Last time MU played WVU was the Country Road game, Feb 2012.
I honestly can not believe that game was almost ten years ago.
My freshman year at Marquette.
The wild speculation through McCormick on why so many guys were suspended for that game was something.
What a great win that was. Refresh my memory....wasn't Cadougan suspended for some reason until the 2nd half? I do recall he had a great performance that night.

Cadougan??
Yeah.
And Vander. And Todd. And DJO. Maybe more.
Buzz had to split up what half some guys sat.

I just remember Junior controlling the 2nd half. I think he had several sweet dimes down the stretch.
The starting lineup for that game was Derrick Wilson, Jamail Jones, Jae, Todd Mayo, and Jamil Wilson.
Otule and Davante were hurt. Mayo didn't play the second half, and that was Jamail's only start of the year.
Marquette had no business winning that. That game pretty much solidified Jae's POY over Kevin Jones.

Yep. Vander, DJO, and Cadougan were suspended for the first half. Todd the second half. It was pretty strange, but a very tense and emotional game. Jae sealed up Big East player of the year in that game. What a tough team that was. Think we'll be at that level again very shortly.

That's right. What a great 4yr stretch we had. Such a shame DJ got injured in the UCONN game but then we got three Juco badasses.
I forgot about the near riot that ensued.

This is a great thread. Hard not to be nostalgic.
Have we had a decent point guard since Cadougan?
The Couch Burners are excited to play MU as we are to take on Huggy Bear

How could you forget about that? It was the most memorable part after the win and the dance on the logo. Good times!

That was an all time Warrior victory. One of my favorite wins post Al and the suspensions and the dance made the night. Plus the boys had a little had fun when they got back into town.

I remember 2-3 WV guys having to be held back by either security or the cops. Pretty sure they wanted to go after Buzz face to face.

They had a little fun before the game. Hence the suspensions.
I love Raftery in that clip, knowing the mob is right behind him. Also, was that an inflatable donut he nearly gets hit with?

Year? Probably career.

Jae just alphaed the hell out of the entire state of WV that night. Let everyone know that Kevin Jones wasn't even in the same league as him as a basketball player.
The suspensions were hilarious to me. Stagger one half game suspensions? Hell of a life lesson. Must've really tipped that bottle over and let the sand flow out on that one.

Bingo - loved Buzz's results, but the guy was/is a dirtbag.
Speaking of Buzz/WV, I just saw that Jordan McCabe transferred from WV to UNLV this season. And somehow he has another season of eligibility left! The guy will be 24 1/2 when his college career ends. Wasn't it Buzz himself who offered him at MU?

Riot #2 was when Jae was named Big East POY instead of Kevin Jones. WV fans were flaming all of the Big East social media accounts when that was announced.

Buzz defying his boss. Lost all respect for him. The 2nd best day for me as a MU fan was him leaving,
Walking around the house this morning and just realized I was singing Country Roads to myself. Good times!

I started singing it when I took the dog out last night for a walk, and I can't get that damn song out of my mind!
Those students wanted to kill.
If you know someone from WV and really want to pull their chain, tell them that John Denver was actually singing about the part of Western Virginia where I live. The Blue Ridge mountains are in Virginia but not WV, forming one side of the Shenandoah Valley where, with the exception of only a very small percentage of its length, the Shenandoah River flows. I have hiked on the Blue Ridge and paddled a canoe on the Shenandoah and can assure you that I never crossed the line into WV.
I got a good laugh out of Tyler Coaler singing along. Any reports of, ummm, conflicts between MU and WVU fans as the crowd exited?

Yup, the best part about that factoid is that it is true, and the Mountaineer faithful refuse to acknowledge it.
We have a lot of business interests in West Virginia ( as well as Western Virginia) . The state is a very quirky place .
I can definitely confirm the song is about Wheeling ,West Virginia , as well as the beautiful roads in Western Virginia that lead up to it . I have asked the question many times over the years .
This article about the songwriters gives some fascinating detail about the history of how the song developed.

Also worth nothing these were the same song writers who wrote one of my favorite songs Afternoon Delight...
Sing acapella Hermie, aina?
Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down
Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight!

"We were driving on I 81 and there were the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Shenandoah River". Umm...I 81 is smack in the middle of the Shenandoah valley of
Virginia Herman! They were very clearly not in Wheeling WV, not even in the state of WV. But hey! Those Wheeling roads really got the songwriters' attention. I get the artistic license and the lyrics worked for a beautiful song but facts are facts. No "alternative facts" please.
I hope we play WV again, maybe in Milwaukee next year. Kolek can lead the student section into the song when we have the game locked up. It's fun to bait Huggy Bear. Maybe we can rile him up so he gets tossed after his second T.
Re: Afternoon Delight
Back in the 70's, Bill Danoff, who was a member of the Starlight Vocal Band, had lunch at Clyde's, in Georgetown. Their lunch menu was titled Afternoon Delight. He left, and thought, lunch, hell - I'll write a song about what afternoon delight should really be.

You did not read what I wrote I said ,The song is both about West Virginia and The roads leading up to it . You omitted this part of the article which clearly points this out.
At the time, Danoff was only 24 when the words to the song were first formulating in his mind. The part that is quintessential West Virginia, to Danoff, is the verse "I hear her voice in the morning hour she calls me, the radio reminds me of my home far away."
Danoff says that comes directly from his childhood in the 1950s listening to the program Saturday Night Jamboree on Wheeling's WWVA.
"It was a powerful station and we got it clearly in Springfield at nighttime," he said. "We used to call it hillbilly music in those days, and I think the people who did it called it hillbilly music, too."

It's really quite a terrible song.
Worst song about sex since "Why Don't We Do It In The Road." Actually, probably not as good as that Beatles throwaway song.
Starland Vocal Band had a variety show on TV the summer after that song became popular.
It was awful.
