The Sock 'Em, Bust 'Em Board Because that's our custom

Special occasion, special exception

The Fourth Tier doesn’t do Texts From Game Day during basketball season, though there have been exceptions. This seems like time for an exception.

WVU’s season is going sideways and, barring the extraordinarily unlikely, will end outside the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. Those Mountaineers won the NIT.

These Mountaineers will have to do some work to get into the NIT — I’m sorry, but that’s the truth, especially if  they’re two games under .500 tomorrow morning with two left against Baylor and one more left against Oklahoma, Oklahoma State, Kansas State and Kansas in the final 11 conference games.

Maybe something special starts tonight or maybe this is just a special night and this is just a season that only has opportunities like this remaining, chances to shine on national television and do something fun and memorable.

Either way, it’s time for TFGD. Tell your friends. Let’s pick the world up and drop it on their texting heads.
