler said. "That was the main thing we talked about."
* * *
PLAYERS GET tired, but how about officials?
It's a question often asked, with most of the nation's top officials working as many as five or six games per week. The trio that turned the Capital Classic into a walk between free throw lines is an example.
Referee Curtis Shaw worked his sixth game in seven days and fifth day in a row Wednesday night at the Civic Center. He worked Arkansas State-Denver last Thursday, took Friday off, did USF-DePaul on Saturday, followed by Weber State-Drake, Texas-Oklahoma and then Memphis-Tulsa on Tuesday.
Tony Greene, starting Wednesday a week ago, whistled seven games in eight days. He called Cincinnati-Providence, Furman-Sanford, Kennesaw State-North Florida, Ole Miss-Florida, LSU-Alabama, was off Monday, then did Kentucky-Tennessee and Marshall-WVU.
As for John Higgins, he was the most rested of the Capital Classic crew.
He had worked six days in a row - ending with Marshall's loss at Memphis - then was off last Thursday and Friday, called Iowa State-Texas on Saturday, was off another two days and then had Kansas State-Kansas on Tuesday night before flying Wednesday to Charleston.
Should somebody call a foul on this?
* * *
THE WEST Virginia win in the Capital Classic was the 628th victory in Coach Bob Huggins' 27 seasons, leaving him only two behind Marshall legend Cam Henderson for 27th on the all-time major college coaching wins list (minimum of 10 seasons in Division I).
Henderson had 362 of his 630 career wins on the Thundering Herd bench from 1935-55. He also coached at Muskingum (Ohio), Salem and Davis & Elkins. Next ahead of Henderson is former Florida State, Georgia and Jacksonville coach Hugh Durham, at 635 wins.
* * *
BOB PRUETT, the winningest football coach in Marshall history, attended the Capital Classic.
He even had a front-row seat.
Pruett, a Beckley native who now is the defensive coordinator at Virginia, retired in 2005 after nine seasons at his alma mater. He had a 94-23 record with the Thundering Herd.
* * *
AS EXPECTED, Marshall sophomore center Marcus Goode dressed but didn't play.
Goode had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee on Jan. 5. He averaged 4.6 points and 3.1 rebounds in 8.2 minutes per game in 11 appearances before his injury.
* * *
A SHOT clock malfunction delayed the start of the second half by 12 minutes.
Both teams warmed up on the other basket while employees from both schools and the arena tried to fix the problem, which they were unable to do. So, the teams played the second half without shot clocks on either basket. Instead, the shot clock was kept at the scorer's table and teams were notified at certain intervals (i.e. 20 seconds, 10 seconds, five seconds).
The Thundering Herd student section borrowed a chant from "The Bad News Bears In Breaking Training."
"Let them play," the Marshall Maniacs cheered. "Let them play."
* * *
WVU SNAPPED a two-year losing streak to Marshall in the annual cheerleader strength competition.
Each male cheerleader holds up a female cheerleader as long as he can until only one is left standing. The competition came down to one from each side, but the Mountaineers lasted longest.

MAZZULLA, WHO has missed seven consecutive games with a growth plate fracture, continues to participate in a limited role in practice and work with the scout team playing defense against the first team.
He said Tuesday the medical redshirt deadline is today's game and not the Marquette game, as he previously believed and reported. No decision has been made and he continues to hope to play again this season.
"If we're .500 in the league and it doesn't look like I'm going to make much of a difference, I'm not going to waste a year," he said. "If it looks like we have a chance to make a run and could use more depth and give Truck and Da'Sean (Butler) and Alex (Ruoff) and the ball-handlers a rest, that's something Huggs and I will talk about. It just depends on the situation at the point of the season when I get healthy, if I get healthy."
* * *
RUOFF, WHO was critical of his teammates following the Marquette game, declined interview requests Tuesday.
Butler said there was no dissention and the Mountaineers were, as they usually are, upset with the loss.
"We feel terrible about what we did and thought we could have played better after the game," he said. "Everything's fine. There's nothing wrong. After a game, if you feel like you did something wrong or something happened that shouldn't have happened, as a player you feel like saying it and that's it. Sometimes it just happens and as players you feel like you shouldn't be making those mistakes."
