rabidbeaver 90 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yes, that game would make an excellent "Toilet Bowl" game... I'm not surprised that WVU lost...Even in there last win in Tampa when WVU dominated the Big East the year they won the Sugar Bowl, WVU had a hard time with them then. WVU does not play well down in Tampa against USF. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beaverbaseball 10 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I've been telling everyone that we didn't deserve to be ranked...We have not played quality football all year...Hate to see the outcome of the Cincy and Pitt games......But win or lose i'll always be there cheering for my mountaineers!

vthokies4life 10 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I never jumped on nor off the bandwagon...I'll always bleed blue and gold no matter how we perform on the field.. Exactly.

Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I never jumped on nor off the bandwagon...I'll always bleed blue and gold no matter how we perform on the field.. Not saying that you in particular fell off the bandwagon. But WVU is 6-2 and everyone is already counting them out. The truth is we still control our own destiny to win the Big East. Yeah it may look like Cincy could kill us but I'm not about to give up on them yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WVU is picked #2 by the coaches in the BE this season in basketball... 1. Villanova (10) 218 2. West Virginia (5) 215 3. Connecticut (1) 185 4. Louisville 179 5. Georgetown 161 6. Syracuse 152 7.

Deleted Account 5,203 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 They won't finish #2, and I'd be willing to put a LARGE bet on it. Just like UVA was picked last in the ACC, and there's no way in Hell they'll finish last. Preseason "rankings" are about as useless as teats on a bull, ESPECIALLY in basketball. WVU will have 7-9 losses before this season is out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) JJBrickface, the truth is, WVU is going downhill and fast. 3 years ago i was able to watch every single game on TV without a problem. Now, you have to resort to find a crappy video link or nothing at all, What im getting at by saying that is people wanted to watch WVU play ball, now they could care less. we've fallen off the map that far.... We were ranked high and we could actually win road games (Cincy 07) etc... Now we crap our pants every chance we get. Stew needs to do something and do it fast before he gets canned. I'm a WVU fan, I love WVU, But they are. You have to realize that Edited October 31, 2009 by bluefieldRocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JJBrickface Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 I disagree Rocks. You use the 2007 Cincy game as an example. We had to hang on by a thread to win that one. Cincy wasn't nearly as good then as they are now. Go back to 2007 and look at how Coach Rod and the team went down to South Florida and played like a bunch of girls.

bluefieldRocks 14 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 How often did we lose away games the past few years under Rod, compared to Stew? Our team shows no intensity, it's like a freaking ballet out there. 1st down, 2nd down, 3rd down, punt.... same thing over and over again I also think Geno Smith needs to start over Jarrett Brown, What has Jarrett Brown done for us other than losing us the Auburn game and crapping his pants last night... He's doing nothing, bench him, start Geno so he'll be even more prepared for next year If you don't think WVU is going downhill JJBrickface, then I dont know what to say..

Rod also didn't play At Auburn on Saturday night, however he did play at South Florida at night and he LOST. What is your evidence that we are going downhill? We are 6-2 and pulling in some good recruits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hokie07 11 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) JJBrickface, the truth is, WVU is going downhill and fast. 3 years ago i was able to watch every single game on TV without a problem. Now, you have to resort to find a crappy video link or nothing at all, What im getting at by saying that is people wanted to watch WVU play ball, now they could care less. we've fallen off the map that far.... Televised games are directly correlated with great football teams and/or opponents. When you find someone who is highly ranked (see VT several weeks ago and 2007-08 WVU) in or around the top 5 in the nation, then there is always an increased national exposure. There are a lot good teams out there who are left off ESPN because they don't exactly meet their standards. The only ways to get national ESPN exposure include, but are not limited to: 1.) Play in the Big 10 conference (considering their television contract.) 2.) Be in the national title/BCS hunt. 3.) Play the role of "America's Sweetheart" (see Boise St., TCU, Notre Dame, etc.) 4.) Schedule a game for a random non-traditional weeknight (Tuesday, Friday, Sunday, etc.) Of course they'll show other games on ESPN Regional and/or ESPN360, but if you don't fall into one of the 4 categories above, then you won't be seen on ESPN or ESPN2.

bhs7695 185 Report Share Posted October 31, 2009 Exactly. I'm the same way with Tech. Just... disappointed. There's always next year, fellas. Feel the same here. I don't wear my heart on my sleeve with them anymore. I've gotten use to the losses every year. It's disappointing, but it's not going to take away my love for Blacksburg, the school, or their sports teams. No matter how bad they are playing, I'm not going to skip out on a chance to watch them play live when i have a ticket. It's doesn't matter if they are a 50 point underdog.
