Owen Schmitt = Beer truck

Fiesta Bowl: West Virginia Runs Over Oklahoma 48-28

Posted 1/3/2008 on FanIQ Blog

Q : West Virginia rushing yards or times Oklahoma's band played Boomer Sooner. A : 'Eers by just an edge. If Boomer Sooner was played throughout my nightmares, then I'm guessing the Oklahoma defense was still trying to catch Pat White and Noel Devine throughout theirs. It was so bad, fullback/part-time beer truck Owen Schmitt ran for a 57-yard touchdown run . In total, West ...

SMQ Bowl Blitz: Are We Not Entertained?! Not Quite...

Posted 1/3/2008 on Sunday Morning Quarterback: Front Page Posts

A New Year's wish today for the Orange Bowl: a halfway watchable game. The BCS has brought us two straight nights and one much-anticipated afternoon of excruciating blowout football salvaged only by the very anathemic tears of Colt Brennan and Owen Schmitt, misdemeanors that could be forgiven to a great extent if the postseason underlings hadn't previously brought us the actual on-field ...

Video Picks for 1/3

Posted 1/3/2008 on MVN Outsider

In perhaps the greatest/strangest comparison ever, Matt Vasgersian refers to West Virginia fullback Owen Schmitt as a “runaway beer truck” at the Fiesta Bowl: Another classic moment from Vasgersian during last night’s game (this clip speaks for itself): (hat tip to Ballhype for both of these videos)

Vasgersian Not The First To Refer To Schmitt As A Beer Truck

Posted 1/3/2008 on Awful Announcing

This upsets me greatly as I thought Matt Vas was the inventor of the Owen Schmitt beer reference, but alas...that is not the case. Apparently Washington Post writer Mike Wise referred to the WVU Fullback as a "Beer Truck" before as well.... It's not like his reputation isn't out there. Schmitt has the rare ability to hold onto the ball -- or deliver punishing blocks -- in heavy traffic. "He ...

I don’t even know what that means

Posted 1/3/2008 on The Postmen // A Sports Blog // Chicago, IL.

Because the Hoosiers were playing in the depressing cavern that is Carver Hawkeye Arena last night, I wasn’t able to catch much of West Virginia’s uber-pwnage of Oklahoma. Though that didn’t stop Matt Vasgersian from reflexively blowing my mind. “Runaway beer truck?” Pass the spliff to the left, Matty. Isiah’s starting to come down over here. ...

ODE TO OWEN SCHMITT

Posted 1/3/2008 on EDSBS

He droppped off his tape expecting nothing, not a scholarship offer or even attention. He walked on and finished as the starting fullback. He once bent three masks in a game against Maryland. He hang cleans 520 pounds. He wears a mohawk. He blocks like Hellboy tackling a demon from another dimension . He rugby punts for his team occasionally, and when he botched a kick against Louisville ...

Fox's Matt Vasgersian Identifies Owen Schmitt As A 'Runaway Beer Truck'

Posted 1/3/2008 on FanIQ Blog

This call serves as the lone highlight thus far for the joke that is Fox's BCS announcing coverage. Beastly West Virginia fullback Owen Schmitt bounced free which led play-by-play man Matt Vasgersian to identify him as a "runaway beer truck" en route to a 57-yard touchdown scamper rumble. I'd say this was the crowning moment of Owen Schmitt's career -- I mean, who ...

West Virginia tabs Stewart as Head Coach

Posted 1/3/2008 on Fanblogs.com

West Virginia looked high and low to find its next head football coach, and then settled on someone the Mountaineers already knew - promoting interim head coach Bill Stewart to head coach . On the heels of WVU's win over Oklahoma in the Fiesta Bowl , Stewart will be named the new head coach in a press conference scheduled for 11am EST today . Fullback Owen Schmitt, who scored on a ...

(Video of Matt Vasgersian calling West Fuckin’ Virginia FB Owen Schmitt a runaway beer truck courtesy of Awful Announcing . Matty V also noticed the whole Dingle-Berry joke that the Mottrams brought to us a while back.) West Fuckin’ Virginia 48, Oklahoma 28 - Damn, what the fuck was that we were talking about how OU was gonna destroy the Big East team, rudderless and ...

WVU OWEN SCHMITT, GONE BUT NEVER FORGOTTEN!!!!! WVU 48 OU 28

Posted 1/3/2008 on Bleacher Report

As I watched the ending of the Fiesta Bowl I wondered what if? What if WE would have beaten Pitt? Everyone in the country was refering to Oklahoma as the number 1 skilled team in the country, well WVU put it on them bad! So, where does this put WVU? Over Georgia? After a blow out many said would me number one. Well, in my opinion this was a more convincing win all and all. But I ...
