…from the weekend that was. For your use in elevator rides, trips to the water cooler and other awkward moments on a Monday. 

– I said Friday it would be inexcuseable if WVU didn’t bury Syracuse. I stand by that. The Mountaineers blew their chance to prove themselves as anything but what they are.

– And what they are is not terribly good.

– Fortunately, Greg Robinson was there to save the day. I’m frankly surprised he not only cost his team the game, but was allowed on the plane back to campus.

– Pat White did not play — Amazing! — and Bill Stewart explained the process rather thoroughly.

– Finally, this must be mentioned. WVU was going nowhere Saturday and as I walked down to the field from the press box with a few minutes remaining, I was wondering how Robinson had let the game get away from him and how his team still had a chance.

At that moment, I saw no reason to believe WVU was going to run clock and I figured Syracuse would get the ball down 10-6 — and not 10-9 — with a few minutes to go. Suddenly, I heard an enormous roar in the middle of a timeout. I hit the field and wondered what was going on and was stunned to see RYAN J. BOYD on the big screen, thrusting his hips as Y.M.C.A. blared through the sound system. This hadn’t happened all season.

Devine scored on the next play.

I kid you not, I got three immediate text messages pointing out the obvious and two reporters on the field with me noticed what had happened. Listen, if you’re in the athletic department, you simply must have this kid around t all times. I will not argue this.
