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.

The No. 16 West Virginia University Mountaineers (40-10) are set to host the University of Kansas Jayhawks (39-14) in the final regular season series this year. 

With one win, WVU can take home its first solo Big 12 regular season title. In 2023, WVU was in a similar position, but got swept by the University of Texas at Austin Longhorns in the season finale, forcing them to share the regular season title with both Oklahoma State University and Texas.

I get there at 5:30 PM. Soundcheck is just starting, clothes are strewn about the greenroom, and the bar above the venue has barely enough patrons to fill out table. I leave the venue at 10:45 PM. A mix of speaker feedback and screaming crowds leave me deafened, my heels feel like they are about to actively fall off my feet, and enough smoke has been dispatched from the smoke machine to make the stage look like a Sublime show.

Obviously, it is hard to tell much about a show solely from how it began and how it ended, and arguably the same can be said for Deep Sea Diver, a Seattle based indie rock project described as “indie rock with some kind of dream pop elements and kraut inspiration” by the woman who put it all together: Jessica Dobson.

As the school year comes to an end, so does my time as U92’s station manager. A time that I have been waiting many years for is suddenly so close and yet, it’s incredibly hard for me to even think about this transition into the “real world,”. I thought about picking up a fifth-year option, but I don’t think I have it in me to do another two years of school, so graduation it is. 

Since joining the station in 2022 when I transferred to WVU, I have always joked around and told people that this station was my baby, except when I look at it, I definitely feel like it’s more of a statement than a joke. When I first joined, I was lost on what I wanted to do while at WVU. I was coming here with a clean slate where I knew absolutely nobody and was on my own for the first time in my 20 years of existing. I’m forever grateful that U92 snuck into the student organization fair on the Mountainlair green, because if I hadn’t talked to now U92 alum Griffin McMorrow, I wouldn’t be sitting here trying to compact three years into a few hundred words. 

The No. 16 West Virginia Mountaineers (37-6) return home this weekend for a pivotal three-game Big 12 baseball series against the Texas Tech Red Raiders (15-26), running Friday through Sunday at Kendrick Family Ballpark.

The Mountaineers are looking to bounce back after following a heartbreaking 7-6 loss to in-state rival Marshall. With three Big 12 series left to play, West Virginia aims to stay atop the standings and secure just its second regular-season conference title in program history

SASAMI’s newest album, Blood on the Silver Screen, was released on March 7th. The pop album consists of 13 songs and is 41 minutes of pure vibes. In a quote on her Spotify page, SASAMI said, “This album is all about learning and respecting the craft of pop songwriting, about relenting to illogical passion, obsession, and guiltless pleasure. It’s about leaning into the chaos of romance and sweeping devotion—romanticism to the point of self-destruction.”

With the 89th pick in the 2025 NFL Draft, West Virginia offensive tackle Wyatt Milum was selected Friday to join the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

Where Did You Sleep Last Night - Live by Nirvana

It's not a new song, obviously, but the song itself is full of so much angst. It is a cover of an old “Lead Belly” song, but spoofed up into the Nirvana grunge style. The lyrics fit the vibe of Nirvana so well as the grunge undertones on the guitar suit the style of lyrics perfectly. “My girl, my girl, don’t lie to me” is one of the hardest-hitting lyrics in the song, especially being paired with “I would shiver the whole night through,” insinuating he would rather be with his “girl” than anywhere else. The second half of the song really captivates me as Cobain screams the chorus of the song in a soul-crushing way that makes you feel as though you are experiencing the pain of the lyrics through the group themselves.

The 24th-ranked WVU Mountaineers (31-4) will host the University of Cincinnati Bearcats (21-15) in a three-game conference duel Thursday through Saturday in Kendrick Family Ballpark. 

The Mountaineers come into this series on an 11-game winning streak and are first in the Big 12 Conference with a 10-3 record. The Bearcats hop into Granville off a rivalry loss to the Xavier University Musketeers and are seventh in the Big 12 with an 8-7 record.
