U92 has ears everywhere. Big ones. Antlers, too. Our lineup of DJs, sports
guys, newscasters, and management has a combined music taste that spans from
the one Taylor Swift song they always play on the radio (I think it’s called “I’ll
Write Your Name”? Not sure) to Limp Pumpo’s iconic and genre-defining
“SESHING MEDICALLY WITH THE BRAMPTON WARLOCK LORD WHILE IN MY
DUNGEON”. This past year saw some incredible albums released, and though we
may seem omniscient, we can’t listen to everything, and so quite a few albums and
EPs slip through our heads. Now, with 2024 solidly in our rearview mirrors (you
can’t really be sure the last year is gone till you hit September), I’d like to revisit a
few releases that we missed.

MORGANTOWN, W.Va.- U-92 will host their third radio presentation of the Backyard Brawl on Saturday, Sept. 13, for the finale of a four-game series between the Pitt Panthers and the West Virginia Mountaineers. 

The last time these two rivals met was at the home of the Pittsburgh Steelers at Acrisure Stadium on Sept. 14, 2024, the Panthers bested the Mountaineers 38-34 in that matchup. 

After a 2024 summer dominated by moments like Charli xcx’s BRAT phenomenon and the “me espresso” of Sabrina Carpenter, the pop music of 2025 has been… lackluster to say the least. While 2025 releases by the likes of country it-bro Morgan Wallen and Hype-House-member-turned-Mumford-and-Son Alex Warren have sat stagnant in the Billboard Hot 100 top 10, songs like Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” haven’t left the top 10 in over a full year. That is absolutely unprecedented when looking at chart history!

WVU women's soccer looks to improve to 4-2 as they are set to host Army on pups on the pitch night at DDSS. The Mountaineers are fresh off a road victory at Dayton where they cruised to a 2-0 win.

Junior forward Abbey Olexa scored both goals for the Mountaineers. All three of her shots were shot on goal as she was the offensive engine for the WVU attack. 

No. 6 West Virginia University Mountaineers Men’s Soccer (2-0-1) takes on the No. 13 Gardner-Webb University Runnin’ Bulldogs at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium on Wednesday afternoon.

Following a 0-0 road draw against the No. 11 University of Akron Zips in its last match, WVU will look to get back in the win column against another tough foe. The Runnin’ Bulldogs have won all three contests in the young season.  

MORGANTOWN, W.Va - U-92 The Moose will broadcast West Virginia football's home opener on Saturday, Aug. 30, against Robert Morris.

Saturday's game marks a new beginning for the program that was set in motion after the removal of former head coach Neal Brown on Dec. 1, 2024. Brown led the Mountaineers to a 6-6 campaign in 2024. 11 days later, WVU Vice President and Director of Athletics Wren Baker hired then Jacksonville State head coach Rich Rodriguez. 

Number sixteenth-ranked WVU looks to continue strong in the season as they are set to take on La Salle in an out-of-conference clash. The Mountaineers put up five goals in their first matchup against Manhattan, where junior forward Pablo Pozos scored a hat-trick. 

La Salle heads into Morgantown fresh off a 1-1 draw with Lehigh University. Lucas Kelley scored the lone goal for the Explorers. They were outshot in their match 10-7 with only four shots on goal. 

MORGANTOWN , W. Va - The No. 16 West Virginia Mountaineers open the 2025 campaign against Manhattan at Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium on Thursday Aug. 21. 

Leading the charge for the tenth time is Head Coach Dan Stratford, who led the Mountaineers through a successful 2024 season after winning the Sunbelt conference championship for the first time in program history taking down No. 8 Marshall then winning a single game in the national tournament against North Florida shortly thereafter, they were then eliminated by No. 11 Virginia three days later. 

MORGANTOWN, W. Va. - The West Virginia Mountaineers (0-1) return to Dick Dlesk Soccer Stadium on Thursday night, facing the Akron Zips. After a narrow 1-0 defeat to No. 15 Virginia last week in the home opener, the Mountaineers are looking to bounce back for their first win of the season. 

In last week's match, the West Virginia Mountaineers lost a tough game to the Cavaliers. Despite controlling possession for most of the game and outshooting Virginia 14-8 with five shots on goal compared to Virginia's two, a second-half goal in the 64th minute proved to be too much for the Mountaineers to overcome. 

U92 the Moose, WVU’s college radio station, earned top honors at the Golden Quill Awards on Wednesday, May 28, taking home one win and two finalist recognitions in the Student Excellence in Audio Journalism category.

The “Pit to Podium” podcast, a podcast dedicated to Formula 1 racing, won the Student Excellence in Audio Journalism award in the sports category for their episode, “Discovering the world of motorsports.” The show is hosted by Mark Altman and Sam Nichols.
