Segment 1: Basketball

WVU vs Oklahoma State

• Wow, OSU packed The Madison Square Garden of the Plains Gallagher-Iba Arena
• I still submit that anytime you have to say 'historic' Gallagher-Iba Arena that it's not in fact, historic. If it was so historic, we'd know it was historic.
• I learn new things from Big 12 officials every game. This game, I learned that you could get punched in the face and be called for a foul (illegal use of face?).
• We should be beating this team by 20 points, but it's tough early.
• Taz Sherman balling, and gives Lindy Waters a glance afer a made 3.
• Knapper scores. ESPN guys, "I'm not sure that was a shot."
• Oscar dunks on Gallagher's Iba.
• 28-19 at half time...   OSU average 1 basket every 2 minutes in this game.
• Culver still seems to get no contact fouls.
• McCabe hits a 3 and blows a kiss to their student section.
• Emmitt Matthews needs to change up the hair game pronto. #BringBackTheDoo
• Late push by OSU to try to get back in it. All 107 fans on their feet.
• Culver and OSU guy getting into it. I've never seen that big of a push not evolve into a fight. That guy wants none of Culver, he'd get touched up faster than Scoot on a bowl of mac n cheese.
• Can we please not run the play where we fall down trying to run this clock (guards falling everywhere).
• This was a tough game to watch even with a 14 pt win... 55 to 41 was rough. Super ugly game, thank goodness the three point line was essentially the Bermuda Triangle to them.
• Foul Shots still an issue...11-20 for the game; Culver 3-10.

22 Texas Tech vs 17 WVU

• Crowd seemed pumped to start the game.  Great to be home.
• Oscar - block, block, block early.
• Benson for Texas Tech looked like a young Nate Adrian.  Hair and hair band. 
• Super take to the hole early by Gabe, but couldn't quite finish. Fraschilla continues to say he couldn't score in an empty gym...
• Great passing (again) by Culver.
• Gweedoe watching this game in a room with his family while they all avoid him by wearing headphones and looking at other devices.
• Moretti for Tech dropping 3's all over the place, 3-4 early, and keeping them in it.
• Fraschilla refers to Oscar and Culver as the 'Twin Towers'.
• Can we PLEASE make some free throws. We finish 23-35, 66%. Struggles from the line are mostly Culver (again), 3-10.
• First half D could be better, a lot of chasing guys, back door cuts for open layups.
• Knapper with what I have to assume was not the play Huggs drew up to end the half, turnover, we are lucky they don't score, go into the locker room up 37 - 31.
• Consistently seem unorganized to start most 2nd halves.
• Unbeknownst to us, Tony Caridi apparently being inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame this evening, decked out in the gold jacket.
• Deuce gets loose! New career high, 22 points on 8-11 shooting.
• Fraschilla fat head spotted in the crowd.
• Gweedoe felt the gold rush crowd was a little weak, didn't bring the gold as much as he expected.
• Technical on Tech (Tech on Tech?); Gabe leaves injured on the play, returns a la Willis Reed.
• 5 second call on Tech inbounds, WVU ratcheting up the D. Fraschilla ends up calling it a defensive clinic.
• Can you imagine if the offense could really get going.
• Shaky passing, seemed to panic a bit with the Tech full court pressure.
• Great win. Hard to believe where this team was last season.
• Game highlights.
• Interesting stat tweet.

Other B-ball

• Is Miles McBride our Next Javon Carter?
• Baylor beat Kansas in Phog Allen Fieldhouse... Is Baylor the #1 team in the nation? Big XII up for grabs?
• WVU Women's team keeps winning with a 68 to 63 win over Texas in Morgantown. They play Oklahoma and #6 Baylor this week.

Segment 2: Football Coaching Moves 

• Gerad Parker (Scoot has now decided he's French -- Gerard) hired at OC and Wide Recievers coach. Played with Brown at Kentucky; WVU had two OC's last year (Matt Moore and Chad Scott were co-OC's).
• Jeff Koonz joins as the Linebackers Coach from Ole Miss; Lane Kiffen didn't retain him; 200K a year... he made 300K last year at Ole Miss. Bargin... (maybe Short term?... DC in the future).
