re: Don't want WVU in the SEC

So you're saying LSU and its fanbase is really excited today because we beat what is a mediocre school's mediocre team, and that led to our being ranked #1 in the AP and #2 in the Coaches polls? How come you know so much about WVU, and the ones of us who saw a major war of a game last night just missed that mediocrity entirely and felt WVU was a very worthy opponent? Ever see the movie Rocky (1)? He lost to Apollo Creed, but Rocky was no loser.

1. Why is WVU average - because if they competed in the SEC they would fare no better than our middle of the pack schools. They showed that last night. Do you really think they'd ever win the SEC? Their facilities are not in the the same league as our premier schools and they bring nothing revenue-wise due to the small TV market. Remember, conference expansion is about $$.
2. To win, WVU would have needed to score four more TDs. So yes, compared to the elite in college football, I would classify them as mediocre/average. Apparently the power-brokers in the SEC agree.
3. Lastly, you are aware that Rocky was not a documentary.
