The West Virginia River the Gauley has some great white river rafting around the area. The spring brings lower water levels when the Army fills the reservoir in Summersville. This gives you a real rush because the drops are extreme. The water runs out of the reservoir at such rates to send you flying down the river. About one million gallons of water is released in one minute. Some love the Beast of the East, the Gauley River, but the New River Gorge sometimes called the Grand Canyon of the east gives you fantastic views of the rock formations and the trees that grow up out of rivers banks. The white water rafting in West Virginia leaves you breathless and wanting more. Some even hang around for rock climbing and hiking, which also becomes another memorable experience. Nowhere else you go will ever offer an experience as this, these rapids are a one of a kind from the start to the finish. Now get out and enjoy some greatwhite water rafting times with friends or family.

You can go rafting all the year, but you have to know it means a different challenge in every season. In springtime the river is full of big waves, only those with courage and adrenaline lovers try whitewater rafting in spring. This is class V, which means ‘very challenging’. Summer is for those who like cozy circumstances and who would like to enjoy scenery, instead of shouting and flinging among waves. It also means warm water, so you can swim and enjoy sunshine, too. If you go in autumn, you’ll love the colors of the nature. Another advantage of this season is that it is less crowded in autumn. So any time is a great time to experience whitewater rafting. It doesn’t matter if you are a beginner. There are many sections that are suitable for first-time rafters. Start with easy level, and you won’t have any problem. Additionally, anybody can try whitewater rafting, even children, pensioners or coach potatoes. So there is no excuse!

With getting better than two touchdowns, one factor looking good for Maryland is the fact that West Virginia hasn’t been tested at all in its first two games. Tailback Steve Slaton and quarterback Pat White didn’t even play the entire game against Eastern Washington last Saturday. These two highly-touted skill players will likely start slow in their first real test of the season.

Due to playing two extremely weak opponents to begin the season, West Virginia’s has the top rushing offense in the nation, the third in total yards, and the sixth in points. Maryland’s offense has been shaky. The Terps turned the ball over four times in their season opener to 1-AA William & Mary and they were outgained by Middle Tennessee last Saturday. However, Maryland has proven that its defense will be a formidable force this season. It was Maryland’s defense which kept the Terps in nearly every game last year. The Terps will be pumped up to play a team that they had beat last season. We will see their best effort of the season to this point and a much more aggressive offensive approach by coach Ralph Friedgen. Hollenbach played a career game last year against the Mountaineers and that will give him an extra boost of confidence in this one. Maryland’s quarterback threw for 291 yards on 20-for-31 passing in last year’s matchup, and I like him to have a great game again this year as West Virginia only returns 1 starter in the secondary.

The fact that this game is being played on a Thursday night also lends me to give the nod to the Terps as it will give the Mountaineers less time to prepare for their first test of the season. Maryland also has to deal with the same time constraints, but preparation won’t be as critical for the Terrapins as they know what to expect with West Virginia. The Mountaineers are going to run the ball nearly every play. The most important factor for the Terps is just to play like they have nothing to lose because they don’t. Also, not having to wait until Saturday gives Maryland’s passing attack the advantage as West Virginia’s inexperienced defensive backs won’t get as good of a look at the Terps’ offensive sets as they would in a normal week.

There’s no doubt that West Virginia is a good offensive football team and it will move the ball against Maryland despite Maryland boasting a solid defense. The Terps will be able to pass the football against West Virginia however, and I’ll take them in this one as better than two touchdown dogs with a small play.
