36 trucks remove fire fuel (couches) as WVU-LSU game looms
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Cleanup crews filled three dozen dump trucks with furniture and trash from hundreds of rental properties Thursday as Morgantown officials tried to prevent or at least downsize the street fires that have long typified weekends at West Virginia University.

Fire marshals posted hundreds of notices on doors earlier this week as excitement builds for Saturday night's football game between No. 16 West Virginia and No. 2 LSU. Both teams are 3-0. ESPN's "College GameDay" is broadcasting from Morgantown all day Saturday, and win or lose, the potential for revelry is high. Kickoff is at 8 p.m.

Prediction: In a season first, WVU decides to play four whole quarters to pull off the upset. 'Eers win by 3.

2. Boo hoo, we got whupped.
No shame there, we put up a good fight against the #1 ranked team in the country. There's some good things I could say about LSU but it's hard for me to respect a team that cheats by faking injuries. The NCAA should do something serious to discourage the practice.

Well we didn't drop out of the top 25 (we're #22 now) and I believe we'll win all the rest of our games this year. We'll see.
