edrforshey 27 Report Share Posted May 16, 2005 that they can beat Marshall 2 out of 3 years, So that they can Host a 4th game against Marshall. HOW STUPID!!! Just sign a contract that's either 3 for 1 or 2 for 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beaverbaseball 10 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 what?? how can WVU make a bet?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I agree it's unorthodox, but considering the differences they 2 schools had in scheduling a series, it's a reasonable compromise for each school, either has the potential to have the the series the way they preferred, but whichever program it is will simply have to earn it.

edrforshey 27 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 That's the difference between hosting a home game and making 2 million and having to go on the road an only get $250000. So that's why I said they are betting 1.75 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluefield_Rules 46 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 If WVU is as much better than Marshall as many of their fans think, then they have nothing to worry about.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WeirFootball 10 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I'm not trying to stir up trouble, but I think WVU is going to make it a clean sweep of the series. With the very solid recruiting classes coming in and the huge amount of young talent, I don't think Marshall has the athletes to play w/ WVU. Their best shot to beat the Mountaineers was when they had Moss and Pennington and WVU had a down year and they still couldn't do it. Personally, I can't wait to see the first game of the series between these two programs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zach 10 Report Share Posted May 17, 2005 I don't totally understand, so whoever wins 2 of 3 games wins 1.75 million? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] No, whichever team wins two of the first three games gets to host the fourth game. If Marshall wins 2 of 3, it will cost WVU $1.75 million by not getting to host the fourth game.

futbolking 766 Report Share Posted May 18, 2005 Actually, it's a 7 year deal, with WVU hosting 4....Marshall hosting 2.... and whoever wins 2 of the first 3 will host the 7th and final contest. Either way... WVU comes out the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buzzsawBeaver 12 Report Share Posted May 19, 2005 "97 was hardly the herd's best team, likely 4th or 5th best since they've been in d1 and not even close to their '99 team. Anyhow, the more they've played against the stronger teams of the bcs, the closer those ooc games have become in recent seasons. Make no mistake about it if the herd can defeat k st., play tn, oh st. and ga. close, all away games, then they can more than compete with wv. They'll likely have their share of victories against wv in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
