Mountaineers look to be finished at 19 signees

By Colin Dunlap | 1:03 p.m. Wednesday

West Virginia looks to be done at 19 signees. What I have been told by people "in the know' at WVU is that highly-regarded recruit Latwan Anderson a wide receiver from Glenville in Cleveland, will take a little more time (as in, he won't decide today) on what he's doing about school. He had committed to WVU, but now USC has entered the picture and Ohio State is also there. That said, expect this to, perhaps, drag a bit.

Instead of going on about who did not sign, let's concentrate on who did. Here are the 19 (new) men of Morgantown:

Dante Chambers, WR, 6-0, 175, Miramar, Fla./Miramar High School

Quantavius Leslie, WR, 6-4, 180, Hogansville, Ga./Callaway

Ivan McCartney, WR, 6-3, 183, Miramar, Fla./Miramar High School

Troy Gloster, LB, 6-0, 200, Germantown, Md./Good Counsel

Marquis Wallace, OL, 6-5, 290, Richmond, Va./Varina

Trey Johnson, RB, 5-10, 172, Richmond, Va./Varina

Qudral Forte, DB, 6-1, 190, Atlanta, Ga./Booker T. Washington

Wes Tonkery, S, 6-1, 190, Shinnston, W.Va./Bridgeport High School

Travis Bell, FS, 6-2, 187, Belle Glade, Fla./Glades Central

Jewone Snow, LB, 6-3, 230, Canton, Ohio/Canton McKinley High School

Doug Rigg, LB, 6-1, 215, Oradell, N.J./Bergen Catholic

Barry Brunetti, QB, 6-0, 207, Memphis, Tenn./Memphis University School

Michael Dorsey, S, 6-3, 210, Warren, Ohio/Harding

Jeremy Johnson, QB, 6-2, 175, Kountze, Texas/Silsbee

Bruce Irvin, DE, 6-3, 235, Walnut, Calif./Mt. San Antonio Community College

Trevor Demko, DE, 6-6, 245, Kulpmont, Pa./Mount Carmel Area

Deon Long, WR, 6-0, 175, Washington, D.C./Hargrave Military

As of 10 a.m., there are 11 players signed

By Colin Dunlap | 10 a.m. Wednesday

A TURNPIKE REST STOP SOMEWHERE NEAR HARRISBURG, Pa. -- I have been getting the updated West Virginia University Letter of Intent signees sent to me via e-mail, and have been checking them on my BlackBerry, as I am on my way to Philadelphia for the Duquesne/Temple basketball game tonight.

As of right now, there are 11 players signed, with the biggest being Barry Brunetti, the QB from Memphis, who saw his verbal commitment waver a bit. But, in the end, Bill Stewart reeled him in.

Signing Day coverage plans

By Colin Dunlap | 3:09 p.m. Tuesday

Check here for Signing Day coverage tomorrow.

For most of the morning, I will be driving to Philadelphia, as I am covering the basketball game between Duquesne and Temple on Wednesday night. But, that said, through the power of the Internet and the help of the West Virginia University sports information office, I should be tuned into the happenings in Morgantown and will post them as I get them.

Brown to Senior Bowl

By Colin Dunlap | 6:44 p.m. Wednesday

For the second consecutive year, the Under Armour Senior Bowl will feature a West Virginia quarterback on its South roster. Mountaineers quarterback Jarrett Brown today accepted an invitation to the Jan. 30 game in Mobile, Ala. 

Former West Virginia quarterback Pat White, who now plays for the Miami Dolphins, earned most valuable player honors in last year's game.

Brown joins Florida's Tim Tebow and Oklahoma State's Zac Robinson as the other South team quarterbacks.

The game and all practices will be televised by the NFL Network.

David McMichael (re)hired as assistant

By Colin Dunlap | 1:22 p.m. Friday

Someone is coming back to Morgantown.....

