Tough and ugly loss on Saturday. Not worth sugar coating it.

On Monday we rise. I expect each and every Mountaineer to rise together as well!

We are in need of someone to take over the maintenance of the MMB. Yosef has done it for a long time, and we are grateful for all he has done, but life happens and he no longer has the time to devote to its upkeep. If anyone here is interested in helping to keep the board running, please let me know via DM.
How will you rise?

It's funny. Right before I read your post, this scene popped into my head.

Re: How will you rise?
Saints are only sinners who fall down ... and get up.
One thing I learned showing hunter / jumper (horses) was that falling down / off is inevitable. Getting back on the horse after you've landed on your back isn't easy. Making that 3.5' jump you just landed on after you get back on the horse is one of the sweetest experiences in the world.
As fans, we have a choice. Throw everyone under the bus and be sure they stay down with us ... or get up and be sure we're all standing at the end. Win or lose, I'd rather be standing with my Mountaineer family than anywhere else on earth.
Go App! Beat UTC!

If serving is beneath you, then leading is beyond you.
