6-7 starters isn't a "few" starters, especially given which starters, but I'm guessing you knew that given that you followed that with the absurd assertion that I used that to claim we were obviously the better team. First, I've never claimed we were the better team. I've only provided "the...

You'll have better luck on the WVU boards...those UWV boards don't get much Mountaineer traffic. The only WVU site I really use is the 247 site (West Virginia Mountaineers Football). There have been several threads about our game/fans but I think you're right, there's more posts here. A...

Some counter points: 1. First, I'd bet that for all but a lucky few (AL, tOSU, etc.) there is always a significant drop off from a potential Heisman candidate to his backup. Second, our backup last year was woefully inadequate, great kid, but never should have gotten a schollie. Also, I...

I can understand why you would say that but it's not that simple. Had Grier not gotten hurt I think we would have finished out 2-1 instead of 0-3. We would have beaten TX and probably Utah. I say probably Utah only because we lost 7-8 starters for that game. Holgs abandoned his offense early...

Against my better judgement, as I think it will fall on deaf ears, I'd like to point out that all the stories about the LSU fan that was beaten were discredited when the wife of the man beaten gave an interview and said it had nothing to do with football fans. They were not wearing any...

That game was misleading. We played without our starting QB, RB and multiple linemen. IIRC, we were missing 7 starters. I'm too lazy to go look it up and frankly don't want to revisit it. Our 2nd string QB was so bad we ran the wildcat for much of the game, something we almost never did...

What?? The final score was 24-31. We were 15yds away from tying the game in the final seconds. Uncharacteristically our top receiver let a pass thrown slightly behind him slip through his arms. Team statistics were similar and neither team ever lead by more than 7. That's not an...

pismonque, you are correct on the INTs. I went back and looked and I can't even figure out how I made the mistake. My apologies. Looks like we started watching the Eers about the same. Sadly it appears you turned to the Orange dark side. :P

I'm not sure where you got that he led the Big 12 in INTs. According to CFBStats only OK, KS, and Baylor threw fewer INTs. KS and Baylor were near the bottom of the Big 12 in passing yards and OK, well, was OK. cfbstats.com - 2017 Big 12 Conference Team Leaders As for the 4 INTs against...

He played, briefly, against a unanimous All American S at TX. That was the game he broke his finger very early in the game. I get your point though. I'll say this, every Big 12 team knows they are going to face high powered passing attacks. Consequently they recruit to defend against...

Not sure where you got this from. We were ranked #28 in sacks allowed. Grier's TD/INT was 34/12. There's no place that has INTs attributable to tips or the WRs but I know there were several. Of course I guess there were probably balls that should have been intercepted too. Your concern...

Winner, winner, chicken dinner for best way to early prediction. And an assist for griffdog14. Why West Virginia could have college football's top offense in 2018 - Jake Trotter ESPN I'm not drinking the KoolAid yet though. Our offense was pretty good last year and yet we had way too...

Appreciate the heads up. We call it "burlywood" on our site. I'm going to assume he meant blue font for his entire post then.

Not sure what "blue font" means but I too lived in Lost Wages for several years and had extensive experience with sports bettors. That said, the city and industry is big enough that I have no problem accepting that you may have had a different experience.

If we could make that assessment so, I think I'd take it and be happy. While "pressure" doesn't equal sacks we finished a respectable, albeit not exceptional, #28th in sacks allowed last year. We're also returning 4 of 5 OL next year. As much as I'd like to, I can't argue with your take on...
