West Virginia was one of September's best teams, and Syracuse was one of November's. Which team will bring its A-game to Yankee Stadium? And which star receiver will you miss the most?

There are a multitude of reasons why the Mountaineers owe the Orange a giant knuckle sandwich Saturday at the Pinstripe Bowl in Yankee Stadium.

Here's my attempt to dissolve any good will that I have with West Virginia fans.

The day began with Ryan Nassib and Geno Smith ringing the New York Stock Exchange opening bell. A lot of people from both teams and schools were on hand but guess who was front and center when it happened?

"The snowbanks," Delone Carter recalled during a recent telephone conversation. "That was crazy, man."

The Syracuse Orange arrived in New York City Tuesday night in preparation for December 29th's Pinstripe Bowl match-up with the West Virginia Mountaineers. Wednesday, they hit the town in sailor suits, singing showtunes and dancing in the streets.

Third time the charm for Geno Smith to beat Syracuse as West Virginia's starting QB? He sure seems to hope so.
