WVU rents Marshall's Rec Center?

Rumors spread today that West Virginia University had rented Marshall University's Rec Center as a meeting place for WVU fans before the game on September 10. Many students in class called athletic directors and other various potential leads to try to get to the bottom of this rumor. No one could get a straight answer as to what was going on. Although the recreation center's website explained the center was going to close early that day for the game, it did not say it was for those purposes. It would not surprise me if Huntington let WVU rent the rec center because Huntington will do anything for some extra cash. It would also add to the hype of the highly anticipated Friends of Coal Bowl. In my opinion, we don't need anymore drama or hype added to this game- there is definitely enough already!

Furyk Oversleeps

Jim Furyk over slept Tuesday night, causing him to be disqualified for the tournament. The reason for this? His cellphone was not charged and died, causing his alarm to not go off. He missed his tee time and was not allowed to make it up. I do feel bad that he overslept and therefore was disqualified. But I mean, rules are rules and if someone breaks the rule he or she should accept the consequences. Furyk handled the situation with class and accepted the responsibility of being late. It is sad he was disqualified, but they have to make an example of him to other golfers because if not, everyone would know they could get by with being late.