West Virginia football coach Bill Stewart announced the hiring of assistant coach David McMichael today.
McMichael will coach the tight ends and serve as special teams co-coordinator.
McMichael returns to West Virginia after serving as an assistant coach at Connecticut for the past nine years, working with the tackles, tight ends and special teams.
McMichael spent 18 years at West Virginia as an assistant coach under Don Nehlen, coaching the offensive tackles and tight ends. Prior to that, he had stints at Southern Illinois (1980-82) as the defensive line coach and three years (1977-79) as the offensive line coach at Muskingum College.
"It's great to come back home to West Virginia University," McMichael said. "Bill Stewart is a tremendous person, who I've worked with in the past. I am excited now to work for him. He is a quality leader who has tremendous vision and the ability to coach football. During my years that I was gone from here, I always had a spot in my heart for this place, and now I get to be a full-fledged member of the staff again."
A three-year letterwinner on the offensive line for Nehlen at Bowling Green, McMichael helped lead the Falcons to a 19-10-1 during his final three seasons, including two of the school's biggest wins over Purdue and Syracuse. 
"David's ability as a coach and recruiter are exceptional as his 35-year coaching resume can attest," Stewart said. "I was very impressed with the job he did as a member of the staff at Connecticut, helping lead the Huskies to winning seasons and bowl games."

Devine, Sanders coming back for senior years

By Colin Dunlap | 5:09 p.m. Thursday

West Virginia running back Noel Devine and wide receiver Jock Sanders will return next year for the senior seasons of eligibility.
Both had considered forgoing their final season of eligibility and entering the NFL Draft.
"It's all about unfinished business on the field and in the classroom," Devine said.
Sanders said, "Coming back for my senior season will not only help me gain more experience and knowledge on the football field, but most importantly like Noel, I also will be the first in my family to earn a college degree."

Someone is not a Jeff Mullen fan ....

FSU 33, WVU 21 -- The early game story

By Colin Dunlap | 10:35 p.m. Friday

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

Florida State gave legendary coach Bobby Bowden -- guiding his Seminoles team for the 417th, and final, time today -- some send off.

The Seminoles (7-6) capped a week that served as a celebration of Bowden's career with a 33-21 victory against West Virginia (9-4) in the Gator Bowl today at Jacksonville Municipal Stadium.

The game, played in front of a Gator Bowl record crowd of 84,129, saw West Virginia fritter away a 14-3 lead in the early going.

West Virginia played the second half without starting quarterback Jarrett Brown, who injured his ankle late in the first half, forcing true freshman Geno Smith to step in and play the remainder of the contest.

The biggest score -- at the time -- came when Florida State running back Jermaine Thomas scored on a 19-yard touchdown with 3:50 left in the third quarter, giving Florida State a 23-14 advantage.

But West Virginia fought right back, getting a 5-yard touchdown from fullback Ryan Clarke on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 23-21 in Florida State's favor.

The lead that was narrowed expanded again, as the Seminoles stretched it to 30-21 on a 2-yard touchdown from quarterback EJ Manuel with about 9 minutes left.

Dustin Hopkins kicked a 37-yard field goal with 2:02 left to elevate the lead to 33-21.

At the outset, at the very beginning, it looked as if West Virginia was going to sour this big going-away party.

West Virginia went ahead, 7-0, making it look very easy on its opening drive.

The Mountaineers stormed right through the teeth of Florida State's defense, going ahead when quarterback Jarrett Brown went untouched around the right side from 32 yards to cap an eight play, 72-yard drive.

On the drive, four of those plays went for first downs.

The Seminoles made it 7-3 on a 26-yard Hopkins field goal with 7:02 left in the first quarter.

Devine then took over on the next West Virginia drive, racing 70 yards to put his team in scoring position, then punching the ball in from the 1 to go up 14-3.

From there, though, West Virginia slowed mightily in the first half.

A 12-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter Thomas -- after Florida State missed a field goal and Brown then threw an interception -- made it 14-10, West Virginia.

Another Hopkins field goal, late in the second quarter, pushed the game into halftime at 14-13 and then yet another field goal -- this one just after halftime -- put the Seminoles up, 16-14.

LIVE GATOR BOWL THREAD

By Colin Dunlap | 10:28 a.m. Friday

JACKSONVILLE, Fla.

Made it to the seat in the press box.

Here:

By the way, if you are going to place a wager on this game (legally, in Nevada, of course) here's a tip: It is rainy and windy...more windy than rainy.

