As the U92 radio station finishes up the 2025 Pledge Drive, there is a reflection of how important the radio truly is to the music industry and society as a whole. Radio is known to be the first form of broadcasting dating back to the beginning of the 1900s. With radio, the music industry was able to skyrocket as music could be shared with people near and far. Artists and producers found having their songs on the radio to be a high level of achievement and something to work towards. 

In recent years, the rise of streaming services and new technologies has transformed the way people consume music. Yet, radio remains a powerful force, continuing to provide artists with a platform to share their work with the world. Beyond music, radio offers broadcasters a unique space to inform, entertain, and connect with their audiences in a way that digital platforms often struggle to replicate.

The Mountaineers will be playing the TCU Horned Frogs at 9:00 pm on Tuesday in a Big 12 brawl. TCU and West Virginia are both coming off losses and are desperate for a win. 

West Virginia had a rough stretch of games over the last month, having lost four of the seven games played in February. These games have consisted of heartbreaking losses to games that leave fans on the edge of their seats. Injuries on the team have fans concerned about the outcome of the season. 

The No. 18 West Virginia Mountaineers (19-5) look to bounce back on its Senior Day against the University of Cincinnati Bearcats (14-9). 

In its last game at Baylor University, WVU could never put the breaks on the Bears’ high-powered offensive attack, losing 75-65. Junior Jordan Harrison had a solid game for the Mountaineers, scoring 20 points on 7/13 shooting and four steals. 

The West Virginia Mountaineers are set to take on the Cougars of Brigham Young University (BYU) at the WVU Coliseum on Tuesday evening. 

The Mountaineers are coming off an important 72-61 win last Saturday over the Utah Utes. While Senior Guard Javon Small was held to only 5 shots from the field, fifth-year guard Joseph Yesufu and sophomore forward Amani Hansberry both went 6-10, and four players finished with over 10 points despite being at a severe height disadvantage. 

Former longtime WVU assistant and interim head coach Josh Eilert returns to the WVU coliseum for the first time since not being retained by the university. 

Josh Eilert was on staff in numerous roles at West Virginia from 2007-2024. Eilert took on the interim head coaching position after the dismissal of Bob Huggins before the 2023 season. Under Eilert, WVU went 9-23 with wins over Kansas and Texas who were in the top 25 at the time.  Eilert was hired by Utah in the offseason. 

Small-town angst is something almost all Bruce Springsteen fans can relate to. No one describes that feeling better than The Boss—you can see that finish line, imagine yourself speeding off onto that dark and dusty road—but many people never quite know how to make it there. They get stuck.

Darkness on the Edge of Town evokes the opposite feeling. Bruce’s fourth studio album (and perhaps the most underrated of his earlier records) lets the listener know that perseverance and grit can get you out of any place, no matter where you are. Your hometown and history do not have to define you.

No. 18 West Virginia Women's Basketball welcomes the Kansas Jayhawks into the coliseum on Wednesday night.

The Mountaineers are coming off a marquee 54-37 win against the previously No. 24 ranked Oklahoma State Cowgirls last Saturday. The win moved West Virginia to 17-4 overall with a 7-3 conference record which ranks fifth in the Big 12.

The Land of Lincoln. It is a place known for many facets. Maybe one comes to Illinois for the expansive swaths of cornfield that populate a majority of its area. Maybe it’s for the suburbs where many placid suburbanites spend their days growing older and taller. Maybe it’s for that glorious forest of metal that is Chicago. However, I am revisiting my own home state for one reason alone: a look into the illustrious album of Sufjan Stevens, Illinois. What implores a man from Michigan to look just one state over to inspire him into composing a conceptual genre bending collection of songs?

Funny enough, that story seems to start with Michigan. Not the state that Stevens is originally from, but the album he composed in reverence to it. That previous album and eventually the one this piece is analyzing were meant to be part of what was described as “the 50-state project”. This ambitious, yet unfortunately never fully realized, project was envisioned as a studio length album to correspond with each state in the United States. However, Stevens eventually admitted that this concept was imagined more as a joke and less of an artistic vision. While songs related to Arkansas, New Jersey, and New York were eventually released in some sort of manner or another, Illinois seemed to be the last in this series, albeit far from the last album he released. 

West Virginia Men's Basketball (13-6, 4-4) are set to host the No. 6 ranked Houston Cougars (16-3, 8-0) on Wednesday night in Morgantown.

In their last game the Mountaineers fell at the hands of the Kansas State Wildcats in a double-digit loss in Manhattan. This marked the Mountaineers’ second straight loss to an unranked opponent since their marquee win against the former No. 2 ranked Iowa State Cyclones on Jerry West Night.

The now ranked No. 23 West Virginia Mountaineers (13-4) will host the Arizona State Sun Devils (10-7) on Tuesday.
