Hey there, Mike, and welcome to GoTeamsGo. Thanks for joining us! Bit of a WVU fan myself... boy does that team look like they're in great shape next year or what? White and Slaton will be back and Coach Rod decided to stick around. The o-line's all that concerns me. Think they can challenge for the BCS title in '07?

Hi Chuck thanks for the welcome- I agree with you regarding the offensive line, they will be losing some talent there but they have been pretty good at gathering new. They will definitely miss Mozes. I think that if they do not make a run for BCS next year, that they will be missing their best chance ever. It seems the last time they had a chance at National Title was Fiesta Bowl against Notre Dame in 89. Harris was injured and that was over. It seems they are much different now. I believe they showed real spunk against Rutgers by winning with out White and Slaton still not 100%. Personally I would love to see Coach Rod utilize a backfield of Jarrett Brown, Pat White, Steve Slaton and perhaps throw Nate Sowers in the mix occasionally as receiver. I think Sowers would do better for himself to move to defense but he is a good QB too. If they ran a backfield like that it would really give the defensive coordinators a real headache. I am very happy the coach chose to stay, I think he feels he has a chance next year and that kept him more than anything else. Well I have rambled enough.

Hi Mike, welcome to GoTeamsGo. Most of our WV talk goes on in our Mountaineers forum. Hope you'll head over there to chime in on the Gator Bowl & the Coach Rod deal.

Look forward to chatting more with you.
