wvuraiders 10 Report Share Posted April 11, 2008 What do Stanford, Texas, California, Penn State, Ohio State and West Virginia all have in common? Those are the top six athletic departments in the country, according to the latest U.S. Sports Academy Directors’ Cup standings released earlier today. Impressive to see where what overall athletic programs has done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] A VT fan as yourself has little room to talk about this. [/ QUOTE ] Thank you MavsRock for just proving my point!!! I didn't want to say it, I was just waiting for someone to hang themselves and your neck fit the noose nicely. Doesn't anyone remember the bashings VT has taken over the last several years due to the indiscretions of a few players...some that weren't even part of the team when their indiscretions took place??? Yet, you all bashed the ENTIRE VT athletic department and its teams' accomplishments anyway. This is a clear case of the shoe being on the other foot yet you don't want to acknowledge the fact that your program got to where it is by recruiting and retaining less than "model citizens". Its OK since its your school. Well, in your eyes it may be OK, but the rest of the world is now laughing, pointing fingers, and reffering to WVU at the new "Thug U.". Move over Miami and VT...there's a new "gangsta" in town... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GetMoney55 11 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 Thank you G-Man. With me being a Miami fan and all, Ive tried to tell people that they are not the "THUG U" tag-wearing school anymore. Sure, Miami had the huge brawl with FIU in 2006, but remember it was started by the FIU player who punched the Miami lineman. No current or recent Miami player over the past 4 or 5 years has gotten into significant trouble off or on campus. Yes, there are little things like being late for practice and such that some players have been disciplined for, but no fighting in bars for stepping on someones shoes, no drug rings, nothing. I just think that these WVU fans cant accept it that they have that tag now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 No one has condoned the actions of any athlete who has committed a crime. You guys are missing the point. How many student athletes compete at WVU? How many were arrested last year? You guys are taking a thread that highlights the accomplishments of the WVU athletic teams as a whole and turning it into something else.

beano5 14 Report Share Posted April 12, 2008 no no JJ YOU need to stop being so ignorant...just about every thread that is started about VT has turned into a VT bash thread because someone will say something off topic and it will just be bash central..Vick got in trouble...and the response by WVU fans was...yeah look at that VT product...what an outstanding citizen blah blah blah...yet if someone gets on here and says ONE bad thing about WVU its as if hell has broken loose on that one person for saying something bad...
