200 Years Too Late

Shuffle up & deal, Pirates!

Get ready for the Pirate Club's "A Night in G-Vegas" event that will serve as a fundraiser for the 2009 scholarship fund. I can't think of a better way to bring in a lot of money for the 2009 scholarship fund and also give the Pirate fans an opportunity to meet and greet and gamble (fake money of course). Dinner and drinks will be included and you will have the chance to win a bunch of great prizes like beach vacations and off-shore fishing trips. Read the post to find out more about the prizes, the food, the celebrity dealers and much, much more.

WVU is already facing serious injuries at QB and the season hasn’t started

Last week, West Virginia's Eugene Smith, the freshman third string QB, broke his foot "in an unspecified off-the-field incident" and is expected to miss 6-to-8 weeks of preseason practice.
