Well, that just happened. Four more turnovers and official entry into the “You know it’s bad when…” realm when J.T. Thomas actually committed a turnover after creating a turnover.

The big difference last night was obvious. The Mountaineers had Noel and, more importantly, a revelation he was kind of hard to stop.

“We put the ball in Noel Devine’s hands because they were blitzing and I got a little frustrated with the pass protection and seeing Jarrett Brown running around,” Stewart said. “I said, ‘That’s it.’ That’s all on me. I’ve been trying to wheel and deal and throw it deep and spread the field. We decided to put the ball in No. 7’s hands and win the football game.”

We’ll talk more about this later. For now, let’s talk about texts, baby.

(7:35 PM): Over/under on turnovers is, what, 5? I’m gonna take the under but nothing would surprise me

(7:36 PM): For The Record – All this talk of how good WVUs record is on Thursday nights scares me…

(7:44 PM): Stew acknowledges gold rush w/ blue sweater vest!

(7:50 PM): “i got a fever reed williams, and the only solution is more face paint!”

(7:53 PM): Why is Stew dressed like a high school teacher?

(7:53 PM): Texts from the game this time? I think coach stew took a page out of Jim Tressel’s book. The vest is classy!

(7:53 PM): Its a poor man’s homeless man’s jim tressel

(7:55 PM): I can’t see Stew in a sweater vest without thinking of all the Demetri Martin vest jokes. “Narrow cold front sweeping through Morgantown, dress appropriately.”

(7:58 PM): Thanks alric. Noel needed that i guess.

(7:58 PM): You could say that play was devine…see what I did there?

(7:58 PM): After those 2 plays…if we don’t score 45 pts, I consider it a failure on offense

(8:00 PM): Very prophetic on the “break em early” gameplan. Loved the tactical aspect of the first play. Loved the execution of the second.

(8:02 PM): Noel 77 yards untouched. Bout time for him to stop getting the ball, right?

(8:03 PM): Fowler just said we depantsed colorado on the devine run…

(8:05 PM): Why must our secondary play as if the Colorado WRs have swine flu?

(8:13 PM): Im drinking beer thru a straw. Does this mean i dont have to go to work tomorrow?

(8:17 PM): The only thing that could make this game more fun to watch would be if katie hnida was kicking!!

(8:18 PM): Dear WVU,
Defense maybe?
Sincerely, Cleveland Browns

(8:18 PM): Do they know they are supposed to want to win?

(8:22 PM): Jarrett Brown has produced more turnovers this year than your local Mom and Pop Bakery.

(8:22 PM): A woman in front of me just said, “i will start going to Marshall games and cheer if we lose to Marshall.”

(8:24 PM): Am I the ONLY person that’s noticed the Mountaineers tend to play, um, not so good when they decide to appease Nike and dress like a mustard jar??

(8:29 PM): You can’t blame mullen for these stupid fumbles.

(8:41 PM): Throwing into triple coverage? I thought high school football was tomorrow night.

(8:47 PM): What can brown do for me? Lets see. Sit on the bench.

(8:48 PM): 3 tos in the 2nd qtr. Im glad ball protection was worked on.

(8:48 PM): Woman in front of me now threatening to wear her marshall jersey to the game on the 17th. Gettin’ ugly.

(8:49 PM): Has any team ever valued the ball less than the West Virginia Mountaineers?

(8:50 PM): This is [pretty] stupid….we should be up at least 21-7

(8:51 PM): Instead of talking about how Jarrett brown is throwing for more yards than anyone ever, how about how our team turns it over more than a basketball team?

(8:52 PM): Well this crowd is o.u.t.

(8:53 PM): I’m going to turn this off…this is [rather] ridiculous.

(8:57 PM): Why do I feel like Sportcenter will show our game highlights with a graphic in the corner of the screen counting the fumbles?

(8:58 PM): Calling a [fairly obvious] hold already!!!

(8:59 PM): We’re making the worst qb in college football look like Fran Tarkenton

(9:02 PM): That field goal ought to seal it up. We should win 52-10 but not this night! Never let them forget that they played the worst hands team in America!

(9:02 PM): All the alcohol we smuggled in is gone and so is this team’s spirit.

(9:10 PM): As simple as it looked, that tdpass was an amazing throw.

(9:12 PM): Coach Bs teams never had this many turnovers in a game

9:19 PM): Eersports.com reports ball security issues under control.

(9:33 PM): Im not liking that the wvu band played pitt’s crowd participation song (“sweet caroline”).

(9:50 PM): Your boy from manassas is horrendous @ corner.

(10:02 PM): All these solid gains up the middle that Colorado keep getting would NEVER happen if Reed Williams was still alive.

(10:08 PM): Jarrett realizes the goal is to move FORWARD once the ball is snapped right?

(10:09 PM): Our o line is not good. Moreover, where is noel?

(10:11 PM): Nows the time for the shuffle pass…seriously.

(10:16 PM): Seriously, do they not know Sweet Caroline is a Pitt song?! RJB needs to handle this situation. Stop playing that song!!!

(10:19 PM): Start of the 4th quarter of a close game and a large chunk of the student section has already left? Words like lame and pathetic doesn’t even start to cover it

(10:26 PM): That’s a fullback going in…a fullback…

(10:27 PM): This Clarke kid looks like the answer to the Mountainers short yardage woes…I like him. Built like a bowling ball

(10:54 PM): 35 that should have been 70…i hate to whinge about a win but when are these guys going to realize how talented they are?

(12:14 AM): Sweet caroline eat [it] pitt
