MSNsportsNET -- West Virginia University Mountaineers: "According to the Courier-Journal's Eric Crawford, a reporter asked Louisville coach Bobby Petrino if he thought his program was on West Virginia's level.
Petrino replied, "Did you see last year's game?"
Yes, there are going to be some fireworks in Louisville, Ky., on Nov. 2 when the Mountaineers face the Cardinals. "

A list of Top 100 Heisman candidates

I read an article the other day about Louisville hyping the "Derby City Duo": of Brohm and Bush (ranked 5th and 7th in this article) as potential Heisman candidates. If this team of ours is the real deal we're going to need a catchy nickname for our own dynamic duo:


"10. QB Pat White, West Virginia - A year ago, Pat White was a non-entity to outside Morgantown. Today, he's one of college football's rising stars and a bona fide Heisman candidate in just his sophomore year. White didn't even begin 2005 as the starter, but after winning the job in October, he performed like a Michael Vick knockoff, rushing for almost 1,000 yards and leading the 'eers to a Sugar Bowl upset of Georgia.

***

8. RB Steve Slaton, West Virginia - West Virginia football is hot these days, and kids like Slaton and QB Pat White will be the beneficiaries of the unprecedented national exposure. Slaton was magnificent in his 2005 debut, shaking off early-season anonymity to finish with 1,128 yards on the ground and 19 touchdowns in just over half a season."

gansey to sign 2-year deal with miami heat

i think many people saw this coming:

1. miami was left with no action in last month's draft.
2. gansey slipped through the strangest, most unpredictable, least meaningful nba draft in my memory.
3. miami's core (except for the injury-waiting-to-happen in dwayne wade) is aging and depth behind wade is questionable.

...gansey will fight for playing time and will join wv's own jason williams under on-again, off-again coach pat riley as the heat try to repeat as champions in 06-07.

*edit: after initially posting this, i found out that kevin pittsnogle will also join the heat's summer league team. looks like they're not done teaming up.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Former West Virginia University standout guard Mike
Gansey is expected to sign a two-year rookie free agent contract with the NBA
champion Miami Heat today.

Gansey’s agent Mark Termini told the Dominion-Post that Gansey will fly to
Miami today to sign a contract that has a “significant” portion of it
guaranteed. Tuesday’s Elyria (Ohio) Chronicle Telegram indicated that if Gansey
fulfills both years of the contract he could earn more than $1 million.

Gansey was snubbed in last Wednesday’s draft despite being projected as a
possible first-round pick and a solid second-round choice. The 6-4 guard
averaged 16.8 points per game and shot 55 percent as a senior to help West
Virginia to a 22-11 record and the school’s second consecutive NCAA tournament
“Sweet 16” appearance.

Gansey scored 18 points in the Mountaineers’ 74-71 loss to Texas in
regional semifinals in Atlanta’s Georgia Dome on March 23. He spent two seasons
with West Virginia after transferring from St. Bonaventure. Gansey is projected
as a 2-guard in the NBA where he will vie for a backup job behind all-star
Dwyane Wade, who averaged 27.2 points per game and is currently negotiating a
long-term contract deal with the Heat.

Miami, which beat the Dallas Mavericks in six games to claim its first ever
NBA title, did not have a pick in this year’s draft.

Once Gansey signs with the Heat he is expected to join Miami’s summer
league team entrant in Orlando next week.
