Hello, again. Let’s sports!
May 2, 2017 by Mike Casazza
In case you asked yourself recently, “What’s Kevin Jones up to?”
That’s the West Virginia all-timer who’s now the leading scorer and rebounder at Lokomotiv-Kuban. Don’t worry — laugh? — because he’s not giving up his day job. This was all for charity.
For two months, we had been collecting money for Anastasia Charity Foundation to provide children with necessary aid. And now Kevin Jones wants to thank you by a top music video Lyubi Menya Lyubi for a song by the Russian pop-band Otpetye Moshenniki. Feel the perfect Russian pronunciation of our center!
Now, for housekeeping …
… some stuff did happen while I was gone.
- Jevon Carter winked at the NBA. He was not invited to the combine.
- The NFL friended Rasul Douglas and Shelton Gibson in the draft and then a bunch of players after the draft. It’s worth watching those players. They get to pick, and a few of those matchups are really good fits.
- Details of the previously reported new scoreboard at Mountaineer Field were revealed.
- The baseball team went 2-2. (Manoah!) The Mountaineers are two games out of first place in the conference. Alone in third place, they play host to second-place Texas Tech in a massive three-game series this weekend. Weather permitting.
- A football recruit chose the Mountaineers over offers from Florida, Tennessee, Maryland and Louisville.
And now we’re back to business. Feel free to chime in on any of those items — I can cover your thoughts in the F Double this week — but I myself don’t want to spend too much time here on what happened in the past. It’s not cool.
Shall we proceed?
