You are looking live at the student section inside the Coliseum, where it’s not too cold outside to make the media walk halfway around the building to get in the red gate, as opposed to the green gate closest to the parking lot. Never mind nobody checks bags at either gate. Just go to the red gate, briskly if you’re cold.

Wait … where was I? Oh, yes. Those white sheets of paper are the Maniac Musings and on normal days I’d take one and share it with you. If I took one today there would only be like 17 left for the students. Clearly, they’re not looking for a big turnout tonight.

And that makes two intriguing over/unders tonight:

1) WVU, a game below .500 with two home losses already, is an 11.5 point favorite against TCU, which is .500 and loser of five straight, each in the Big 12. That’s a lot of points for a team that doesn’t have a great offense playing against a team that doesn’t give you the normal amount of opportunities.

2) Attendance: 7,200?

You make the call …
