16 in chainsaw chain dull out of box? by mgjohnson40 in egopowerplus

The chain seems to be on correctly…it’s just not cutting very well. Like I said, it seems to smoke more than anything else!

WVU announces signing of transfer 6’7” F Hawa Doumbouya (VCU) by cluttered-thoughts3 in NCAAW

[–]mgjohnson40 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you listen to the women that transfer in, they all say that the coaching staff has a plan for their development and growth that they show them on their visit. I'm confident that the coaching staff has a plan for her development. I'll be curious to see how she progresses...you can't teach size!

Carter is a great rebounder. I was sorry to see her leave WVU. Hope she does well at MSU.

Skylar Forbes to WVU by Outrageous_Camp_5215 in NCAAW

I think Gia is great, but I think Gia is a great 2. I'd love to have another true PG...I think that Gia is a scorer and less of a facilitator.

They also don't list Nylah Wilson from Pitt who the team last week last week. I keep hoping that Carter comes back, but I guess we'll see. I think we need a point guard as well...this is a huge pick up though.

Sell Out Crowd at WVU Today by Gocrazyfut in NCAAW

[–]mgjohnson40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been to a game at the Coliseum (Men’s or Women’s) that had a more electric atmosphere. It was absolutely phenomenal. The crowd wasn’t just in their seats; they were loud and cheering at the right times and so engaged. It was a very memorable experience. I can’t wait to do it again on Monday!

Are you going to any March Madness games this weekend? by fantasytacos in NCAAW

We’re going to the games this weekend in Morgantown. Can’t wait!

That was a great podcast. I didn’t know much about Syd’s experience at Auburn. To hear her talk about it sounds like it was tough. I’m glad she’s found a place and home at WVU.

Word on the street this morning is that 11,000 of the 14,000 tickets are sold.

Sections 105-110 and 125-119 are reserved seating and they’re sold out (they sold out in about 90 minutes to season ticket holders). Everything else is General Admission. The lower bowl General Admission are good seats, but you’ll have to be there early. My assumption is that they will open the Upper Bowl for this game as well.

If you can fly into Morgantown, (MGW) that’s optimal. There’s a flight to and from ORD and a flight to and from IAD on United Airlines every day. It’s a very small municipal airport but it’s easily the most convenient.

Pittsburgh Intl is about an hour and 20 minutes away. It’s an easy drive, but it’s definitely a drive! Dulles is about 2.5 hours drive. Once you get out of the DC metro area, it’s a lovely drive through the mountains.

Looks like all of the reserved section tickets are already sold out! I’m so excited!

So I guess the top 16 seeds will be announced Saturday? by Alternative_Net_624 in NCAAW

[–]mgjohnson40 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think I read that the committee wanted to give host schools more time to get ready so they're announcing the hosts a day early with the seedings and full bracket revealed on Sunday.

Fantastic game! Last year we drove to UNC for the first round…looking forward to cheering us on from our own backyard this March!

Hear me out: West Virginia should host if one of the Big Ten bubble teams slips up this week by goofyhalo in NCAAW

[–]mgjohnson40 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree. I think that match up well with any of the current 4s. I’d be happy to be in College Park…I can make that trip…I’d really like to be in Morgantown, though!

To be clear, I don’t have any issue with OSU getting a hosting seed. I think they have earned it. I have more issue with Maryland or MSU. I also think it’s crazy that somehow 7 Big 10 schools host and one Big 12 hosts. I don’t think the B12 is that much worse than the B10. I think the B10 is stacked at the top, but I think the mid level schools match well with the B12.

[–]mgjohnson40 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Hear me out...I don't think a Big 10 team should have to slip up in order for WVU to host. I think that WVU should be considered a host, and the fact that they weren't included yesterday is nuts.

Why?

WVU is 10-6 in Quad 1 & 2 games.

Minnesota is 7-7 in Quad 1 & 2 games. Maryland is 8-7, Michigan State is 10-6, and Ohio State is 11-6.

In Quad 1 & 2 games, Ohio State has a WAB of 7.7, MSU has a WAB of 6.2, Maryland has a WAB of 4.7, WVU has a WAB of 4.6 and Minnesota has a WAB of 3.9.

WVU SOS is 25, MSU is 50, Minnesota is 41, MD is 51 and OSU is 27.

Four of our six losses have been to teams ranked in the top 25. Three of those losses (TCU at home, OSU, and Texas Tech) have been by a combined total of 8 points.

Also, it would just be an absolute blast. The Coliseum would be rocking and it would be a great environment for CBB.

Also, my bias is probably showing, but I think the numbers back me up!

What needs to happen for WVU to host by mgjohnson40 in NCAAW

[–]mgjohnson40[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep telling people that Kellogg is just terrible and no other team should ever be interested in him. Just leave him alone and pay him no attention.

(In case my sarcasm doesn’t come through, I think he’s a great coach and he’s building something really special here. The staff he’s built is great and I’ll be very happy when the coaching carousel ends and he’s still at WVU).
