Morrisey commits up to $13M in state funds to fill SNAP void; WV Guard to distribute

Morrisey commits up to M in state funds to fill SNAP void; WV Guard to distribute

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey, on Oct. 28, 2025, challenged West Virginia citizens to donate money to a new fund — which the state will match to the tune of up to $13 million — to buy and distribute food to food banks and pantries across the state as federal SNAP benefits (commonly known as food stamps) are set to expire on Nov. 1, 2025, as the federal government remains shut down. Morrisey also said he would call up to 200 West Virginia National Guard personnel to active duty to aid in the distribution of the food. Morrisey said the temporary end of SNAP program funding left 270,000 West Virginians depending on food stamps and other nutrition programs “caught in the crossfire” in the Congressional war of wills that led to the shutdown, which the Republican governor blamed on Democrats.

Between The Eers: How Many Wins Will West Virginia Hoops Get This Season?

Between The Eers: How Many Wins Will West Virginia Hoops Get This Season?

On Sunday, West Virginia did exactly what it was supposed to do against an inferior opponent, with all due respect to Wheeling, cruising to an 80-54 victory in an exhibition. Now, it’s time to turn the page and focus on the season-opener, which is slated to tip off exactly one week from today against Mount St. Mary’s.

On today’s episode of Between The Eers I discuss…

Harlan Obioha was really impressive, even if he had a clear advantage in the paint. He moves extremely well for a guy that’s 7-foot and 260+ pounds, and seeing him even stretch out to defend on the perimeter was a surprising sight. Treysen Eaglestaff and Honor Huff had a rough night shooting the basketball, but it’s nothing to be concerned about. Those two have made shots their entire lives, and one off night is not an indication of how they’ll shoot it the rest of the season.

Anytime you flip an entire roster, all possibilities are on the table. I’m going with a rather conservative prediction because there are just too many unknowns, although I really do like the makeup of the roster. They have more scoring options than we saw last year, and with Ross Hodge having a defensive background, they should be able to play well enough on that end of the floor to be a team fighting for a spot in the NCAA Tournament.
