I had a teacher in high school who had a habit of showing a video and making us take notes at least once a week. We had block scheduling, which meant I had “A” days and “B” days and one week was A-B-A-B-A and the next was B-A-B-A-B. I used to hate snow days. If an “A” day was snowed out, I could never remember if the next day was A or B. I even had some teachers who did pop quizzes after a snow day and I was convinced it was done to anger me.

Where was I? Oh, the teacher. Anyhow, that class was my first of the day on A days and while I kind of liked the easy start to the day, I also kind of hated that waste of time. The videos were never planned and the stuff was never on a test or a quiz. It occurred to me during my freshman year of college there was probably a reason this teacher chose to show videos on random days and sit behind the desk in the dark for that 90-minute period. Especially on Fridays.

I say this because I eventually saw through the rouse and I don’t want you getting the wrong idea about this post. I went to bed early last night and got up early today, but I have to head to Washington, D.C., now for tonight’s game. I suppose this is busy work, but I happen to think the idea of a West Virginia Mt. Rushmore of sports is a pretty neat discussion.

That’s a pretty good list, but what about Cam Henderson, Frank Gatski, Sam Snead and Claire Bee? Am I forgetting anyone?

Perhaps it doesn’t matter because they’re not getting above The Logo, Huff, Mary Lou and Hal Greer. Or The Logo, Huff, Greer and Pat White. Or … yikes, this is tough.
