38-10 WVU, end of 1st half

YOu were going to go for it on 4th and six deep in your own territory when you were losing by thirteen? That seems unlikely.

Given the fact we were down 13 to the #2 team and the clock was somewhat winding down, I'd say so. Seems like a good idea to get some momentum prior to the half. That's my take anyways.

Guess you're right, damn that is a ridiculous penalty. Aside from putting on a broadway performance at the 3 yard line I doubt we'll ever see it used. What a stupid penalty.

LOL I've always gotten a kick out of this classic message board excuse.

He probably tried to kick him, but he came up short.....

Was trying to kick a guy about 30 yards down parking lot in stride but instead nailed a guy right in the chest about 15 yards center lot? :lol:

I don't think I've actually said anything particularly inflammatory, there are just several fans here who can't have anything but positive LSU news spoon fed to them 24/7. (Ok that was the first inflammatory thing I've said)

As for the gentleman asking me to name the names and instances of the players, I'll be frank I'm not going to sit down and go back through the game for that. But when Herbstreit and Musburger start to bring it up, that's around the instances I'm referring to.

Secondly as for MikeDahTiger, it's nice you wouldn't spend 4 days on our board, but you kind of have spent 4 days following me around and hassling me on this board, so I'm not quite sure what that says. Honestly we play Bowling Green next and Tiger Rant is far more entertaining (for better or worse... mostly worse) than reading countless realignment rumors or what our strategy vs Bowling Green is.

As for what I've said, still don't see the big hub-ub about it. If WVU was playing a no huddle offense and they were gassed I would expect them to dive too, and I would have no issue with it. It's naive to think it's not part of the game, and it's naive to think it doesn't happen everywhere. Just as mystified by the whining over here am I by the whining on BGN and in the WVU locker room. If our offense is so fragile that a few pauses breaks it then we were going to falter either way. The WVU locker room just made it very clear to everyone that they let the Tigers into their head.

I lived in Lincoln from '01-'04. Baseball is the 2nd most popular of the Univ. of Nebraska's teams, much more than basketball. Their off-campus stadium has > 10K.

I lived in Omaha for a period of time as well, that has a lot to do with Rosenblatt being in the state. If any state holds the national championship every year, it's going to kick up the interest in that sport in the surrounding area.

Most overused word on Tiger Rant? Class. It's almost as bad as BGN's obsession with twitter rumors.

Why both fanbases are bitchy over this is beyond me. It's a strategy that we (WVU) would have employed as well if we needed it because it obviously works. I don't really care if it's classy or not, this is football not the friggin ballet, it stops being something you can call class right about the time you drive a guy into the ground. It's a tactic, it worked.


That said, LOL at the LSU fans thinking their players didn't do this. I mean come one guys, it's was like a soccer game. Go to the ground, act like you've been shot, slowly walk to the sideline, take 1 play off, good as new! Not even cramps are the quickly recovered from.

Both sides look like idiots, the Eer fans for thinking it actually mattered/getting pissy, the Tigers for thinking it didn't happen.

They're practically tethered at the leg to UVA after it took the Governor to get the ACC to drop Cuse the first time around and take them instead. VT won't go anywhere, especially not at a 20 mil buy out.
