[quote]big question this raises: was all the extra consumption from LSU fans? Or from the WVU fans watching their team get run?[/quote] lol I'd say both Mathieu INT definitely resulted in at least 1 bonus beer for me...
I've gone to school at WVU for 7 years and that's actually the first I've seen the stadium. No one here really cares about college baseball, which could hurt our SEC chances but I hope not. One thing for sure, we won't win a game in conference play....

[quote]lsutigernosaint[/quote] Haha, I actually do understand your points. The gauntlet of the SEC schedule terrifies me and most WVU fans, which is why many fans would prefer the ACC -- feeling that we could be a VTech-type program. I respect your opinion, honestly no hard feelings. I've mad...

[quote]Did WVU play OU in '08?[/quote] Yeah we played them in the Fiesta Bowl. I believe the final was 48-24. I was there, but don't remember the exact score....

[quote]lsutigernosaint[/quote] So you honestly believe that Vandy would have dominated the Big East and also crushed a #3 ranked Sam Bradford led Oklahoma team in 2008? Edit: I really don't like getting into arguments on a message board, I am just trying to have a legitimate discussion....

[quote] quote: once in the SEC. Did I miss something? [/quote] This whole thread has been hypothetical if we were somehow to get into the SEC. And I think you heard some phony info on the other part. We don't play or are rivals with any schools from Virginia....

[quote]WVU is a solid program and they will be on the South Carolina level. They will compete for the East just they won't be the favorites usually. [/quote] Agree 100% Every WVU fan knows the SEC would be extremely difficult for us, and we would by no means be favorites to win. But I am opti...

[quote]come on now. you know you got to those BCS bowls by playing cakewalk schedules. similar to the one you play this year, other than LSU. when you come here youd be playing top flight competition week in and out for the most part, thus giving you similar records to that of vandy or kentucky i...

Sorry, but as I mentioned I am new here, what is the difference between the Tiger Rant and Score Board pages? I love your guys passion and will continue checking this message board. I think it's a great place to get SEC fans' perspectives on our school and also just SEC info in general....

And come on now, I know you LSU fans are very knowledgeable about college football and know that we have a much stronger program than Vandy and Kentucky. We have 2 BCS Bowl wins since 2006 (one over SEC champ Georgia). We also are 14th all time in wins, the most by any school without a National ...

[quote]Milan Puskar has a stated capacity of 60K, record is 70K......not sure how that worked. [/quote] The record of 70,000 was when our stadium held a higher capacity but was reduced when we removed seats in order to add luxury boxes. Unfortunately our stadium capacity is rather limited sinc...
[quote]furthermore, i hope the family tries to get this to news outlets to make west virginia, as a state and university, look really backwards and redneck...though i don't think they have a booming tourist industry[/quote] I don't know why you would say this. It's been mentioned several times i...

[quote]They want so bad to be invited into the SEC.[/quote] You have no idea how boring our conference schedule is.......
Sounds to me like WVU needs to boost their admission standards. Most of the complaints are about college students, and we are notorious for having some of the lowest admission standards. I think if we didn't have so many students that were just plain idiots, we would provide a much better gameda...
Threads like this make me not so proud to be a Mountaineer fan. I have lived in West Virginia my entire life and am a grad student at WVU now. I go out all the time in Morgantown, and I never encounter idiots like the ones described in here. Everyone I tailgate with always embraces visiting fans...
[quote]To allow the interactions between message board posters to paint the image of a fan base for you is unwise, better to go by the experiences of your Tiger brethren. As for BGN? It's got it's share of nuts, that said when the story first popped up details were shaky. Eer fans aren't exactly ...
@NC Tigah Thanks for providing some of the positive aspects. There have been some ignorant comments but 99% of Mountaineer Nation is completely embarrassed by this and feels for the family. This sort of thing has no place at a sporting event, it's just dumb....

[quote]trex1230[/quote] Unfortunately I didn't get to see the antics of Holgorsen that everyone on here is discussing, as I was watching from the upper decks of the student section. In the first 3 games, he has behaved fine, and he always seems to say the politically correct thing in interviews, s...
[quote]So is that pic of the beat up dude legit? No one has commented on it...[/quote] Wondering the same. Out of respect for the victim's family, that pic should probably be removed. No need to rush into convincing people it happened, all the details will come out in time....
