WFBY Holiday Week!!!

Hi and Thanks for rockin'!!
It's pretty quiet around the rockin' radio landscape this week as lots of folks are taking some much needed days off. (me included) I'm currently in Hilton Head, South Carolina where it was 70 degrees and sunny today!!! Wow what a change from the Mountain State. I'll be back on air on WFBY on Monday December 31 to count down the New Year!!!
Good Luck to the West Virginia Mountaineers as they head to Arizona and the Wednesday January 2nd Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma. Coach Stewart is leading the team and I've heard practices with him have been good and the team is pumped.
Don't forget to wear your blue and gold on Wednesday. My Chicago brother-in-law just gave me a really nice Blue WVU sweatshirt with gold letters and I'll be sporting that on Wednesday.
Meanwhile, the search for a new coach continues. I think the University is looking for a coach who can continue the spread offense to help the players who are currently here, and the ones Coach Rod has recruited. It's gonna be a very capable coach no matter who they pick. I expect an announcement next week after the bowl game.

John Boy and Billy will give you a chance to win a DVD player and some free movies to watch this winter starting on Wednesday morning January 2nd. It's gonna be a great 2008!!!

The West Virginia Toughman competition is our first fun event coming up at the end of January. Listen to the FBY over the next several weeks for your chance to win your FREE tickets.

Rockin' on into 2008 Classic Rock 102.3 The FBY!!!!!

This Week at WFBY

Hey Gang!
Wow what a way to end up 2007!! Coach Rod is leaving the Mountaineers and emotions across the Mountain State are running high. Personally, if it was me I'd do the same. I don't like Michigan football, but it is one of the most storied programs in college football history. It's also the winningest college program ever. The chance to be a part of that tradition and mentioned in the company of the greats of all time is probably why Coach Rod is going there. Plus, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do. I had a lot of calls from people yesterday who are angry, upset and can't understand why he would leave when he's already making a couple million a year in Morgantown. I don't think it's as much about the money as it is the tradition and opportunity to be on a bigger stage... Ego plays a part in many decisions a lot of us make. as well. As does the desire to be bigger and better. But it also could be the frustration of not getting help from WVU as evidenced by the comments of some big time donors to the athletic program there.....There's more on this at a story out of Pittburgh.....

Here's a link to an interesting take on the West Virginia Football situation from the Pittsburgh Post Gazette....

Our Night guy Alice Cooper(weeknites 7pm-Midnight on Classic Rock 102.3 The FBY) participated in a dedication ceremony Saturday for The Rock, a music-themed youth center that's slated to be built at Phoenix's Grand Canyon University. The $7 million project, which is being spearheaded by Cooper's Christian nonprofit the Solid Rock Foundation, reportedly will feature a concert hall and recording studio, as well as basketball courts, rock-climbing walls and other facilities. "I hope that in years to come, The Rock will be the first of many such teen centers in Arizona and around the country," says the shock rocker.
