This is a story of West Virginia football; how it rose to prominence, faded to impertinence, and after a hiccup, is returning to relevance―all while remaining one of the most ambiguous teams in the country.
It’s safe to say that without West Virginia, the Big East wouldn’t be where it is today. That’s not a joke […]

I am going to give it away at the beginning…but I told you so! Last week, I predicted we would see Donnie Avery in Marc’s weekly rookie rankings at some point this season. Well, after hanging 163 yards and a touchdown against the Patriots in week eight, Avery makes his much-anticipated debut.

Missed out on the Rookie Report last week. Marc had to put in some overtime at his real job, and I dropped the ball. My bad.
Anybody riding some of these guys this season? I have used Jonathan Stewart a few times in spot action. I know Matt Forte owners have used him pretty extensively, though […]

Sometimes injuries and bye weeks fill in your fantasy football line-ups for you; however, more often than not, you have a choice to make. Make the right choice and you’re Sunday will be golden; make the wrong choice and you’re cursed with the dreaded “What ifs!”
We, here, at the Bruno Boys don’t want you to […]

Five games into the 2008 season, WVU is 3-2, averaging about half as many points as it did last year and has had three straight games with its starting tailback failing to gain 100 yards.
I tossed this question out to some friends today so I’ll do the same here: What would be the current record […]

In recent years, the Big East has improved from being a joke of a BCS conference (now the Big Ten) to the fourth best conference in college football. Other than Syracuse, every team in this league has a shot at the Big East title.
Winner: West Virginia
Despite losing coach Rich Rodriguez, West Virginia still has […]

There’s been a lot of talk about Pat White and the West Virginia offense passing more this year. Going off the top of my head and not wanting to look to see what his numbers actually were, it seems like he’s had about 200 yards passing in the past three spring games.
Following each spring game, […]

For years, conventional wisdom said college speed resided only at the Florida schools, in the SEC and in certain Big 12 schools: Chiefly, Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska (backfield only, for the Huskers). The Big 10, the Big East, the ACC—those were the conferences of thick-necked plodders, players with the build and 40-yard-dash time of Peter […]