10:37 a.m.: One small logistical gripe about things. Here you go, I'll be brief: The parking lots here are denoted by letter, as in 'Parking Lot B' or 'Parking Lot F' and so on. This makes things tough because people, when they need to make split decisions, comprehend a sign slowly that reads: "Lots F-P." To that point, these lots should be denoted by number.

Also, when you denote them by letter, don't you limit the lots to 26?

I don't know, just a small gripe.

11:27 a.m.: By the way, saw the Gov. a few times during the week -- Joe Manchin. Guy has been flying around, police-escort style. He loves him some spotlight.

11:31 a.m.: Still rainy and windy. Not a good thing for the West Virginia special teams which struggle to begin with.

11:43 a.m.: The Mountaineers will be wearing a 'CH' sticker on their helmets to celebrate the life of Chris Henry. 

12:13 p.m.: You see the craziest things just hanging around press boxes. You know, kind of like random sound dishes sitting on the floor:

12:37 p.m.: West Virginia is wearing yellow jerseys on top of white pants; Florida State has red tops, gold pants.

12:46 p.m.: The teams just came together at midfield and yelled and screamed at each other. You know how those things go down, no one really wants to fight (unless The U is involved), instead, they just want to yell. You will see it on the telecast, to be certain.

12:56 p.m.: Bowden just made his way onto the field w/ his wife Ann. He is standing watching a video tribute to himself right now.

1:07 p.m.: The guy on the horse is about to throw that flaming spear in the ground...and we are about to start. WVU will receive.

1:23 p.m.: That looked pretty easy, huh? 7-0 WVU. Maybe the Noles really are a 6-6 team.

1:31 p.m.: FSU is marching the ball, answering WVU. But, do you think Robert Sands can hit? Jeeeez!

1:40 p.m.: Devine had a 70 yard gain and the Mountaineers are looking to make it 14-3. I don't know how many 50+ yard carries he has, but he might lead the country.

1:47 p.m.: WVU up 14-3 on a short TD from Devine. Upon scoring, Devine pointed to the FSU sideline at Deion Sanders.

1:56 p.m.: 14-3 end of 1....longest quarter in world history.

2:07 p.m.: FSU brings out a trick play, a reverse to the motion guy. The Noles are at the 25, going in. Seems as if they have, now, overtaken the momentum.

2:15 p.m.: Something I noticed. This stadium has a big replay board on each end...guess that is one thing it has going for it.

2:20 p.m.: And Noel Devine has 127 yards with 9:45 left before halftime.

2:37 p.m.: FSU just kicked a field goal to cut it to 14-13 at the half. After the third down play, there was 42 seconds (or thereabouts) left. A question, should Stewart have called one of his two timeouts? He will now take two of them into the locker room.

2:43 p.m.: Jarrett Brown did not take that final snap of the half, Geno Smith did. Brown was taken to the locker room with an injured ankle just before the half. A status on his return is unknown right now, as we are in halftime.

2:57 p.m.: Nothing definite on Brown's return, yet.

3:06 p.m.: They say Brown is no doubtful...expect Geno.

3:12 p.m.: Geno it is.

3:16 p.m.: Why are they not just handing it, over and over and over to Devine?

3:26 p.m.: Still 16-14 FSU. Don't know what is going to happen, but I think, from here on out, you have to hang this one on Devine -- give it to him 12784902387182374 times if you have to.

3:30 p.m.: As I was walking in today, I never thought Geno Smith would throw a pass for Carmen Connolly. But that just happened.

3:36 p.m.: Yikes. FSU ahead 23-14 after a WVU punt and quick-strike FSU score. Some of the media are starting to question WVU's playcalling.

3:48 p.m.: The ultra-efficient Ryan Clarke just scored...the shootout is absolutely on right now. FSU 23, WVU 21. Here we go, will be a tremendous fourth quarter -- if West Virginia just plays within themselves, rather than trying to do too much.

3:58 p.m.: Florida State scored to go up 30-21. That is the bad thing if you are West Virginia. What could, possibly, be good, if you are West Virginia, is that EJ Manuel looks dinged up.

4:10 p.m.: WVU didn't hit on a fourth down. They are down, 30-21 with 6:28 left....doesn't look good. If I'm a betting man, I say this one is over.

5:39 p.m.: Just got back from the media stuff. 33-21. I will update the blog more when I get back to hotel later.
