a couple of weeks ago i signed up - aka paid money - for a subscription to rivals.com. this gives me the inside scoop on the mountaineers and the deacons. i haven't exactly checked out the goings on with the deacs, but i have learned that the mountaineer faithful have nothing to worry about on the d line or on o (in the tragic event superman/wiggle worm is injured).
according to their reports we are totally ok without tharrington and washington...
"In '08 they will have the experience necessary to post more games like they had against Richmond and Delaware, even without Tharrington and Washington. In fact, due to a host of injuries in which Tharrington was suffering, there was no guarantee the Mountaineers would be featuring the same player they had grown accustomed to. Tharrington sat out the entire spring, and was recovering at a much slower rate than he needed to be ready for the season opener against LSU. Had he been academically eligible, Tharrington may have been headed straight for another injury-hampered season anyway. Does the loss hurt? Absolutely. But will the Mountaineers be worse off without him? Probably not, because who's to say Tharrington would have been physically ready to go? Because of the circumstances at hand, it looks as though we can only speculate from here on out. "
as far as coco backing up armanti, i'm not so sure that's going to be the case. it seems that red shirt freshman jamie degeare (ok, i'm totally clueless because i didn't know we had a qb in the wings AND he's from forsyth county)
Jamie DeGeare had a strong spring and will attempt to earn the top backup role.
or incoming freshman hotshot deandre presley will get the job.
