And the annual WVU Bowl Game tradition continues:
Scott McBrien threw for a career-high 381 yards to help Maryland (No. 24 ESPN/USA Today, No. 23 AP) to a 41-7 victory over West Virginia (No. 23, No. 20) in the Gator Bowl on Thursday, a rematch of a regular-season game that was almost as lopsided…
Instead, they reinforced their remarkable penchant for flopping in bowl games. West Virginia is 1-10 in its last 11 bowl appearances, 0-2 during Rich Rodriguez’ tenure by a combined score of 89-29.
“Our preparation was probably no different than Maryland’s or anyone else’s,” Rodriguez said. “We were focused. Our intensity in practice was good. We were excited about playing. We just didn’t play well. Maryland’s a better team.”
Humiliating.

Visiting from nicedoggie.net. I attended UT-El Paso. Don’t feel too bad; our teams suck year in and year out. We are, however, temporarily elated at being able to secure the services of the storied Mike Price. You remember him, he almost sort of coached football at Alabama for a time until he wandered into a strip joint.
