Morning Mashup - 9/14

Your morning look back, around the headlines and into the future.

On This Date:

- West Virginia has an all-time record of 5-1. Aside from the 45-24 beatdown of Maryland back in 2006, this has been a day for close games as the five other contests were decided by five points or less: 35-32 over Cincy in 2002; 10-9 over ECU in 1996; 21-16 over South Carolina in 1991; 20-18 over Duke in 1985; and a 25-29 loss to Richmond in 1974.

- After several days in a row with multiple birthdays, it's a day of rest for the Mountain Mamas out there.
