Man, I heard about Stewart's passing yesterday. I was out of town and just got back home to a computer. I feel bad for the guy because he passed obviously but all the stuff with Holgorsen and him taking over after Oliver Luck wanted Holgorsen.... May he rest in peace.

We all loved Stew and really wanted him to win at WVU. He is the kind of guy that you would want your son to play for. Problem was he hired an OC that had no experience and was in over his head. His loyalty to that OC is what ended up being his demise. The offense was causing us to lose games that we had no business losing.

The State of WV is in mourning and will be for a while.
