West Virginia, NU set for Classic
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — The last time West Virginia opened its season against a Big Eight opponent was 1982, when the Mountaineers surprised heavily favored Oklahoma 41-27.
The Associated Press
West Virginia once again is starting against a Big Eight foe: Nebraska in the kickoff Classic on Sunday in East Rutherford, N.J. Once more, theMountaineers are big underdogs (16-1/2 points).
But West Virginia coach Don Nehlen doesn't anticipate his 24th-ranked team will have the element of surprise on its side this time.
"Oklahoma was mad we were on their schedule." Nehlen said. "They had just beaten us by 42 points (in 1979) and they didn't feel like they ought to be playing us.
"When I first got here we were everybody's homecoming opponent."
"So we made a few changes and 'went out and beat' (Oklahoma)," said Nehlen, in his 15th season at West Virginia. "Nebraska is playing a team that was (11-1) last year. We haven't snuck up on anyone for eight or nine years."
Nehlen said. "And you know when somebody schedules you for homecoming, you've got problems.
The Mountaineers used the Oklahoma win to build their program.
Just two years later, they would beat Penn State for the first time since 1954. Since then, they've been 11-1 twice and had two legitimate chances at the national title.
But as their ranking at the bottom of most preseason polls indicates, the Mountaineers are still one step away from joining football's elite.
Nehlen believes the Nebraska game could be a big step toward that goal.
Nehlen's game plan usually is to establish a running game, then throw when defenders aren't expecting it. It works unless the Mountainers get too far behind.
this on TV. And a lot of high school football players are going to be watching this game, from New Jersey to North Carolina and all over.
"If we win this game, that's got to be a tremendous plus for our program," he said.
"My friends are going to be watching this on TV," Nehlen said. "All my players' friends are going to be watching
In last season's Sugar Bowl, they fell behind Florida 21-7 at halftime and then totally unraveled.
Since West Virginia should be strongest on defense this season, Nehlen doesn't plan on gambling.
"If Nebraska can beat us, so be it." Nehlen said. "But we don't want to beat ourselves. We have a guy who I think can punt the football well. Don't think when it's fourth-down and 6 inches to go that I'm not sending him in."
Minor league benefits from strike
Fans find new teams to take strikers' place
The Associated Press
Ever since the Bowie Baysox moved into their new ballpark in Maryland in mid-June, the crowds have been getting bigger and bigger.
Lately, though, Prince George's Memorial Stadium is jammed. And plenty of other places are filling up, too.
Boosted by nice weekend weather and bolstered by some extra advertising, minor league attendance has increased 14 percent since the start of the baseball strike.
"It looks like what the strike has done is to take our acceleration and nudge
it up a bit," said Dave Collins of the Baysox, the Double-A affiliate of the Baltimore Orioles. "But it's difficult to pin down exactly how many more people are coming because of the strike."
Through Monday, 11 of the 15 minor leagues that keep attendance figures reported increases. The big gainers were the Eastern League, up 53 percent, and the Midwest League, up almost 46 percent.
"I think a lot of it has to do with all of our parks being within an hour or two of major league cities," Eastern League president John Leventa said. "Places like Bowie, Trenton and Reading are close by for fans who are missing baseball."
The Southern, Northwest and Pioneer leagues each had decreases of less than 1
percent. The Texas League had fallen off 2.7 percent since the major league players' strike started Aug. 12.
Because the strike began on a Friday, the minor leagues have had the benefit of two full weekends, when attendance is usually at its best. In many places, there's been nice weather, and that has helped.
"I think a big factor is that everyone is talking about the minor leagues since the strike," Midwest League president George Spelius said. "And every time you turn on ESPN or CNN to watch sports, they're showing the minors."
While the Kane County Cougars and West Michigan Whitecaps have been drawing big crowds all year in the Midwest League, the Beloit Brewers have done
especially well since the strike.
When the strike started, the Beloit Brewers placed ads in Milwaukee's two major newspapers, suggesting that fans drive down to see the Class A affiliate of the big league Brewers.
Beloit is located about 75 miles from Milwaukee.
Others loops that have done well since the strike include the Triple A International League and American Association and the Class A Appalachian and South Atlantic leagues, all up at least 20 percent.
In Bowie, about 25 miles south of Baltimore, the crowds last weekend averaged 9,748 to see the Albany-Colonie Yankees. Before the strike, the Baysox were drawing 6,636.
