Frank Young's first significant college playing time came in Madison Square Garden. Starter Tyrone Salley was ill and glued to a toilet in his hotel room, and coach John Beilein turned to the then-sophomore, and Young's college career began that night -- he scored 14 points and helped WVU destroy Boston College. WVU went on to the finals of the Big East tournament, and then to the Elite Eight.

And Frank Young's career ended last night much like it began -- with a dominating victory on the Madison Square Garden floor. Young shredded the net all night long, partially because he's a great shooter, and partially because Clemson was as well-equipped to guard WVU's offense as Richard Simmons is to win the world heavyweight boxing championship. Frank the Tank finished with 24 points on 6-of-7 shooting from three-point land, and the Mountaineers pounded the Clemson Tigers, 78-73, in a game that wasn't nearly as close as the scoreboard would indicate...

I'm so glad to see Frank Young get the recognition he so richly deserves. That guy (undeservedly)toiled in obscurity for all but this year of his college career.

2. Frank Young came out smokin' last night...

I was glad to see him get the recognition he deserves too. Those three pointers were beautiful!(Almost Heaven) I'm worried now more about the coach than about the couch.

3. WTG "Wet Virgina"

OMG!

4. We even got a mention on Countdown on Friday

Of course, it was about the misspelled NIT championship shirts (West Virgina!). Well, at least it wasn't our fault.

6. THEY are always trying to steal our coaches!

Always trying to haul everything of any value away from our state! THEY are even stealing our mountain tops!
