Mountaineer Report: Can Rich Rodriguez Follow Curt Cignetti? WVU in NCAA Tournament Picture
Does what Curt Cignetti has achieved at Indiana of all places prove Rich Rodriguez can deliver a national championship to WVU? Mike Asti and Luke Blain discuss both sides to what Cignetti’s national title means for West Virginia on the latest edition of Mountaineer Report.
After the football talk, they then offer both the glass half full and glass half empty takes for the prospects of Ross Hodge getting WVU basketball back in the NCAA Tournament.

He’ll be lucky if he matches Frank Cignetti, Sr. who had 10 wins after his first two seasons at WVU.
Comparing Rodriguez to Curt is crazy stupid but par for course in these parts.

The legacy media surely has its faults but at least the barriers to entry are high enough stooges like this guy are not employed to publish nonstop garbage.

Iโve literally worked for multiple legacy media companies. You have no idea what youโre talking about. Do some research.