* * *
EBANKS HAD a Band-Aid above his right eye after colliding with point guard Will Thomas in practice.
Forward Cam Thoroughman had a shiner around his right eye, although that happened away from practice. Butler said Thoroughman was racing teammate Cam Payne to the car Saturday night and slipped and fell on ice in the Coliseum parking lot.
"They were trying to see who got shotgun," Butler said.

By DAVE POE, dpoe@newsandsentinel.com Now that the emotionalism has worn off, it's time to try to put into perspective West Virginia University's recently-concluded 2008 football season.
On the surface, that would seem quite easy to do. After all, we watched West Virginia play all 13 of its games and are quite familiar with the circumstances that led to a 9-4 finish, a victory in the Car Care Bowl and a final No. 23 ranking in the Associated Press poll.
While that seems like a satisfactory result, we're still torn over trying to figure out whether this was a season of lost opportunity.
That's the debate that has been raging among Mountaineer fans throughout the season, and no sports column is going to settle the issue or change many minds.
Suffice it to say there are two schools of thought regarding the Mountaineers.
One says that a first-year coaching staff did a great job keeping together a team ripped assunder by the departure of its popular coach. That staff managed to win nine games and lose two others in overtime. With a break or two, WVU would have equalled the 11-win total achieved each of the previous three seasons.
The other says the coaching staff inherited a senior-dominated top 10 program and turned a Mercedes into a Yugo.
Those on each side can make a strong case that they are right. In fact, many on both sides of the issue have done just that. Everyone has had their say.
Instead of continuing to look back, it is time to look forward to the second full year of Bill Stewart's tenure.
Obviously, the Mountaineers are going to suffer heavy graduation losses. That would be the case if Pat White were the only player departing Morgantown. Add kicker-punter Pat McAfee and most of the offensive line, and there are many gaping holes to fill.
There are two ways to fill holes, either with existing personnel or recruits. Several of those who have patiently waited their turn to start now will get the chance. That includes quarterback Jarrett Brown and Parkersburg's own Josh Jenkins, who should enter spring drills No. 1 on the depth chart.
Many of the potential replacements for the departed seem more than adequate.
The recruiting class is starting to look outstanding. Before any coaching staff can consistently succeed, it must bring in enough talent. Stewart and recruiting coordinator Doc Holliday are having an excellent recruiting season.
Obviously, West Virginia is going to experience a significant downgrade at quarterback no matter who wins the position.
But the biggest concern is the kicking situation. Even with McAfee, special teams play - especially kickoff coverage - was horrible. The coaching staff must make this a priority, otherwise it may become the fatal flaw of the 2009 team. A team that appears to have a great deal of potential.
Rather than the 2008 season, it will be 2009 that determines the ultimate direction of this football program. No matter to which camp of Mountaineer fans one belongs, we all must remember we want the same thing: for WVU?to succeed.

MILWAUKEE - It's probably best not to take everything that Alex Ruoff says in the wake of a loss as gospel.
By Dave Hickman Staff writer
MILWAUKEE - It's probably best not to take everything that Alex Ruoff says in the wake of a loss as gospel.
Now mind you, that's not a knock on Ruoff, the only senior on West Virginia's basketball team. The fact is, he takes a loss - any loss - hard and quite often personally. There was no better example than the Mountaineers' 61-55 defeat at the hands of Connecticut last week.
"You can say it's a team loss and all the stupid, cliché crap like that,'' he said that night. "But I missed the last three shots. ... It's reality.''
Ruoff wasn't taking West Virginia's 75-53 loss to Marquette Saturday at the Bradley Center personally, though. And perhaps that fact forces one to lend a bit more credence to what he did say.
Oh, there was certainly enough blame to go around and Ruoff wasn't excluding himself from the conversation. He talked about a handful of "stupid plays'' he - and others - made that allowed Marquette to seize the momentum and score 24 of the game's final 29 points, turning a nail-biter into a blowout. And, like the UConn game, he didn't shoot the ball well. For the record, since the night he set a school record with nine 3-pointers against Radford two days before Christmas, Ruoff is a combined 8-for-30 on 3s. Against the Huskies and the Golden Eagles he was a collective 8-for-28 from the floor and 4-for-18 on 3s.
