I was surfing Rivals WVSports Dot Com and came across the Living a Fantasy headline. It detailed the inside story of Coach Rodriguez’s Fantasy Football Camp. Still I suppose it is a bargain. All of the so-called “Big-Boy” schools charge twice as much money and I bet that they don’t give the campers as much as access. I mean, I would sure think about saving my dollars and attending next year so that I could take digital pictures of Steve, Pat and Owen Schmitt lifting weights. Mountaineer Football ‘Til death do us part’.
Do we need to pay Coach Rodriguez and his staff more money? Is this a plea for financial help from our leaders? I think that they have to prostitute themselves with this fantasy camp just to score ‘walking around’ money. Plus who is minding the henhouse while all of our coaches and star players are grabbing ass with these rich fatcats? If we stumble, look back at this camp and remember that we blinked. We lost our ‘Poker Stare’.
But then I wonder: Do I love or hate what ESPN and the BCS Dream is doing to my Eers…Are we whoring out our program for the whims of rich fat cats. Is this how we pay the cost of chasing BCS Glory? A fricking fantasy camp, for crying out loud? We are NOT FLORIDA, nosireebob, we are Christians that worship the Lord God Jesus in Heaven…we are not like them lawless heathens down in Gainesville. Our mommas and daddys raised us better than that….$2000 apiece to eat, sleep and breathe WVU football for three days? To receive a fucking tote bag? There had better be a WVU Cornhole Board buried deep somewhere in that tote bag for 2000 bucks.
“The guys are pretty excited about the jerseys,” said WVU video coordinator Dusty Rutledge, who played an integral role in organizing the camp. “They’ve actually had a chance to see what the new gold jerseys look like. The gold on the jerseys in the stores isn’t quite like the gold on the authentic jerseys, so these guys are getting the real deal.”
Just read that jersey quote again. Apparently the gold jerseys that the fat cats received are better than one I got over Clarksburg last week. I thought that my jersey made a conservative yet explosive fashion statement of the season. just like our offense, but I guess if I see the fantasy camp uniform and I would wonder…is that a BCS “crown of thorns” Thomas?
Are we now facing our greatest test as we stand on the precipice of a civil war inside the Mountaineer Nation family? The coming weeks will force every Eer fan to make a decision; stand with Coach Rodriguez and his pursuit of his elusive BCS Dream or do we stand against him. Do we chase the BCS Dream? And at what terrible cost to our beloved Eers? Read about this Fatboy’s experience. I drank a six pack of Old Milwaukee while I read about old Derek Farley. I recommend that you get you some comparable quality pilsner to drink while you read this mess of shit below:(Morgantown)– If you ask Derek Farley about his new favorite vacation spot, don’t expect him to tell you about a secluded tropical hideout or a faraway resort. After attending the inaugural Rich Rodriguez Fantasy Football Camp, Farley has a new, and somewhat atypical, summer destination.
It’s been awesome. If I had to summarize this camp in one word, it would be ‘access.’ I was at a bar on my first night singing ‘Country Roads’ with the coaches. I mean, where else can you get that kind of access to WVU football?”
As his fellow campers stoved their fingers trying to catch
soaring punts launched out of a JUGGS machine, Farley looked down at
his gold and blue Nike running shoes and smiled. One was signed by
White. The other was signed by Slaton.
At that point, Farley wanted to be in nobody’s shoes but his own.
