Early April Fools?

Whoops.

West Virginia may have won the National Invitation Tournament, but the Mountaineers' commemorative T-shirts are less than championship material.

They contain a misspelling.

The "West Virginia" printed on the shirts players wore after winning the NIT title with a 78-73 victory over Clemson on Thursday night is missing the last "i" in "Virginia."

Sure, this may seem embarassing, but who doesn't love Virgina?

West Virginia's coach is a friend of my family -- his first division 1 coaching job was at Canisius College in Buffalo, and he and his wife lived three houses away from my parents. Their daughter Seana was a friend of mine in high school. He's a great guy, and I'm glad he won the NIT, but I know he's still chafed about having missed the NCAAs. comment by  Wade Garrett, 4/01/2007 7:44 PM

He's a great guy, and I'm glad he won the NIT, but I know he's still chafed about having missed the NCAAs. A chafed Virgina (coach)? That sounds painful. comment by  brian, 4/02/2007 4:00 PM

Did you see that Beilein just accepted the job at Michigan? comment by  Wade Garrett, 4/04/2007 12:33 PM