Poor shooting, though, isn't a fatal flaw. Ruoff isn't unlike most shooters in that he's going to have good nights and bad. At the beginning of the week he was shooting 41 percent from 3-point range and that's plenty good enough. And besides, this is also a guy who on Saturday had eight assists and for the season is the team's leading scorer, its best free-throw shooter and is second in both assists and steals. He's also played more minutes than anyone else despite having sat out two full games.
We digress, though. The point is that as much as Ruoff means to the Mountaineers and as unselfish as he sometimes is - he didn't even attempt a shot during the first 12 minutes Saturday - it's going to take a collection of those types in order for a young, undersized and, quite frankly, limitedly talented West Virginia team to have any kind of success in the Big East this season.
And that's what Ruoff complained about Saturday outside of a West Virginia locker room that had turned eerily quiet after having just been shaken by the considerable decibels of one Bob Huggins.
"A lot of guys don't care, man,'' Ruoff said, not angrily but rather with a sense of mystery and disappointment.
Don't care?
"That's what it boils down to. Huggins even said it. A lot of our guys do not care,'' Ruoff said. "They're not buying into it. They're doing their own thing.''
Now, if you'd like to go down the roster and pick and choose your favorites as culprits, feel free. Ruoff, though, isn't going to go there. And not being privy to West Virginia's often-grueling practices, nor will we.
Suffice it to say, though, that the makeup of this team is different than that of Huggins' first one at West Virginia, that bunch that overachieved to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament a year ago. Ruoff can't put his finger on just what makes it so different, but he knows that it is.
"When he says it, I just start thinking about it, like, 'What is he talking about?' '' Ruoff said, referring to Huggins' behind-closed-doors lashing out. "It's guys that are getting out of the offense, doing their own thing. It's guys that don't come into practice [and work]. It is a lack of caring.
"Last year, we had guys that cared. All of our guys cared. Nobody cared about points. Nobody cared about rankings or where players are ranked. And we were good. We all bought into it.''
OK, so perhaps this is much ado about nothing. After winning 11 of 13 games to start the season and move into the Top 25, West Virginia has lost two in a row and they were both hard to take. Against both No. 5 UConn and No. 18 Marquette, the Mountaineers had chances to either win (in the last minutes against the Huskies) or fight to the end (until Saturday's crash and burn). That's grounds for frustration and, ultimately, finger-pointing. Winning a game or two tends to, if not rectify, then at least assuage such concerns.
But Ruoff feels like he needs to do something as this team's only senior. But what?
"I'm looking at Darris last year as a leader and he didn't get in guys' faces. He came in as a leader and just worked his butt off,'' Ruoff said, referring to departed point guard Darris Nichols. "I've backed up from yelling at guys because of that, because I just want to do what he did, just lead by example, just practice hard every day and work my butt off.
"I really don't know what else to do. I'm not a coach. I'm not a guy that yells. I just listen to Huggs and try to play my butt off. When he's talking about people not caring and people having their own agendas, he's not talking about me. I'm playing my butt off for him.''
On one hand, if this is an issue it's good to find out early and correct it. On the other, though, if it's not correctable, this could be a long season.
"It's got to change. The season is on a downhill slope right now,'' Ruoff said. "Guys have to buy in. I know you hear that a lot, but guys have got to buy in and stopped worrying about themselves.
"We're not a very good team right now. I think we got some early hype and some of our guys, it's gone to their heads. We're not a good team right now, but we can be. We've proven it in spurts. When we're playing as a team we're pretty good.''

Post a Comment:
I hate to say it, but I think he's right. The team has a few of those "ultra-talented freshman" that are here to get theirs and want to go to the NBA. Those type of players aren't likely to "buy in" to any system. They are great players but Alex is used to unselfish workers like Pittsnogle, Gansey, Young, Alexander, and Nichols who just wanted to win and do things the right way. I hope they get it straightened out but I fear this is going to be a common theme this season.
Posted By: goldnblueblood
Thanks for the article Mr.Hickman, even though the content was more painful to read than the game was to watch yesterday. I hate it if what Alex said is true. The team doesn't need problem children on it. Apparently the team has some players that needs to grow up quickly. Hopefully the issues will get resolved ASAP. LETS GOOOOOO MOUNTAINEERS!! I'll see you fans Wednesday night at the CCC.
