You have a chance to succeed only if you acknowledge the contradiction built into big-time sports and force a choice between professionalism and amateurism, dollars and academic integrity. …


Interesting take....
They’re either going to run the ball here or their going to pass it.

The fewer rules a coach has, the fewer rules there are for players to break.

See, well ya see, the thing is, he should have caught that ball. But the ball is bigger than his hands.

I am not sure there has been a difference for a long time.

From what I’ve read he’s a good get, and the Lord Knows the quarterback room in Morgantown has potential, but is full of youth and little to no experience.

It appears Daniels has a ton of talent…….but has been banged-up and lost his spot at USC and Georgia. The Mountaineers absolutely should have a really good offensive line this coming season, and all reports from Spring Practice says they indeed do. Let’s hope they can protect this guy and give him some time to operate AND have some guys that can run routes and catch the ball. We’ll see…… 8) 8) 8)
