I must admit, it was one of the more bizarre Bill Stewart monologues, but it sure makes sense.

“I share this with the team all the time in the preseason, winter conditioning, spring ball, the preseason,” Stewart said. “Do you want to know why Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods? He doesn’t hit the snooze button. Plain and simple. Tiger Woods is Tiger Woods because he doesn’t hit the snooze button.

“Gary Player, one of the greatest golfers who ever lived and a very successful man today in real estate and business and other things, they said to him, ‘How were you so good at golf? Why are you so good in business? Why did your life turn out so well?’ You know what he said? ‘My daddy taught me to get out of bed.'”

The Mountaineers (5-2, 2-0 Big East) have scored only 28 points and never more than seven in the first quarter this season. They trailed 10-0 at ECU and 14-0 at Colorado and their last first-quarter score was three games ago against Rutgers.
