old gold and blue afterglow

as i contemplate a drive to morgantown to have my picture taken with a fruit bowl, i'm still basking in the glow of my west virginia mountaineers setting an all-time bowl record for points in their win against clemson in the orange bowl.

i spent most of the hours following the game sopping up as much online gravy as i could. suffice to say, my favorite aggregator did all that for me the morning after.

here's one from one of my favorite college football bloggers at the pre-snap read that posted after the smoking musket's compilation.

(it's sweet; a great appreciation of this year's team from an objective observer.)

and this, from the daily mail's sports editor is worth a read because my buddy jack has seen so much that his astonishment means so much more.

of course, possibly my favorite commentary wasn't from a sports writer. it came from our graphic artist.

"now, you know i'm not a wvu fan," he said to me. (for a marshall grad, that's putting it mildly.) "but what they did in that game was impressive."

when your critics take note, you know you've done well.
